I would take Kyrie over Wall right now.
wait LeBron doesn't make his teammates better and more cohesive when he's on the court? lol! now I've heard everything.Unlike Lebron James.... and I don't say this to be spiteful or bitter, unlike Lebron, he will make the other players on the court better and the team better and moe cohesive when he is on the court. That is something you can't teach or coach. It's something that relatively few in the game truly have, even amongst the greats. Something that the Jason Kidd's, Larry Bird's, Michael Jordan's, Magic Johnson's have and that certain something that Wilt Chamberlain, Lebron James, although immensely gifted and dominating... Lacked.
that's not unreasonable. wall can't make anything other than layups on offense and doesn't give enough effort on defense. throwing up gang signs isn't exactly an indicator of excellent character, either.I would take Kyrie over Wall right now.

We are building our core with a team concept threaded throughout. Getting the 'orchestrator' ... The leader and coach on the court in place at the very beginning makes it all the more favorable that this team will be built properly, and with the right type of person at it's core. The innate intangibles that Kyrie brings to the court and team far outweighs the physical gifts he has within him, which will make him all the more dominating of a force. When we drafted him I knew we were getting the best player in this draft, and a player that would be #1 or real close in just about any draft... But he's better than I expected. I was told he was poilseed/refined/developed beyond his years in terms of his ballhandling with either hand. Was told he was 'character plus' as a human being. But, even being out of shape and not even close to where he will eventually be as far as his the physical dynamic he will eventually bring to his game... He's got lots more than I had anticipated. He's quicker, faster ... Just e better overall athlete than I had anticipated. He will be a far more dominating and impactful than I had anticipated. Unlike Lebron James.... and I don't say this to be spiteful or bitter, unlike Lebron, he will make the other players on the court better and the team better and moe cohesive when he is on the court.

LeBron froze out entire offenses for 20 seconds on the shot clock and then maybe dished it off for a last second shot. He had to much potential to make his teammates better but he didn't as well as he could have.

LeBron making his teammates better was always way overhyped IMO. Why is it that almost everybody that came to the Cavs suddenly became worse? His constant holding of the ball made other people worse. I don't care what anybody says. Ball movement stopped once LeBron touched the ball at the top of the key. He put teammates in bad situations all the time by waiting and waiting, then finally driving and passing to a teammate with 1-2 secs on the clock who then had to force up a jumper right away. It is a coincidence? I don't know, but he was definitely overhyped in that area.
Most of LeBron's assists usually came from drive and kicks for deep jumpers. Rarely was he setting up other people for easy shots in the paint like we have already seen Kyrie do quite a few times.
