What other choice do we have if we trade Kyrie?Kyrie shot 50.5% from 2 last year, Rose shot 48.7% from 2, plus Kyrie has a deadly 3-point shot and Rose has no 3-point shot. So Kyrie is better from 2 and in another world from 3, which is why Kyrie was 41st in the league in eFG% last year while Rose was 101st in the league.
So while I agree with you that Rose was surprisingly efficient from 2 last year, he's just not in Kyrie's league as a scorer.
DRose is a great pickup for the minimum for us. I hope we're not counting on him to replace Kyrie though.
Unless we get back a great PG back Rose is our guy
