First, it is debatable that Kyrie and Love are top 20 players, especially when factoring in their defensive woes. Furthermore, having two poor defenders on the court at the same time will make us a weak defensive team no matter how good defensively the other three players are. Lastly, both players are seriously injury prone. It'd be a recipe for disaster to put all of your eggs into a Kyre/Love duo. What makes this trade even more horrendous is that Waiters is in the trade, who had a great rookie season and I think will develop into an all-star caliber guard. If somehow Waiters was not in the trade then I could live with it, as Kyre/Waiters/Love would be the makings of a strong core. But the trade as reported is just giving up way, way too much.
