He will not win another championship...
2019 would have been a freebie for LeBron & Kyrie.I don't think him and lebron were winning another one.

Kyrie Irvings nets are 2-5 since Durant went out.People keep talking shit about Kyrie, but he just keeps going out there and proving people wrong. Kendrick Perkins said he couldn't lead a team to wins as the best player, Kyrie then goes out and drops 48pts 11rebs 6assts 4stls in a win against the Jazz. Then follows it up showing he still owns Curry lol with 38pts 9assts 7rebs performance in a come from behind win on the road.
With how volatile Kyrie is though it would never happen. And that’s not even fully considering ego on top of it.It's a shame. Had he and LeBron waited out GS, both would have at least one more ship with the Cavs. Probably two. That Cavs team would've beaten the 2019 Warriors [with KD going down] and Raptors, the 2020 Miami Heat, 2021 Bucks and Suns, and 2022 Celtics and Warriors.
And LeBron/Kyrie would've been one of the GOAT duos with Jordan/Pippen and Kobe/Shaq.

Kobe and Shaq had ego cut there’s short. Even Pippen still resents Jordan to this day as a clear number two. Probably because of lack of credit and Jordan’s leadership style.
Butterfly effect though - does Durant leave for Brooklyn if that happens? Maybe he goes to Miami or something. You just never know and that is why you never look back, never reminisce and live in the what if, and focus on the here and now which is Kyrie is on the downside of his career/LeBron is on an extended retirement tour and we have a couple moves to make to elevate beyond Gilbert Arenas Wizards level as a team, but we’ve gained a 25 yo All star starter so we’re trending upwardIt's a shame.

Nah, his stepmom couldn't get the Nets to budge on a long-term deal so he's quitting on the Nets instead. All kidding aside, they need to deal him to the Lakers.Nets moving to New Jersey? Is that what this is about?
