In the past I would say that. However, I don't think CP3 will have to work that hard playing in the Rocket's system for D'Antoni. People thought Nash was finished during his Dallas days until the link up with D'Antoni.
I could be wrong, but I don't think Melo wants to come here if Kyrie is not here. I think Melo wanted to play with Lebron and Kyrie. In other words, play with two other stars not one other star. (I'm not including Love)
I suspect you're right with Melo wanting to play with Kyrie as well. Melo likely had advance notice Kyrie wanted out when Melo took Cleveland off his list.
FWIW, if Lebron's camp leaked the Irving news, I wonder if it was more to get Derrick Rose to sign than to spite Irving. Going into the weekend it was said Rose would choose between Cavs and Lakers by the weekend. The Lakers were the oddsmaker favorites and then at the last minute just before the weekend, BOOM the Irving news hits, and Rose is delaying his decision. It will be interesting to see if Lebron appears magnaminous towards Kyrie after Rose signs with the Cavs.
