Kyrie Irving

Is this Kyrie's last year on his contract, or de we have him this year and next year as an option? I noticed the PDInsider tweet.

Cavs control Kyries contract for the next three years.
This coming year is the 3rd year in the original deal
2014-2015 is the option year
After that offseason he would be RFA and the Cavs could match any long term offer he received or just hold on to him for one more year.

That said, count on an extension being done next offseason, at the very instant he's eligible for it.

Memphis does not have less talent. theya re in fact deeper for OKC. sure with a healthy westbrook that would give the nod to okc but without him. you have

Conley> Jackson
Allen> Thefolasha
Prince< Durant
Randolph>Ibaka
GasoL> Perkins.
poindexter,Bayless, and Arthur = Martin, Fisher and Collison

OKC got lucky last season going to the finals not having to face Memphis.

The problem with Memphis is just as they struggled with the clippers last year they may have the same issues with Golden State,
The Spus would be a better matchup for them.

I was going to post this myself had you not done it ahead of time, and even then I don't think Westbrook is that much better than Conley, who is very underrated. The defense first works if you have 3 All-NBA Defensive members and two dominant big men. If you swap Randolph on the two teams, making Memphis even better defensively and OKC better offensively, I could definitely see OKC being ahead in this series quite easily.

You don't have to be elite defensively, you just have to be good enough defensively and pretty good on offense. The best non-superstar team was probably the Pistons team, which ironically resembles Memphis quite well. They had great team defense, but the difference is they had a few better go to scorers, just no superstars.
