Other than Wall or Westbrook, all of those PG's would get traded for Curry in a heartbeat

You sound you just dont like him and want the cool guy contrarian opinion:yeshrug:


Popular opinion vs who's actually better are 2 different things

I don't know you raised you, but you should get used to someone who has a different opinion than you. It's a part of life, get used to it. If you think I'm the type to form an opinion because everyone follows it, you're talking to the wrong person :manny:

Kyrie is in the shortlist for most overrated player in the NBA. He's a great one-on-one isolation scorer but he's as one-dimensional as players get. He's accomplished a lot as a number two but that caliber of player is not fit to be the best player on a championship team.

Chill with Lowry. I don't even like Kyrie like that and I can admit he's better than Lowry.


Kyrie is the better talent but Lowry is currently the better basketball player and has much more impact towards actually winning games. Lowry is in the prime of his career however while Kyrie is still growing and truthfully has had his growth stunted by LeBron James. However one could say LeBron has helped his career as well. Lowry would thrive in Kyrie's role with LeBron.......but I'm positive if you put Kyrie on the Raptors the last few years as opposed to Lowry they aren't a team that's winning 56 and 51 games respectively.

Kyrie has a lot of growing up to do as far as playmaking, defense, running an offense, playing and moving off the ball.......basically everything else besides one on one scoring Lowry is better at.

There's a reason why in the Olympics the Lowry units were better than the lineups with Kyrie.



Like I said he might be top 5.

1. Russ
2. CP3
3. Steph
4. Wall
5. Lowry


I'm not willing to put it in this same order (I'd go Curry, Russ, Cp3, and Wall & Lowry could be interchanged based on years....Wall has the edge currently).....but for the past 4 seasons these 5 are clearly the top 5 point guards in the league. RPM and most of the advanced metrics along with my eye test tells me the same.

Danny Ainge hangs up phone immediately.
Ainge really has no choice but to at least discuss this situation :russ: IT gonna be literally worthless for everyone else if this situation is as bad as it looks. Sounds like he's broken physically and emotionally

Not as worthless as Kyrie would be for them, especially since he's the one who demanded to be traded and has made it clear that he doesn't want to play in Bron's shadow. Moreover, the Cavs WANT that Nets pick.

It's Cleveland who's in a bad spot here, not so much Boston.
