The guy does some unbelievable stuff on the court. His second year if you watched him every day you could tell that someday he would be a top 5 player. He has the court vision to make the right passes and is a lights out shooter.
Hes is Allen Iverson 2.0 with a better jumpshot and handles.

He has elite talent and with the right coach and offensive game plan, he will take that leap in to superstar-dome.

Last year you could tell he just didn't give a shyt during some games. I think the lack of an offensive plan really hindered his ability to do what he does best and I 100% blame that on the coach. There were games he just took off and it was really frustrating to watch him not give a shyt.

I really like Embiid but I think drafting Andrew Wiggins would be a perfect running mate with Kyrie. He needs a team mate that can help with perimeter defense and can do everything on the offensive end to help Kyrie improve his own offensive game. Kyrie and Wiggins in transition would be near unstoppable.

And I know its a pipe dream but if Lebron returns you have a line up of Kyrie/Wiggins/Lebron/Bennett. Use Waiters as a trade chip to get a garbage man center like Asik or Tyson Chandler and I really dont see a better line up in the league 2 years down the road.
I said the same exact thing

If he progress like hes suppose too, he can be the next iverson.

I consider elite players to be Top 15 or so. Kyrie's a great offensive talent, but he's not elite. That said, he's only 22

Overrated if I was the Cavs, I would trade him to the 76'ers for the third pick. Sign Livingston o

Livingston
Waiters
Parker
Bennett
Embid

In 15 games with the Cavs in 2011, and on one of the worst teams in league history, Baron Davis put up two double doubles playing with trash

You nikkas love making excuses for overrated players

What do you think about pairing him with Embiid though?

I actually think it could really improve his game.

I dont think anyone can 'improve' his game. Dude is a shoot first PG who sees passing as a secondary option to attacking. Simple as that. I don't think Embiid will change that. But I do see Embiid being the true franchise player this twam needs to start consistently winning games.

That's the thing though, if you draft Embiid you no longer need a pass first PG to set people up, Kyrie will just have to learn how to feed the post. Look at Tony Parker, he's an attack first PG that passes second and it has worked for them because they have another creator in Manu and a post threat in Duncan.

I said they should trade him prior to winning the lottery, I've changed my opinion on that now though, if they draft Embiid keep him and let him attack when the time calls for it. I think Embiid will do a lot to clean up roles on your team, and will increase Kyrie's efficiency in the long term.
