Maybe he should try becoming the 2nd best PG in the conference, because Lowry and Wall are here to stay.

When someone says "This notion that he doesnt play defense is hella overplayed" or something to this effect, it tends to mean that he's REALLY bad on defense, because guess what? Someone probably said the same shyt about Harden at some point

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Kyrie defense is TERRIBLE

Anybody denying that is delusional

@ the bolded

If you think Kyrie Irving is better than ANY of those players right now you're fukking delusional.

Where's the hype coming from? Drafted 1st overall and some Pepsi commercials, is that it?

 

[Majestic Pape]

I'm not giving anyone who hasn't won a playoff round, much less SEEN the playoffs, elite status.

 

[Majestic Pape]

This sounds reasonable to me...But im gonna revisit this thread a month or two into next season before I can give my opinion. A trash coach like Mike Brown is too much of a variable for me to give an accurate opinion.

On the contrary...Lebron was elite under Mike Brown. But the right system can to turn a role player to a superstar

LeBron would have been elite under anybody though.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

I like dude but he is not elite yet. Has the potential though.

 

[J-MIL]

Nah

I'd take Lillard over Kyrie in a heartbeat too

 

[NatiboyB]

Kevin Durant
Russell Westbrook
Derrick Rose
Kevin Love
John Wall
James Harden
Paul George
Blake Griffin
Damien Lillard
Demarcus Cousins
Goran Dragic
Stephen Curry

soon to be Jabari Parker and I guess Wiggins

i chose only players that are below age 30
Who will he supplant from here (once the 2003 nikkas retire) to become a top fiver? Top 5 my ass

He can feasibly replace all the bolded...can he yes will he probally not..

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.

Bron
Durant

Curry
Griffin

I plan on wall being even more improved this year so yes I value him more than curry.

Recording an assist while playing PG for the Post-Decision Cavs is one of the hardest achievements in sports
