I think FiveThous misspoke. I think he meant to say that Kyrie is someone whom you rebuild with but not around. This is something I agree with as well. I don't think his offensive output offsets what he's giving up defensively. He's not a superstar player to me.
Great player nonetheless.
I think he is a nice player, but definitely not a superstar or even a star..It's all hype based on his flashy play and Uncle Drew commercials...the reason I want to trade Kyrie is because he is gonna get paid a max contract but he is not a max player. PG is the most irrelevant position in the NBA, especially if you can't pass the ball that well. PGs don't impact defense, rebounding well, and because of size limitations it's not like they can ever score like Durant or Lebron. They are complementary scorers- if they try to shoot a lot their efficiency plummets. Kyrie doesn't get teammates involved either on top of that. He is not a passer and he is injury prone.
PGs don't win you titles. CP3 is the best PG in the NBA and one of the best of all time and in his 6 years in NO he missed the playoffs 3 times, got eliminated from the first round twice and made it past the first round once and that team that went past the first round had a very good front court in Tyson Chander, David West, Birdman.
I have a feeling Kyrie is gonna leave anyways so trade him for a nice pick or nice player while you can. PGs simply don't impact the game the way top big men do. This is why it's 3 years 3 lottery picks under Irving. If Kyrie were to get resigned to a reasonable contract that would be fine, but he is gonna get paid like he is Durant. He is not a max player and never will be. I know I will probably get blasted for this post.
