He was a PG in HS. PG @ Duke and has been a lead PG here in the NBA (for 12 now years) along with a career usage of 29.4% (only Bernard King and Carmelo Anthony have ever had higher Career Usage rates in comparison to Kyrie Irving's 29.4%).
I think it'll be hard to teach an old dog new tricks and if anything (just hypothetically speaking); it'll become Jalen Brunson as the combo/off ball 2G (with Kyrie @ the Point of attack PG) similar to how Jalen Brunson was utilized alongside of Luka Doncic @ Dallas.
C; Mitchell Robinson.
PF: Julius Randle.
SF: R.J. Barrett.
SG: Jalen Brunson.
PG: Kyrie Irving.Looks like an immediate Eastern Conference Championship Contender (as long as Kyrie is focused on winning instead of drama). I'd personally give away 5 1st round picks for him lol.
Kyrie Irving led the entire team in Usage Rate Percentage (because he's the PG).
Shouldnt surprise you, Lebron is a top 5 PG all time.
LeBron has always been a natural SF before moving to PF and that's what you consider; a Point-Forward. I consider LeBron the greatest overall basketball player of All-Time. But he's not a "Point Guard" because true PGs don't end up as the #1 Scorer within basketball history.
To claim Kyrie Irving is a SG and not a PG is mind boggling to me.

Kyrie was essentially the off guard to Lebron's "one" during the Cleveland championship year. He also played off Harden last year.
This isn't true.

No, Lebron led the team in usage during that title run. It was close, but Bron was the leader.

You're right the expression is "point forward". I tend to call the floor general the PG, regardless of postion . And thats what LeBron was that season. Kyrie played off the ball when it mattered.
Dont disrespect Jackie!
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2194...
Irving was the point guard in name, but LeBron often assumed his role as a ball-dominant point-forward in crucial situations. It produced results. The team averaged 54 wins and went to three straight Finals in their three seasons together. But Irving's teammates say there were times Kyrie felt marginalized -- despite the fact that over the three years, he averaged nearly the same usage rate without LeBron (29 percent) as he did with him (28.6).

Looks more like an offense that will need another ball to satisfy everyone.
We'll have a starting 5 with 4 guys who need the ball to be at their best on offense. This was why I was more in favor of giving up RJ than Grimes in a trade for Donovan Mitchell.
Anyone who thinks our present "big 3" dominant offense creates a "stand around and watch" impulse in players who don't have the ball, will be even more happy when we have a "big 4."
Remember what Kyrie said "KD is the first guy I played with who I'm OK giving up the last shot."
You couldn't find a more different set of guys than Kyrie and Jalen, so unless you are willing to make the switch, don't even think about it.
Lakers:
Simmons
Kyrie
LeBron
Hachimura
Davis
Brooklyn:
Westbrook
Harris
O'Neale
Durant
Claxton

No one in their right mind would dispute that Kyrie is an amazing player, and on paper he would make any team formidable and a championship contender, including the Knicks.
But paper don't play, and his mercurial character makes his on-court contributions meaningless. He is a team cancer, and he has been dysfunctional on too many franchises to be seriously considered as an upgrade, desipte his amazing player talent.
Until he goes through a Spree-like epiphany and gets serious about winning, I struggle to see how a team would risk adding him. In a way, a passive roster dead weight like Fournier may be a better thing to have than an active cancer like Kyrie.

gradyandrew wrote:Good for Kyrie. This makes a lot of sense. Without Bird Rights he will be looking to sign a deal as a free agent meaning a limited market and limited money. These kinds of deals usually go down with the player agreeing to sign an extension.I really don't like people hating on Kyrie. He seems like a genuine human who cares about the little people. I was really impressed to see him signing jerseys at the end of the Knicks- Nets game. I think Ben Simmons is a nexus of bad karma. Who wouldn't want 40 million a year playing next to that guy?
I also think the Hachimura deal has some relationship. LAL would like to keep Rui but doing so kills their cap space.
This could also be a tactic to get Brooklyn to up their offer. Do you remember when Don Draper renegotiated his contract and how bad ass it was? Kyrie gives way more to charity than Don't so let's root for him getting the bag.
Kyrie heart is not questioned, its his misguided arrogance when he defends his ignorance.
I defend his right to speak his mind, protect his body, etc. But he also wants the money.
Thats where he gets into trouble. If being a pro basketball player infringes his definition of being a free man and his contract is too restricting he can work somewhere else.
I defend his right to not be vaccinated, but then you can’t get paid.
I defend his right to be antisemitic, but understand he won’t taken serious when you are promoting anti racist agenda.

Love UK. Guys arguing if Irving was the PG in Cleveland.
Hate for Irving's antics aside, Irving would make any team better. Especially our beloved NY Knicks.
Irving would clash most with JB. And create a back court that would struggle against big guards or heavy PnR.
Those saying his weird past would keep them from rooting need to remember Spree.
Regardless, there is no way the Nets will EVER trade with us.

What is we could also do a trade for OG Anunoby? That would give us a long wing. Our asL could look like
Brunson
Kyrie
OG
Randle Hart
Bench
IQ
Grimes
RJ
Sims
You would probably have to give up Mitch and maybe Obi in a OG trade. I’m not sure how RJ’s salary works with the poison pill in a trade. I think he counts as 23M. I’d rather keep Mitch in any OG deal if that’s possible but Toronto likely wants him over RJ anyway. They have to many forwards alreadyo

We actually garner sympathy for Kyrie because he defies the franchise? We like him because he can tell this boss to fuck off? Like Trump? He was antiestablishment, as is Kyrie.
Kyries rights were never violated. He choose to not conform.
Nalod can admire his basketball skills but I don’t want to deal with his issues if employed by the knicks.
Don’t know why anyone compared him to Simmons. Ben has issues for sure. If he did not have a big contract he’d be out of the league. Kyrie is a mega basketball star who used his has used his status to push his agenda. He does not want to confirm but he wants his money. Thing is when you sign on to the NBA you are expected to conform as it is in the business of selling tickets and promoting TV viewership. He has to play. Not sit. He choose this as his profession.
He is a sensitive man. Thats fine. If its too much then walk away and go play at the YMCA if you love the game.
Will others give him stipulations or is this just a ploy to get traded?
Personally I think Nets ownership has been patient with him. He shows no loyalty to his team or that his actions affect his teammates. On court he might be fine. But there is more to that.
SergioNYK wrote:I can't believe some of you are even entertaining this! Have some self respect! Kyrie is a team killer and the biggest clown in the league!
Because he is a superstar talent who can be had at bargain basement prices. You aren’t mortgaging your future in a Kyrie trade. If the price is to steep, walk away no problem

Yes they do if they play 20 years. Lebron has been a full time pg most of his career last couple years he’s become a PF because he has lost several steps and the league as a whole has gotten smaller

You have to explore the possibility as remote as it is. We can offer something as good or similar to the bucket of balls(Westbrook’s expiring contract) that the nets will be getting from the lakers
And I hate Kyrie and fully agree he is a team killing narcissist
