Thoughts on this?

I'd take it immediately. But highly doubt it could be pulled off.

Nope.

taking on Kyrie and Shump for MKG and Kemba does nothing really.. Kyrie's D is subpar to Kemba's and even though we all get down on MKG for his scoring problems - he still averaged +2 more pts than Shump did in Cleveland.. I think it is a wash - but we lose our Franchise PG for one that will probably jump ship as soon as he can..

 

Also, before LeBron went back - Irving never lead the squad to the playoffs.. Kemba has been THE guy for 2 playoff runs so far..

Don't get the obsession with Kyrie

Heard or read that someone said - "He thinks he's Kobe but he's more like Marbury."

Kyrie is certainly a good scoring PG but so is Kemba.  No thanks.

I love Kemba to death, but he isn't quite on Kyrie's level. Shump and MKG are close enough talent wise. I feel like you have to do it if it's actually an option.

I would take that trade in a heartbeat.  I think Kyrie can average 30+ as the man on a team, plus he's only 25 years old compared to Kemba which is 28.

No chance the Cavs do it. Kyrie is significantly better than Kemba and Shumpert has more value than MKG. Can't see the Cavs moving Kyrie within the East anyway.

Iman Shumpert is God-awful

He is so bad, I'd rather have MKG

Imo, Kyrie is the best and most dangerous PG in the NBA right now. 

Not even KalilBrothersFan or 22Mccaffery believes that

Kyrie is the best PG at finishing at the rim..

best Overall

Kyrie is a great player but in my opinion, he's not an impact player. 

Without LeBron, the Irving lead Cav team is 78-152. Sure he was a part of some shitty teams but if we're going to sell the farm we need to be getting much better and I don't think Irving and Shumpert make us much better. One thing it would do is make us downright terrible on defense.

Not to mention, Irving can't stay healthy. He hasn't played a full season in the NBA to date and has missed 111 games in six seasons averaging 18.5 missed games per year. In comparison, Kemba has only missed 49 games in his six seasons in the NBA (8.2 per year average). Those 18 games would obviously have huge implications on the Hornets chances for a playoff birth.

I don't get the obsession with him or Kemba. Neither are that great
