Kyrie/ Shumpert for Kemba/ MKG ?

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..

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.
