Because he is an amazing basketball player?

If I'm the Nets....I'm looking at Minnesota. one for one swap: Irving for Russell. No picks

Both are expiring contracts and can use a fresh start.

Interesting thought but Mavs would have to waive the protection on the pick this year to get something legit done, and I assume the Knicks would agree to that.

Brock Aller would demand a second round pick from Mavs for the Knicks to acquiesce to that

At least. No reason for the Knicks to go easy here.

You're 100% correct.

"Leon Rose was inducted into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame"

Well.

There goes (and ends) the Kyrie Irving to New York dreams 🤣❌😅

The Knicks will not be able to handle him. It will become a massive s***show to eclipse the Marbury years.

The only place where they might set his brain straight is Miami between Riles, Spoelstra and Jimmy, but even that is doubtful.

As much as I despise Kyrie and would hate to see him here, he would give us a very legit scoring threat at the 2 similar to what Mitchell would have done.

But when has Kyrie Irving been a SG?

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.

Interesting, but remove RJ and insert OG and you may just need be onto some something.

It would also fix the 2nd unit

IQ
Grimes
RJ
Obi
Hart

Good balance of score Ny and defense.

Well I knew the answer so I was reaching for a bit of wise ass I suppose, but the point is sadly very serious. Besides being a knucklehead (and amazingly talented basketball player), Kyrie threw support to a grossly antisemitic organization on his social media. Don't think Leon buys into that, no matter how much he'd like a few more W's.

A November 9 email from the Anti-Defamation League to The Grayzone provided a twisted defense of Ukraine’s Azov Battalion. Despite its self-proclaimed “anti-hate” mission, the ADL insisted in the email it “does not” consider Azov as the “far right group it once was.”

I'm sure if the ADL can forgive the neo Nazi Azov battalion, they can make some room for Kyrie linking a movie.

I won't dissect your reasoning, but you can feel free to explain that to Leon : )

When has Donovan Mitchell been a 2?

Maybe I'm not understanding your question? What does Donovan Mitchell being a 2G have to do with Kyrie Irving being a PG?

To answer your question.

Donovan Mitchell has been a 2G literally 5 out of his 1st 6 years in the NBA (including this year of 2022-2023). 2020-2021 was the only year where he ran PG full time. And this year it's no different for Donovan Mitchell. Darius Garland is Cleveland's PG.

PS: Donovan Mitchell was also a SG in both High School and NCAA College and even sported #45 as a memory of Michael Jordan because of it (a 2G who he looked up to and idolized growing up).

When has Donovan Mitchell played 2G? His entire career Phil, his entire basketball life has been as a 2G.

We were about to trade half the roster and 5 first round picks for Mitchell to become a shooting guard. What is so different about Kyrie moving to the 2 guard full time?

Kyrie was essentially the off guard to Lebron's "one" during the Cleveland championship year. He also played off Harden last year.

Ofcourse. Lebron was the real pg when he and Kyrie were together in Cleveland

This isn't true.

Kyrie Irving led the entire team in Usage Rate Percentage (because he's the PG).

Yes it is. Did you watch the Finals? LeBron as PG fed Kyrie all day, who focused mainly on scoring.

Shouldnt surprise you, Lebron is a top 5 PG all time.
