    I would as well, not sure I'd wanna include Jackson in the deal though. Maybe Bled & 2 future picks, or 1 pick and 1 of Chriss/Bender/Warren.

    the Cavs are built more to help Lebron than Kyrie tho, that doesn't excuse all of it but I don't think the role players on the team compliment Kyrie enough for the team to succeed

    Okc was built for KD + Westbrook and they still managed to go > .500 when KD sat/left

    The Rockets in 2015 I believe we're built around Dwight and Harden. This was the year after Dwight dropped 17 & 12. He missed close to half the games and Harden still managed a top 4 playoff seed.

    Derozen lost Lowry and still was above 500

    Kyrie has at worst a playoff contending roster w/o Lebron and he can't win with that.

    I saw a video where they compared Kyrie more to AI rather than Kobe, im not saying he's either, but they broke down how AI's 76ers worked. AI had another guard that could distribute better, Eric Snow and great defensive players who were decent enough on offense.

    I think if Kyrie led a team like this he could really shine.

    Maybe but I don't think he could be the best player on a contender like AI was.

    AI benefited from playing in the weakest era of NBA basketball in the modern era.
    To be a contender you really only needed one all-NBA caliber player.

    The Knicks were the 4th seed the year the sixers went to the playoffs and they were led by Sprewell, Houston & Camby. The Heat were the #3 seed and they were led by 34-year-olds Anthony Mason and Tim Hardaway.

    Today you need at least 1 true superstar and either a bunch of really good players or 2-3 other tier 2 or tier 3 players. I see Kyrie more as a tier 3 player so I don't see him being a viable leader on a team.

    Yea I'd take that one year of MVP Rose over prime Nash too, probably, but the point was still career wise, he's the worst to win an MVP.
