What is this “assuming Kyrie is healthy” stick? He is healthy. He’s been healthy. What’s so hard to understand about that?

Hey, I have a confidence level similar to yours. I think he’s going to come back in camp and the regular season at at least 95% of pre-injury ability. However, there are all these folks here and elsewhere who say, “You gotta be crazy to think a thousand year old player coming back from having his legs ripped off is going to be just as good as he was.” Here I was more concerned about placating those folks than the other side.

Zero apologies for saying Kyrie’s a 50-60 games player. That’s who he is. If he plays 82 this year, fantastic, but it’s a felicitous anomaly if it happens.
