Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[BigDirk41]

I don't think you guys saw the screenshot I posted of Murray's leaked DM's with a fan where he complains about not being the primary playmaker, playing without rhythm, and relegated to a spot up position. None of that will be alleviated here. In fact I think it'd probably be worse.

Kyrie Irving is a better player right now than Murray, health issues aside. And the most underrated aspect is that he accepts his role as being the number 2 guy. That's hard to find in a guy with his talent level.

Is Kyrie the best most ideal fit? No. But he does fit. Like KL said, he fits better than KP and the vision is there. I'm not motivated trading Kyrie away unless it brings back a star of equal value that fits. Like Mikal Bridges, Lauri Markkannen, Donovan Mitchell. These type of dudes.

My argument to that is that he probably thinks he's a better player than Trey Young. He won't have any illusions of thinking he's better than Luka. Also 55-60 games of a guy that's a 90 rating for example isn't as good as a guy that's an 85, that will give us 75 or more games. Kyrie isn't getting us any of the players you mentioned.
