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.

    • Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.

    • That thread has all the huddle legends either posting in it or mentioned in it. I remember everyone of those folks and I truly miss seeing them post here. This place was so much better with them here.
