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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
