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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
