Question for REAL Cleveland fans

[JT123]

If the team had the chance to trade Kyrie for Westbrook would you guys be down for it? As I Lebron fan I would love it, as Westbrook is the more established player. I haven't watched Kyrie very much over his first few years, but does anyone think he can be better than Westbrook eventually?

[mattvNJ]

theres only like 2 real ones on this board. Good luck getting cavs fan answers

Cavs fan since 2001 here, but I'd trade the entire roster except LeBron for the chance at Westbrook :cheers:

Not a chance in hell.

Troll warning initiated.

[CavaliersFTW]

Eh, what do you gain? Better perimeter defense by virtue of Westbrook's superior athleticism? But you'd still have a score-first bias point guard at the end of the day, and from what I've seen Westbrook has a lower floor IQ and worse handle on the floor than Kyrie, so his superior length and athleticism wouldn't come for free. Both are equally competitive minded, you can tell both practice religiously and compete hard.

[Meticode]

No, for how good a player like Westbrook is, I feel he plays way out of control sometimes and hurts the team. He has that alpha killer mentality, but half the time it's un-needed when the ball should be going to Durant logically. Also what the Cavaliers need is three point shooting which Irving provides, Westbrook isn't as good at that.

in the end, I'm not saying Irving is better than Westbrook overall, because he's not. But I think Irving fits better on this team than Westbrook would.

You can bring defense into the argument, but that doesn't change my mind.

[RedBlackAttack]

First, being a fan of a team, you grow fond of players you've watched over a number of years. Player fans would not understand this phenomena.

Aside from that, with Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters on the roster, the Cavs have a potentially very bright future as well as an incredible present. Irving will be entering the same phase Westbrook is this season.... in over three years.

Westbrook turns 26 in the early part of the season. Kyrie will be 22 for most of the year.

Welcome back bro. :cheers: But try to cut back a little on the trolling. The Kobe stans have put a target on every Lebron fan's back, and will mass report us for anything that even slightly resembles trolling.

I just came off a ban yesterday, and now that I'm back Lebronxrings is locked up again. :(
I think that guy gets an unfair rap. He honestly doesn't even troll that much, especially compared to posters like 20four and PaulGeorge24. Makes no sense to me that Lebronxrings is constantly getting banned when those guys never do.

[DukeDelonte13]

I would not.

yea theres a whole bunch of trolls that arent lebron fans

20four with his personal insults, and that laker fan that likes talking about d*ck sizes and stuff smh :facepalm

BAnning us is like the government focusing on the war on drugs when there are more pressing matters like the ebola virus

[JT123]

So looks like the general consensus is no. I know that Westbrook makes a lot of dumb plays, but I feel like playing with Lebron would really help him improve in this area. Lebron is obsessed with efficiency, and that tended to rub off on his teammates in Miami. For all the talk about Wade's game supposedly getting worse, he had the 4 most efficient seasons of his career with Lebron as his teammate. I'm sure Lebron will have a similar effect on his new Cleveland teammates.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Westbrook + LeBron might me too redundant....Although the fast-breaks would be amazing.

LOOOL what


So I basically made a prediction, and because of said prediction, im a Heat fan?? :hammerhead: :hammerhead:

WHAT DOES MAKING A PREDICTION HAVE TO DO WITH BEING A FAN???

all i said is I thought Miami might win in 6 games, that it

your accusation is pretty lame

Mods I think he's trolling :facepalm

[qrich]

I'm not a Cleveland fan, but no, you do not do that deal, even if Westbrook is superior to Irving, in nearly every aspect of the game, but the one that is the most important next to Bron, which is shooting, at least, imo.

[RedBlackAttack]

I'm still curious to see how Kyrie and LeBron fit together, let alone Russell Westbrook who managed to accumulate a 34.4% usage rate while playing alongside the second best player in the NBA.

The one thing you absolutely need as a guard next to James is shooting and Kyrie has that in spades... Westbrook is a below average 3-point shooter. He's good from midrange, but the vast majority of those are pull-ups off the dribble.

They're just not a good offensive pairing aside from the sheer athleticism.


LeBron is going to have to adjust his game for he and Kyrie (and Dion Waiters, for that matter) to get the most out of one another.... but, at the very least, Kyrie is going to be a dead-eye shooter on those drive and kicks that he loves so much.

2013-14 Wade was playing on one leg half the time. Current Wade isn't on the same planet as current Westbrook. :no:

[GrapeApe]

Say what you want about Wade, but he became one of the best off-ball players in the league. I'm not sure Westbrook is capable of that and I think he would end up taking turns with LeBron, similar to what he currently does with Durant. I think Kyrie's shooting ability makes him a much better fit.

Wade is a better off ball player, but Westbrook is a much better all around player, so at this point I think him and Lebron taking turns would be better than Lebron and Wade working in unison. :confusedshrug:
The Heat almost won a Championship in 2011 with prime Wade and prime Lebron taking turns, so it's not impossible to win with that play style.

[TheMarkMadsen]

So is this what we get to look forward to for the season?

JT, Dubeta & his squad of dip shits creating threads on how Love & Kyrie aren't as good as so and so..

[All Net]

Wouldn't eo know can't imagine Westbrook being happy sharing with two others.

[El Gato Negro]

Not a chance Irving just willingly signed a max extension he can retire a cav as far as im concerned.

[dubeta]

imo lebron will probably bring out the best in westbrook

Right now, westbrook is immature and doesnt grow up since coaching staff and teammates are too scared to talk to him

LeBron will mentor him and turn westbrook into a beast

westbrook would probably average 26/6/4 under LeBron's guidance :applause: :bowdown:

[poido123]

Cavs and Irving look pretty rock solid man, I don't see them tinkering too much with what they have now as a core.

Winning will only help strengthen any issues.

Why do you keep talking about Westbrook?

Irving has just signed a 5 year contract? Good sign that he's in the longterm plan for the cavs.

I honestly don't know why you keep going on about it.
