Honestly, I wouldn't give up much value for him. Adds almost no value to a teams W-L margin, is constantly injured, and is prone to be a locker room disruption
Smells like the Sacramento Kings! :cheers:

If Kyries game doesn't evolve he may be best as a 6th man and closer. He's not an efficient point guard he may b more of a Lou williams

His game hasn't evolved since he first came into the league.
His skills have been refined but he's still the exact same guy with the exact same mindset and the exact same skills... just slightly better than when he first came into the league... but not even that much better.
We've already seen peak Kyrie scenario that quite frankly will be unrealistic for him to repeat... second option on a championship team... I think you're right... he would probably be an elite 6th man. That's probably the best he could hope for at this point.
He's a cancer and his attitude is complete dog shit. He has absolutely no business being the leader of a team. If he is your leader, you are ****ed.
Basketball is a team sport, and as I like to repeat over and over, team dynamics are not something that can be easily measured.
I've been saying it for like 4 years and people have been telling me I'm pushing some agenda. Nope... I really just enjoy telling the truth about this guy because so many other people have used him to try to push their agendas.

Kyrie is the worst 2nd option champion in NBA history
Lebron... how
I’ve watched every single nets game and I can assure you it wasn’t Kyrie’s fault. We needed dang near every bucket he gave us. Here’s the reason for the win streak
1. Allen has FINALLY started to play like a man and not like a weakling
2. Dinwiddie’s timing was off at the beginning of the season now he’s back in step
3. Temple got acclimated and has been an asset the past 8-10 games
4. Atkinson finally adjusted rotations which are now much better
5. Shumpert and Nwaba have been absolute dogs on the 2nd unit
6. We began the good play by having 4 or 5 games in a row against the worst teams in the L.
Combine this together and that’s the reason for the winning

Here was the first 6 opponents when kyrie went out. We went 5-1 but look at the comp
Bulls
Indiana
Charlotte
Sacramento
Knicks
Cleveland
Only one of those teams made it to the playoffs last year and 4 of them was the worst teams in the league last season. Great 6 game stretch to build the confidence that you now see. Oh and by the way. All 3 of the games against Chi, Knicks, Cleveland was won in the closing seconds by 1 basket

Yes. I see it the same way as you. Thing is, no coach would have the clout to play him off the bench... maybe Doc Rivers. Not many others. Kyrie has all of this year to evolve into his team before the bomb that is Durant returns and destroys the structure again. It is the coach's job to get the pieces working.

There will be an adjustment when Kyrie comes back. When we started the season, there was a lot of iso ball, and since he's been out we've been playing more like a team with ball movement, fast pace transition opportunities, etc.
That said, I don't really attribute the success to sitting Kyrie. Caris has missed time too I don't really see anyone saying we're better without him.
What I mainly see is a revamped roster that has a lot of new pieces like Prince, Temple, Jordan, Shumpert and Nwaba who are getting a lot of minutes and took time to get comfortable. Even guys who were on the team last year like Pinson and Musa are getting way more minutes and needed to learn how to be effective. Once they fell into their roles, I think things started to get better.
Spencer's hasn't been amazing these last 10 or so games, but he was fumbling everything in the beginning. A lot of fans wanted us to trade him but those same fans are probably no where to be found right now. Kenny's offense is very free-flowing with very little set plays, I really think it takes time for people to adjust to it.

These Nets are easily more talented than the 14-16 Thunder where it was just Westbrook and a bunch of scrubs
Nets currently rank 8th in the league defensively and would probably of been top 5 if not for us being plagued with injuries. So already these Nets are the best defensive team KD has ever played on outside of the 17 Warriors
Then on offense you got Kyrie who is at least equal to 14-16 Russell Westbrook and then throw in Dinwiddie and LeVert who are EASILY better 3rd/4th options than the trash KD had to play with in his final years in OKC

I don't know about "stroll", the east is stronger now, but they would certainly be a contender. Dinwiddie and Lavert are legit. Harris is the type of player that always does well with Lebron. They have pretty good depth and youth.
Kyrie kind of throws a monkey wrench into everything though. KD might have been better off just going there without Kyrie.
