I was watching ESPN this morning and they said something interesting. Is Book a better fit for Durant than Kyrie was?
But also...for the ISH community, who do you think is the better player between these 2?

Booker is better because there is no random bs getting in the way. Seemed like every year Irving had sin me problem that kept him from playing. I respect that he had his opinions and there are legit reasons to not want to take the vaccine but if I'm running a team I want a guy that is just going to do what it takes to play and wants to play more than anything. Booker is that kind of guy. Irving is not.
Now you ignore that Irving let off court stuff ruin his time with the Nets and Booker still might be better but it's close. They do a lot of the same things. In theory Irving is a real point guard and that may be a more valuable thing but the way Irving plays is like a scoring guards with a slick handle. Neither guy is a shut down defender.
So overall give me Booker easily. No off court crap taking him away from the team.

Neither is an ideal fit based on playstyle. Booker fits better because hes a better player

That's always going to be a stupid argument when we are talking about a ring won playing beside one of the greatest players of all time. No one is saying Irving can't play, he's a spectacular offensive talent. But the fact that he has left his team without telling any of his teammates or bosses for two weeks because it was his sister's birthday is a whole other level of bullshit. The fact that you a a Net fan still defend him is a joke. You're like a domestic violence victim crying with a broken arm that won't leave your abuser because you think he loves you. No player in NBA history has ever been paid so much money to completely **** up a franchise.

LeBron and Booker would result in 5 rings.

All Booker has to do is win a second playoffs series with Durant and not break up Durant/Booker duo too early and he's automatically better than Durant/Kyrie duo.

I think the fit with Durant is kind of irrelevant. I think most people would rather have Booker because he is a better player and isn't nuts.

I'd take anyone over Kyrie except maybe Harden

Kyrie has more talent but isn't as plugged in to the matrix. Booker has 90% of his talent and is a Kardashian type aka fully plugged in to his pod. So in this simulation Book is the superior player.

You think Rudy Gobert is elite offensively, your opinion is irrelevant

They didn’t get enough games but last year Kyrie and KD had Brooklyn cooking.

You know what my answer to this question is. The answer is obvious enough that the question really wasn't worth asking. It's not informative or even funny.
