5 best Kyrie Irving trade scenarios (Jazz mentioned)

Agree that Cy's list is pretty good.
Not sure who I would take off the list, but DeRozan and Porzingis belong in the top 30 somewhere...
Haywood probably ranked too high...if you ask anyone that isn't a Jazz (or now Celtics) fan, it's a pretty unanimous belief that PG13 is better than Haywood.

I would bump Lowry down and maybe bump Conley off. I think Derozan is better than Lowry and in the same level as Hayward and PG13.

I think Porz will be in the top 30 but isnt yet.
 
I don't usually play around with crazy Trade Machine ideas: but here goes one based on a few dubious assumptions (Jazz really want to acquire offensive star power and are willing to pay for it -- ie giving up depth; Cavs are happy to move on from Love even if Kyrie goes and think having Carmelo there will make it more likely for Lebron to stay; Knicks are willing to value flexibility, high ceiling/low floor over Ryan Anderson's contract):

Cavs
Out: Love, Irving, Jefferson, Felder
In: Anthony, Rubio, Joe Johnson, Hood, first-round pick

Knicks:
Out: Anthony
In: Favors, Exum, Jefferson, Bolomboy

Jazz:
Out: Favors, Joe Johnson, Hood, Exum, Rubio, Bolomboy, first-round pick
In: Love, Irving, Felder


Jazz:
Gobert/Udoh/Bradley
Love/Jerebko/
Ingles/Sefolosha/O'Neale
Mitchell/Burks
Irving/Neto/Felder

Cavs:
Thompson/Frye/Tavares
Anthony/Johnson/Green
James/Korver/Osman
Hood/Smith/Shumpert
Rubio/Rose/Calderon

Knicks:
Porzingis/Noah/O’Quinn
Favors/Hernangomez/Bolomboy
Kuzminskas/Thomas/Jefferson
Hardaway/Lee/Baker
Exum/Ntilinkina/Sessions

I want Love. No on Kyrie.
I'm going to say it first: within 2 years, Jazz are going to be happy they let Mitchell develop instead of having Kyrie take 20 shots/per.

And, I think Rubio is going to develop further under Quin. Hood is going to want too much to stay. He'll get some ridiculous offer Utah won't want to match. Jazz may lose Exum, too. But a Rubio/Mitchell starting tandem will be just fine.

DL needs to find a couple of forwards, though.
 
Cavs out: Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love
Cavs in: Melo, Favors, Joe Johnson, NY 1st, Jazz 1st

Utah Out: Favors, JJ, 1st Round pick
Utah in: Kevin Love

NY in: Kyrie Irving
NY out: Melo, 1st round pick

Agreed on all of it. I do think porz gonna rocket up the list within the next couple years. I would love to have him

That jazz roster looks pretty dope
 
I wouldn't trade Donovan for a 2 year Irving rental. Donovan will be here at least 7 years and he looked great so far. Probably the most excited rookie we've taken in a long while

A lot are still proposing a trade for Kyrie and pairing Kyrie and Mitchell in the back court. While that would be great, I'm saying Rubio/Mitchell is a better combo for the long-term future of the Jazz. Lets Mitchell get a lot of shots instead of leftovers if Utah had Kyrie. Also calling for a trade of Hood to make room for Mitchell as the starter at the 2 (and as a preventative step to get something for him - instead of declining to match a 4/$100m offer).
