5 best Kyrie Irving trade scenarios (Jazz mentioned)

[Ron Mexico]

Definitely not a top 10 player. He received even fewer votes than Hayward did in the All-NBA voting, and Hayward wasn't even close.

I definitely dont think he is a top 10 player but I also dont think that is a good indicator. They play different positions and are only being compared to players at their position.

He is a pretty elite player that was a leading scorer in the playoffs for a team that won a championship last year and has outplayed the best PG in the NBA Curry three years in a row in the finals.

Im on the fence whether I would want us to trade for him or not. I really like our current team but he could make us really good. I think he is a better player than Hayward and 2 years younger. I am concerned he would leave after 2 years and I am not sure how he will fit or if he will be better than the players we would have to give up. I also think one of Rubio, Exum or Mitchell might end up being a better PG for our team in the future as well. The only trade I would consider would have to be Hood and JJ for him or maybe Rubio and one other player. I guess a 1st round pick as well. But I doubt they go for that.

Are you serious? or being sarcastic? I really can't tell. Because he is obviously a top 20 player. Probably more like a top 10 player.

Serious. I see him in the 18-25 range. No way is he top 10 IMO.

I would say in the 20-25 range, and thats being me being kind. Probably more like 25-30

So I guess I would put Irving at 22.

I would put him 13 on this list. No way Wall is better than Irving.

Yeah he is. Defense matters, right?

I'd put Paul George above Wall, then Irving right behind Wall, precisely because of defense.

Wall is absolutely better than Irving. Don't get me wrong Kyrie is an elite scorer and I would love to have him on this team, but between his lack of defense, poor team play, and attitude I just don't think we should trade away guys like Mitchell for him.

Plus the guy is a flat-earther for hell's sake!

Kyrie on the Jazz would be fun. Until he split for one of his preferred teams and we would have to watch Donovan Mitchell be D-Wade 2.0 over in Cleveland.

I like your top 9 (though I would have AD at 5 or 6), I think after that top 9 (the cream of the NBA imo) 10-17 are totally interchangeable to a certain extent (I think Irving belongs somewhere in that 10-17 range), then 18-23 is another tier of interchangeable guys, then the rest .

Good list overall. Well done

Yeah, I think ranking players is almost impossible its much easier to put them in tiers. I put Lillard in the same tier as those maybe even 10 to 23.
