Delly allows waiters to do his thing...as irving is all about "him" never makes others better.

they are getting good value for their money

Seems other Cavs like him too.

Great to see him get what he deserves.

If somehow they can all work together, with the improvement in Delly and Waiters, then add the star quality of Irving, they would be hard to beat.

Obviously they can't all be on court at the same time, so not an easy one...

@170 I would take Irving over delly and waiters any day sorry.
Probably take Buddy Franklin and Brendan Fevola as well if you were into footy?

All of them are team wreckers who are concerned more about their own numbers than team success. You can keep have that type of player anytime - I'll take the team man and enjoy my championships while you brag about your guy winning MVP.

Irving is a team wrecker? wtf are you on

Irving is having a down year there is no doubt about that, his shooting and assists are down compared to his previous two seasons, but it was Dion who was causing drama early on in the season. The biggest cancer the team had was Bynum and getting rid of him helped the team alot.. not to mention GJ was utter crap early on and only recently has been playing decent ball.

You offer any team either Irving(this years MVP) or Dion/Delly and your a fool if you think anyone picks other then Irving

That's why the Cavs should offer Irving, get something good in return and keep actually winning.

"You offer any team either Irving(this years MVP) or Dion/Delly and your a fool if you think anyone picks other then Irving"

Yeah, but the NBA is star driven and GMs as well as most fans buy into the hype.

Irving is a very good scorer and number 1 draft pick but ask yourself, can you build a winning *team* around him?

It's no co-incidence that being forced to go with a less star-focused line up means players like Delly, Jack, Varejao, Waiters and Deng are becoming more of a well rounded unit and making a better 'team'.

Paul, I agree. They would appear to be giving up a lot and thus might be willing to get a team to take some cap space off them as well.

Personally I think they should trade Irving and Jack as a package deal; Jack is a good bench player but nowhere near worth what the Cavs offered him.

They need to re-sign Deng as a priority, start Delly as PG next season, and try to find a centre with some size that can at least fill the lane, alter shots, grab some boards.

Look at what GSW have done, by adding a big man in Bogut combined with a capable forward who can hit a long range jumper, a glue guy in Iggy and an excellent back court, they could win 50 games this year - not bad for being what, 3 seasons on from being a 30 win team? the Cavs would do well to follow that example and in the easier conference, they could potentially be conference semi finalists in 3 or 4 years.

You guys are forgetting that cleveland is the dumbest franchise in the league...

Why are you trying to bestow them with foresight? It's like projecting human intelligence onto an ape...

Irving was voted to start an all star game but has yet to lead his team to the playoffs. I think he's a good player but if I were the Cavs I would trade him and get something of value in return rather than let him walk as a free agent

If he walks as a free agent you get something very valuable in return, Team work and work ethic.

Guy gets all star MVP but his team improves without him - Says a lot

The problem isnt kyrie irving. You give any young superstar a coach that lets him walk all over them and you'll see a similar outcome. His head will inflate.

Brown should be gone next year. Bennett will be productive. Youll see a different on court product if management sorts their shit out.

If it was 1-on-1 street ball i'd pick Kyrie, but its not uncle drew time its the NBA, and having a player that wants to and knows how to make his team better is what Delly is all about.

Ok so we are trading Kyrie... But for whom?

It sounds like you are thinking of a centre but is there anyone out there desirable enough to trade for him?

From what I've seen LaMarcus Aldridge could be a good trade target for them
