Terrible contract. Seemingly awful guy to play with. Older than Kyrie.

Oh yeah, and isn’t a better player than Kyrie. So no

Make that 28 saying no, still that 1 maybe and 1 yes?  Someone's CB license should be revoked.   :police:

I wish we could combine them into one player.

Wall is a significantly better passer and defender.

Kyrie is a significantly better / more efficient scorer and shooter.

Neither seems like a fantastic leader, as each has been a bit prickly with teammates at times.

I see the appeal for acquiring Wall.  With scorers like Hayward and Tatum, Kyrie's elite scoring is arguably less important than defense and having more of a facilitator.  But, if it's not broke, don't fix it at this point, unless a trade is clearly in our favor.
Irving is a better shooter but as I mentioned in the Lillard thread he only scores around 1.26 points per shot.  Wall is at 1.19 in large part because he gets to the line so much more frequently, which not only increases his scoring efficiency but helps put the other team in foul trouble.  Given Wall is a significantly better passer and defender, in a vacuum I'd rather have him as he is the better player.  However, this isn't a vacuum and given age and contract you stick with Irving.

Wall is not a better passer than Kyrie lol,Wall is only good at iso defense so they are about even in defense, also in playoffs it's the shooting not fouls you want, see Harden

Walls defense has been greatly overrated over the last 3 years. He gives half effort 90% of the time. Other 10% highlights that repetitive display make fans believe he is just that. And he isn't. His team peaked at 41-49 wins in the last 5 years. And that is just a tad better than an NBA purgatory.  He had a decent, but not great supporting cast, one of the best in the East. He couldn't beat us 2 years ago, in his peak.  Also, he is breaking down, he can't shoot and he thinks he is MJ. His contract is one of the scariest in the league and he is one injury away from being worse than Rozier. Also, he won't age well injuries/no range.

I'd take Kemba over Wall any day of the week.
And I'd take Kyrie over Kemba 8 days a week.
This trade proposal is beyond my comprehension.
And poll results confirm it.

100% agree. Wall is so severely overrated because he puts up empty numbers

Kyrie is a better scorer both volume and efficiency wise.

He is also more experienced and a better locker room presence.

To his credit though, Wall doesn't use the word appreciative.

Is Kyrie a strong positive locker room presence? He feuded with Dion Waiters, gave his teammates the silent treatment in the playoffs, threatened to sit out the season with an exaggerated injury if he wasn’t traded, he has allowed rumors about his departure to linger, etc.

I don’t see chemistry as being a strength for either Kyrie or Wall.

How many Trade idea Irving threads before the end of next June? I am banging my head against the Wall with each passing one!

In the playoffs and finals, there is nobody in the Eastern Conference I would rather have shoot the ball at the end of the game with everything on the line and his name does not contain the letter W in it.

In Cleveland he may have been a problem but management here in Boston and the young players here in Boston love him.

TP. In a village franchise such as Cavs are, it is no surprise they ticked Kyrie off. He has been lovely since day 1 in Boston.

If Kyrie has a problem with Cleveland then it's Cleveland's fault, period
