Kyrie Irving is 26 years old, still young, he is entering his prime, he is an NBA champion and knows what it takes to win one and he has the nuts to hit a last second shot in game 7 of the Finals to win the title. Kyrie is this team's best offensive weapon, by far. He appears to be showing great leadership to our young people that love him. And Stevens and Ainge love the guy.
In a year and years where this team may be coming out of the East for the next 4-6 years, you need Kyrie Irving. You don't need more young, playoff unproven, filled with potential but not showing what Kyrie already is players that won't all be able to get playing time. Trading Kyrie makes zero sense for Boston. Just none whatsoever.
