I've been a Kyrie defender most of this year, but as time goes on and we hear more about the state of the Celtics locker room, in light of how he's handled himself this year, I'm not convinced it is going to be such a great thing if he sticks around long term.
I don't think the issue is that his play style isn't conducive to winning or anything like that. My feeling all along has been that if you have Kyrie on your team, what you want is a strong infrastructure in place, established leadership in a respected coach and veterans. That way you can basically just keep your team the way you want it, run your system on offense and defense, and just let Kyrie do his smooth assassin thing.
What you don't want is for Kyrie to be the centerpiece of your franchise on and off the court in the sense of setting the culture, getting all the media attention, etc.
I believed that the Celtics had the pieces in place to handle Kyrie the way he needs to be handled, to get the most out of the way he plays without having to rely on him for culture or leadership or allow him to take over the media focus.
After the way things have gone this year, I'm not so sure about that anymore.
