I feel sorry for Kyrie. This could be one of the best playmakers in the league, yet on Lebron's Cavs his role is to hand the ball over and go stand in the corner. This has just got to kill team chemistry.
I don't think Lebron can leave the Cavs without fullfilling the championship promise and the team will not win a championship unless they are willing to better remake the roster to revolve around him. Recognizing and fixing the problem is gonna take a long time. I doubt current team management can get it done. I see them caught in a downward spiral as Lebron just gets older and more tired looking. Kinda like Kobe I guess.
Irving's career high for assists is 6.1. He had 5.2 last year along with more ppg and better shooting percentages from everywhere. I'd say playing James hasn't affected Irving much at all (this year is all about the injuries, Irving has been pretty darn good the last 10 games or so and is starting to round into form).
