Sure along the road Irving might be top 5 PG, but Lowry will not be that much far off.
Why give up that potential when you're building to the future?
I don't see a viable case to do so unless you're convinced that Irving "won't" get better.
No I admit I gave up potential. Potential.
Lowry is and will be a near all star level PG in the next 3 years, that where Kyrie turns superstar, I get that. The team got better defensively, Lowry and MKG will shut wings down.
I got a pick this round to add more solid depth to the team.
I understand the team is no longer a TOTF candidate, but as of right now, Kyrie and Lowry are not that far apart. Kyrie is a better scorer, Lowry better defender. The team is still a nice fit, complete with shooters, inside prescense and defense is even better.
So you want to be a team that's outside the playoffs and has a lesser future?
Well, Barnes and MKG has great upside too don't they?
Sure they do but Irving wasn't going to hold them back, he would have helped their development.
And Lowry can't? Lowry is a very good playmaker and not ball dominant.
Its not like Lowlry will decline in the next three years.
All this backlash is because of potential and I admit I gave up potential to make my team better defensively and not that much of a drop off on offense.
I think Irving can be the best player on a contender if he develops. I don't think that about MKG/Barnes
Lowry can't be and has no chance of being that good.
MKG and Barnes potential is very high. And they compliment each other.
Going back to Lowry, sure he can't be as good as Kyrie in the future, but how about presently, aside from better scoring, Kyrie is not far off from
Kyle right now, and Lowry defends better, rebounds better.
Okay, since we arw talkig potential let me say this. You say Kyrie is a superstar potentially. Okay sure, but this team with Lowry and Bogut, MKG will be an elite defensive team potentially as well.
