I get what you’re saying, but playing with James makes your job a lot easier. Plus, Kyrie isn’t winning a ring without James (in Cleveland). He wins one in Boston and he’s solidifying his legacy.
I do think Davis may join James in LA and I think they could coexist.
Full disclosure: I’m a Lakers fan!
That was kind of my point earlier when I said Kyrie couldn’t get away quick enough. Some guys are alright being The sidekick and some want more. Kyrie is a guy that wants to be what James is. Nothing wrong with that. Irving has given James his due for what he’s learned from him.
If the Celtics win a title with Kyrie at the lead, his legacy will be what he wanted and exactly why he wanted to split from James.
It’ll be interesting what happens with AD. So many think Boston and LA with the latter being the hot team at the moment. I’ve always thought Danny Ainge is sending out smoke screens with regards to interest in AD and truly wants to make another run at Durant. Kyrie, Tatum and KD are pretty tight as well. Should be another fun summer in the NBA.
