 It's definitely not news to most people to know that Kyrie Irving demanded a trade a very long time ago But what is news to a lot of people is that for me personally if Kyrie Irving is traded before the start of the season And he is traded during the start of the season whenever he is traded I think he will ruin the NBA not in the same way that Kevin Durant ruined the NBA and it's not anything against Kyrie Irving, which is something I want to state personally because Kevin Durant, it was something that he did which ruined the NBA for me and for a lot of people Kyrie Irving won't ruin the NBA by the move that he decided to make It's the fact that the NBA that we are watching and the NBA that we're consumed by is really in a weird stage at the moment I want to touch on the subject of conferences I want to touch on the subject of players and how good they really are in terms of star players Superstar players and all-star level players, which is something that we'll get into in this video But before I start I just want to say that Kyrie Irving most realistically if he were to be traded I think Cleveland would have to look for a young guy to actually get in return for Kyrie Irving But the fact is if you have LeBron James on your team, you're going to want to compete for a championship I mean he is the best player in the NBA Despite not winning the MVP the last couple of years LeBron James if you have him on your team You know that every year he's gonna compete 100% put his body on the line and go and try and win an NBA championship It's simple as that LeBron James. He is that good So if you've got LeBron on your team you're gonna want to compete for a championship So I think there are two realistic teams that Kyrie Irving could be traded to to match both What the Cleveland Cavaliers should do in the future and what they should do now with LeBron James on the team And I think if you're the Cleveland Cavaliers You want to get young players to build around for the future if LeBron James leaves and then if you have LeBron James Which they do you also want to get a star superstar or all-star player in return Which is something I want to touch on as well. So if you're Phoenix I think you're gonna have a very good shot to get a trade down and try and get Kyrie Irving I don't think you're gonna have to give up Devon Booker or you're gonna have to give up Josh Jackson but I do think Eric Bledsoe as that all-star player You're gonna have to give up definitely and then it really comes down to if they want to give up a pick or if they Want to give up a young guy like Marky's Chris or TJ Warren But if I'm Cleveland, I'm definitely just gonna try and go after Josh Jackson or Devon Booker There is probably a zero percent chance that they're gonna get those guys But you might as well try in saying that Miami is also another team that could go after Kyrie Irving Simply for the fact that they can give up someone like Gorin Dracic who is that all-star level player He's not an all-star, but he's that type of player that you can fill in for Kyrie Irving as a replacement He's definitely not a replacement for Kyrie Irving, but you know what I mean He can play that suitable starting position for the Cleveland Cavaliers And then you can also throw in a young place that the Cleveland Cavaliers can build on if LeBron James does decide to leave Maybe Justice Winslow or Josh Richardson someone like that Tyler Johnson There's a lot of young players that Miami could give up the thing is though If he were traded to Phoenix who is in the Western Conference to me It's it just ruins the NBA Not because of the move by Kyrie Irving or the demand for a trade because I do understand why he does want to leave He wants to be the main guy. I do I don't agree with that point of view by him But if I'm Kyrie Irving, I might I might have a different mindset because he's in the NBA and I'm not so I'm not gonna say why Kyrie Irving demanded a trade. I will understand why at times I don't understand why but that's just for him to decide he demanded a trade That's his call But if he does go to the Western Conference the amount of players that have gone to the Western Conference is just Unbelievable this offseason alone if Kyrie Irving does go then you've got him You've got Jimmy Butler Paul Mills out Paul George, which is insane That's four star players or all-star level players that have gone to the Western Conference Making the Eastern Conference even worse not to mention Camilo Anthony He may even join the Houston Rockets, maybe not by the start of the year But maybe at the trade deadline or somewhere through the year he may join the Houston Rockets Which is the main destination that a lot of people think Camilo Anthony will join So for me when you look at the Eastern Conference, who are your star players? You've got LeBron James, Yannis, John Wall who I think are three star players And for those that don't know there needs to be a real Defined line on who star players are in the NBA and a very very long time ago I watched a Dom2k video and he talked about what a star plays what are all-star plays and what a super star plays I'll leave a link to that video in the description box down below if I can find it But that really got me thinking because when you look at the Eastern Conference right now I think you really only have three star players. You've got LeBron James, Yannis, and John Wall Then you've got your Kind of all-star level players when you've got Demarda Rosen, Ky Larry, Isaiah Thomas Who there's gonna be a lot of people that say Isaiah is a star There's gonna be a lot of people that say Isaiah is an all-star to me personally I love Isaiah, but I just don't think he's as good on that level as LeBron, Yannis, and John Wall But in saying that he has shown that he can match up with John Wall at times So that's where it comes into play. It just depends on who you preference as that star player But even then you've got Gordon Hayward I don't think as a star I think if you put him on the Western Conference like last year He's not one of those top-level players. Same with Isaiah Thomas If you had him in the Western Conference, would he really be that star player? And that's where it comes into play as well Then you've got our Hallford and those kind of players they're all-star level players But if that's who you have as your top players in the Eastern Conference Something needs to change because not only does it make the NBA worse, but a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers They won't be competing for a championship without car re-erving in my opinion I mean they might make it to the NBA finals But when you've got the NBA finals like last year with car re-erving and then you transition to this year without car re-erving But the exact same Golden State Warriors team who even possibly got better this off-season Then you're looking at a little bit of a possibly a sweep in my opinion I think the Warriors can possibly sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers if it's exactly the same as last year But without car re-erving and a Golden State team who got even better So with that being said if car re-erving does leave the Cleveland Cavaliers It will ruin the NBA because we know that the Boston Celtics have a very strong team Isaiah Thomas Gordon Hayward our Hallford three all-star players Possibly in the Eastern Conference Then you've got Demarda Rosen and Kyle Larry two all-star players on the same team Then you have LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers who LeBron will lead a Cleveland Cavaliers team But he doesn't have that sidekick anymore of car re-erving and that Leads Kevin Love to have to step up and we don't even know if he can do it But he has shown he can do it in Minnesota So he may be able to do it now that car re-erving may be gone But overall I think if car re-erving does leave the Cleveland Cavaliers It will ruin the NBA because the Eastern Conference has got so much worse the Western Conference has got so much better We know who's gonna make it in the Western Conference most likely it's gonna be the Warriors in the Eastern Conference We don't really know who's gonna make it, but it doesn't matter because if car re-erving leaves I just think that we know who's gonna win the NBA championship if car re-erving stays I do think Cleveland still has that chance to win the NBA championship The only other way I can see this not ruining the NBA for me this season if car re-erving does get traded for a player Of his level someone like maybe an Isaiah Thomas from Boston, but even that is just so so unrealistic It's not unrealistic in the sense of the chance of it happening is unrealistic It's unrealistic in the chance that the Celtics have built this team that they may not want to just Dissolve by getting rid of Isaiah Thomas and getting car re-erving despite who's the better player So for me I just can't see this NBA season being an enjoyable season for me to watch There are games that are gonna be insane But most of those games are gonna be in the Western Conference and most of them aren't gonna be in the Eastern Conference apart from maybe even like Boston vs Cleveland They're the two best teams in the Eastern Conference and if the Cleveland Cavaliers don't have car re-erving and replace him with maybe Goran, Dragico, Eric Bledsoe for me It just doesn't seem that exciting for me to watch But let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section and with that being said I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you guys did it'd be awesome If you guys could leave a like and subscribe to the channel for more videos just like this one also new merchandise is coming out soon So it's looking really really exciting.
