    Kyrie and love haven't given any indication that they could lead a team to the playoffs. Neither have done it as #1 options and neither can win without lebron on their team.

    The only thing kyrie can do at an above average rate is score. On a team that would hypothetically start TT, JR, and Korver, players who are dependent on others creating shots for them, kyrie would struggle. Not to mention the bench is full of similar players.

    I like KAT as a player but it's this simple.

    Given the option between having a great wing player or a great big man I'm choosing the great wing player.

    KAT is alot better than giannis was in his 2nd year, but i dont have any doubt that giannis's ceiling is higher than KAT's.

    If we're being honest KAT walked into the league being better than Giannis was in year 3. Jason Kidd has done a fantastic job with his development.

    Kyrie and Love were surrounded by trash when they were #1 options. You're severely overrating the Eastern Conference and what the Cavs have looked like without Lebron, the guy who plays 40 mins per game and their whole existence revolves around. If they started fresh with that core, its really not a stretch for them to be a .500 team. Kyrie is more then capable of being a facilitator if that's whats asked of him. Also not like that 13-14 Cavs team wasn't on the climb and that was with a Waiters/Kyrie/Deng (who missed half the year w/ injury) big 3.

    I didn't really knock Giannis, I said it was him and KAT as the elite young players in the game. KAT is the only player in NBA history with at least 2k points, 1K rebounds and 100 3's made, in his 2nd year. Giannis is the only player in history to finish top 20 in Points, assists, steals, rebounds and blocks.

    The national media is starting to realize how good the Bucks are and how good they are going to be.

    It's not about the eastern conference. I just don't believe in kyrie Irving. I think he's overrated and he looks better than what he is because Lebron and the coaching staff allows him to play to his only strength, which is scoring.

    The dynasty talk is a bit to far but they do have the 2nd best player in the EC and a ton of young talent.
