I agree that's not a bad deal, for both teams. I would guess the Cavs would include Shumpert or someone on that level. Honestly as a Cavs fan I love Irving and I'll be forever grateful for his part on the championship but after seeing the last season it appears the "experiment" of this Big 3 is not really compatible. Lebron and Kyrie forced too many shots, too many isolation plays and while Kevin Love looked better this last season, he's lost out there. Plus you already have two liabilities in defense with Kyrie and Love. I thing the team needs a change, if they manage to get a couple of decent assets in exchange the Cavs could be stronger. That's not to say that Irving would be a great addition to other team of course.
I see it's a bad deal for San Antonio Spurs. Only Cleveland Cavaliers will benefit of that trade. Why? Aldridge and Mills both showing good performance and improvement last season and in playoffs. If based on performance level, I will pick Aldridge over Shumpert or anyone around that position on CAVS. About Kyrie, his gameplay is not suitable on how Kawhi Leonard is playing. Kyrie is more on isolation plays, very much different from Patty Mills.
We know Popo's system that ball must be rotate all the times if possible which is not the usual system of Irving on the CAVS. Unless this Hall of Famer coach can contained Irving to follow his system.
Good point made. I think Kyrie would have to make a lot of adjustment just to fit on the San Antonio game style. And I think giving up Aldridge will not be a good idea as well because he is one of the main core of the team. If Kyrie is going to move to San Antonio, he shouldn't be just a one man show and lessen his one of one plays. He needs to pass and rotate the ball. And I doubt that Kyrie would ever change his style of playing so its would be very difficult for coach Pop to really fit him in the system.
