Reasons why Suns should make a move for Kyrie Irving




Kyrie Irving who is only 25 and coming off his best year yet averaging 25 Points and 6 assists has recently demanded a trade away from Cleveland Cavaliers. We as in Phoenix have been rumored in inquiring Irving. I have seen some fans say no because he's awful back court teammate for Devin Booker because lack of defense but ill tell you it's a 5 player game. I also find it funny that people dont want Irving because he plays no defense but dont want Andre Drummond because he doesn't do enough on offense. Anyway Irving is imo a top 15 NBA player and hasnt even reached his prime yet. Here's why we should trade for Kyrie.

1. Not to many stars come into the trade market.

Of course you have names rumored but how many except in 2017 actually get traded?

2. Helps our overall offense out.

Kyrie could be like James harden here. He's a great passer with amazing scoring ability with great options to pass to. He's not Brandon Knight because he actually makes his shot's Fg 45% 3pt 38% FT 87%

3. He draws attention to Phx

Kyrie is easily as popular as anybody in the league and him coming to Phx means people will keep tabs on us.

4. He fit's the team

I think Devin Booker will become pretty solid at defense and Josh Jackson was drafted because of his defensive versatility. I think Suns could try to bring back the fast paced offense we used with Nash(7sol) which we could be great at plus we would have a solid defense. I think Bender will start eventually and i also think so could Chriss if we dont add a Center. Personally i think Irving,Booker,Jackson,Bender,Chriss is a great starting 5 in a few years. We can run up the court,defend and shoot plus having 4 great passers in that lineup.

Kyrie is what Suns want in a few years to win he's 25 so when he's in his prime pour young guys will be ready to fight for the playoffs. Kyrie in my eyes is the Kobe Bryant version of Pg's. Kyrie was told according to Brian Windhorst he was going to get to run Cleveland how Nash ran Phoenix then Cavs signed Lebron. My point is Kyrie has been playing 2nd fiddle to LBJ sorta how Kobe played 2nd fiddle to Shaq. Kyrie wants to be the guy leading his team to playoffs not the guy riding the coat tails of another player.

Im not writing this post to convince you that we need Irving but im saying we shouldnt be negative about it. I dont know what Cleveland wants but if Booker,Jackson,Chriss,Bender are not included we need to hope on the trade asap.
