is kyrie irving all hype?what kind of an impact will he make on the cavs in a long term period

when ever the season starts and Kid Kyrie gets going with his new teamamtes he’ll be fine…He’s the Cavs Pg for the next 4 to 10 years…I really think they should have drafted Brandon Knight and played him at Sg instead of reaching for Tristan Thompson(who i really like too)…Drafting both Kyrie and Brandon would have been looked at like a David Kaun draft day move but both Kyrie and Brandon could play together unlike Flynn and Rubio(who never palyed a game together anyway)…Knight would have at the very least been a nice trade chip for the Cavs, they really need some Scoring from this draft with Kyrie at Pg, maybe they get their Sf and Sg in the 2012 draft and through Free Agency/Trade…The Cavs made the smart pick at 1 and gambled a bit on the 4th pick…hoprfully for them Tristan becomes an Impact Player and not just a career role player

I still think the Cavs should have taken either Kyrie and Valanciunas or Derrick Williams and Knight. The first option gives Kyrie a free run for a year, with the Cavs likely drafting highly in the Drummond sweepstakes and Valanciunas joining in the 2012-2013 season. The latter gives them a go-to player in Williams who knows how to win to fill the void left by Lebron, and a very smart basketball player in Knight to build around with him. Knight is the equal of any PG in the 2012 draft IMO, so this would free them up to take a SG, PF or even a C if they get really lucky and have the 1st overall pick.

Going to have to respectfully disagree with you about Knight and Irving working together, that would have been a terrible idea unless they already had a draft-day trade worked out with another team.
