You must be stoned. Just comparing stats alone: Rose last season 7.9 assists 3.1 turnovers per game. Irving this season 5.7 assists 3.7 turnovers per game. On the other hand Rose last season 31.2% 3PT, Irving this season 39.9% 3PT. Numbers usually don't lie, so where's the logic behind putting what appears to be the better SG at PG and the better PG at SG?

It would take a lot more than that trash to acquire Irving.

Irving is a franchise point guard.

Rubbish like John Wall may be easy to get though..

I'd take Irving as a PG and put Rose at SG imo

one problem then becomes who defends an opponents taller guard? Irving is listed at 6'3" and only 191 pounds, Rose at 6'3" 190. Aside from the fact there is no way Rose is that tall, who would guard Kobe (6'6"), etc inside?

That's exactly my thinking...

Two scoring small guards just doesnt cut it in the NBA especially when they are commanding around 35+ mins per game. Thats a lot of defensive mismatches. If two PG's were on the floor to change the tempo of the game then sure.. but not for the entire game.Remember Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry in Golden State? Just did not work especially when it comes to the PO.

Milwaukee Bucks arent doing so bad atm with Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings, but come playoffs they will struggle defensively, even with a blocking beast in Larry Sanders in the lane.

Cavs have a good thing going on atm. Young guys in Irving, Tristian Thompson and Dion Waiters to build on. Plenty of cap and support players in Maurice Speights, Verejao and CJ Miles? And most important, a good coach in Byron Scott. Remember New Orleans with CP3 and David West? Thats what the Cavs can become with Irving and Thompson developing into stars with Waiters becoming a Marcus Thornton type player. Add in a few first round picks like Darren Collison and its the old New Orleans team again LOL

John Wall will never be a great PG. He still hasn't developed a jumper and lacks the leadership skills of someone like Rondo.

He's just a supreme athlete, which is way overrated in the NBA.

He's pretty much Tyreke Evans without the size and handles.

Was reading Zach Lowe today and he said Memphisvare looking at Joe Ingles to fill a roster spot after the made their 3 for 1 deal with the Cavs today. Could be another Aussie headed to the NBA soon

Not way overrated, you cant teach a great basketballer to become a supreme athlete but you can teach a supreme athlete whos a good player to become a great player, although Javele McGee does make me wonder.

That would be interesting! What would the rotation look like with the Grizz though, they seem to have gotten rid of all there key bench players - only pondexter remains...

Darrell Arthur has been taking Speights minutes in teh last month so i guess that's why they felt comfortable moving him. Basically the bench is him, Poindexter, Bayless and then i guess who ever they add. Wroten might get a few more minutes as well and maybe Hadaddi gets some more burn as well.
