Good point. The question is do we win a championship with Kyrie? That's the gamble.
I don't think so. How many teams won titles led by their best two players being 6'3" shoot first guards?
To get Kyrie this summer, we have to renounce Rubio, Thabo, Udoh and Niang. We also have to decline on Favors and maybe even Neto too. After that, it's very likely we still need to shed more if we pay him the max. After we sign Kyrie, we would have two exceptions to work with - $4.6 and $3.6. I just don't think we can fill the necessary depth. Crowder would have to start which makes every rotation a little thinner and weaker.
