Kyrie Irving has the city of Denver in a frenzy right now. What are the arguments for against the Nuggets trading for him?
My, how the NBA landscape has changed in just the last couple of seasons, Kyrie Irving wants out of Cleveland and the Denver Nuggets are a team in the midst of the competition for the star point guard.
Crazy to think two years ago, the Nuggets were barely even able to sniff playoff competition and now they have Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic to entice Kyrie.
While Kyrie Irving is a player who would make the Nuggets even more of a threat short term, there are still plenty of risks carried with trading for him.
On the other hand, we have seen how short term windows can be properly utilized to bring a title to a town soon in sports before, case in point, the Denver Broncos with Peyton Manning.
There are two sides to the argument and my co expert, Tom West, and I dissect them and give our best cases on why he believes Denver should pull the trigger and why I think Denver should proceed with caution and maybe be patient.
