Who Will Be The Best POINT GUARD In The Next 5-10 Years?

[Nathan_OS]

Havent even had the chance yet. I think they have an opportunity to build the team this time, Tristan and Kyrie are a good start. They'll have some high draft picks over the next few years, and plenty of cap space to boot.

I hope so.

Back to original topic tho, Kyle Lowry can Definitely be a beast in the future. He's having a pretty good year right now.

I just don't feel as if Cleveland is able to put together a good team. Put the tools that Kyrie needs around him to win in Cleveland

I feel like they're not going to make that mistake twice.

How did they make the mistake before? Obviously LeBron had the tools around him to win, they won SIXTY SEVEN games in one season.

It was tough to rebuild and add talent when we had James. Paxson traded picks away for players who didnt produce as well as draft players who didnt produce, and did not resign Boozer. We had a top 10 pick in 04, used it on Luke Jackson. Josh Smith, Al Jefferson and Kevin Martin all were drafted after him, all of which could of helped.

When Ferry he was here, did a solid job of building a team despite lack of assets. 05 free agency would of helped, Allen and Redd resigning with their teams didnt really help our cause. But Ferry worked magic with some of the trades he made. Getting Mo for Damon Jones and Joe Smith, getting Delonte and Big Ben, and then the Jamison move. We had championship caliber teams, just couldnt get over the hump.

Look at our team now, we're off to a good start with Kyrie, Thompson, and Gee. We have a lot of cap space, and we have a decent amount of picks over the next few years. 2 picks in this years and next years draft, 2012 NOH 2nd round pick, and the Kings pick that is lottery protected.

If we could hit on a few of those draft picks and get solid players in free agency(not stars, role players), we have a good chance of building another championship contender.

Kyrie has shown this season he can score and make plays for others, we just need better players. Hopefully the draft gets us that.

They Just drafted him, but you can already see him not staying in Cleveland?

Give it a couple years 1st. They have a bunch of DP's the next three years. Geez..

Mike Brown was the reason those teams never won anything.

Im not gonna blame things on MB, he was a great coach for us. His only weaknesses were not making in game adjustments and not playing younger players. Too many things happened during those playoff runs. We dont make it to the finals in 07 without MB coaching the defense, especially with who we had. In 08, we played a great series against BOS(their toughest opponent IMO), but PP outplayed James and Wally Z decided to miss open shots in a series clinching game. In 09, we didnt matchup well with ORL and their 3 point shooting was unbelievable. Mo played horribly against ORL and we couldnt stop Dwight. Big Ben was needed that series, his injury limited him though. Im not even going to talk about the 2010 playoffs.

I don't think think he'll stay in Cleveland.

...Yeah, not like we don't have 5 first round picks in the next 3 drafts...

Also, not like we didn't have the best team in the league for two years. We were a little too good at building a team around a player, if you ask me. The point this time around is to build a team WITH Kyrie, not AROUND Kyrie.

The way it's going, I'm having a hard time believing it won't still be Steve Nash lol.

Re: Who Will Be The Best POINT GUARD In The Next 5-10 Years?

Nash had his time. He had a great run. But there is new blood. This is probably the best era for point guards since the 80's when you had Magic, Isiah, young Stockton and Dennis Johnson.

If Rondo could develop a jumpshot, dude could be really, really good

[Drewski]

Eh Rondo is really really good already. A jumpshot would make him deadly, top 3.

Rondo is definitely a great PG. Definitely a top 4 PG, right behind Rose, Paul and Williams...and yes, he's better than Westbrook. For him to put up the numbers he puts up without a consistent jumpshot is staggering.

However, I just can't justify him being a franchise player. Until he gets that consistent jumpshot, he'll always to me be a VERY GOOD player but not a franchise player.
