I low key hope they can swing a good SnT in the summer. There?s no way you can trust Kyrie who hasn?t done anything meaningful since 2016 who happened to have the greatest player of the last 20 years by his side.

Well it's not his scoring that has fallen off which is what he was best at anyway, he's averaged 27 ppg 3 of the last 4 seasons including this season and 26.9 the other one, those are his highest 4 scoring seasons. Automatic from the free throw line and good 3 point shooter, average assist player at about 5 a game. This is who he's always been and he hasn't dropped in production. Never was a good defender so nothing's change as far as him. May just be the team around him.
The Celtics definitely made him look bad and made it farther without him, the Nets has mostly been a mess they never had KD him and Harden healthy at the same time then they traded Harden for Ben which didn't help anything. 27 ppg is still pretty great from an individual standpoint though. But you're correct it never translated to team success really except with Lebron and Kevin Love.
