What if the trade that would've sent Kyrie Irving to the Phoenix Suns went through? #short

Hey everyone! My name is Steven, and I'm currently running my Instagram page called WINTOfficial (What If's? NBA Takes). The page is curated on What if situations around the NBA and I proceed to give my 2¢ on it. I post daily and accept fan requests through my DM's! Be sure to check the links below and let me you know what you think! What if the trade that would've sent Kyrie Irving to the Phoenix Suns went through? My 2¢ deposit believes that Kyrie would've actually been worse for the Phoenix Suns long term. During the 2017 NBA offseason, Kyrie Irving had requested a trade out of Cleveland. Their 2016 championship run had completed basically LeBron's journey, and supposedly Kyries. • ꜰᴏʟʟᴏᴡ ꜰᴏʀ ᴅᴀɪʟʏ “ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪꜰ” ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇɴᴛ • The Cleveland Cavaliers almost pulled a 3 team trade, that would've landed them Paul George and Eric Bledsoe. The trade consisted of Channing Frye heading to the Suns with Kyrie, Pacers would've received Jared Dudley, Iman Shumpert, and the 4th pick in the upcoming draft which was eventually Josh Jackson. The only issue was that Phoenix did not want to give up the 4th pick. That was the sole reason why this trade did not go through. Imagine giving up Josh Jackson and Jared Dudley for Kyrie Irving and Channing Frye. This would've paired Kyrie and Devin Booker together, and that's the reason why I think Kyrie would not fit in Phoenix's long term plan. At the time, the Suns we're not a great team by any means. They lacked depth, and at the time Devin Booker was not enough to make people want to play in Phoenix. Adding Kyrie would've most likely meant that they miss out on DeAndre Ayton, which they needed very badly to help Booker. Kyrie would've left to Brooklyn still, and they would've been in the dirt without DeAndre Ayton. Booker might've asked for an out as well, which would've lead to CP3 never joining the team. So what if the Cavaliers did send Kyrie to Phoenix? Would he have made a difference in their team? Share your thoughts so we can get a discussion going!
