Actually, KG Ray and Paul originated the Big 3 concept of superstars colluding to join forces and pursue a championship. They were the first Big 3 before LeBron made his decision

did Piece and KG meet with each other to join forces? did they call Ray too? told him to force a trade for the 5th pick?

They were already old and past their prime datznasty so it is a difference, the Heat were in their prime for the most part.

It's not his skillset or talent that's the problem, it's his mentality. When you watch him play, he doesn't seem to have a good grasp of how to get his teammates involved. He fuels himself by scoring first, and playmaking second. Basically he has that Nick Young/JR Smith mentality (obviously far more talented) where he predicates his game on scoring, he fuels his personal confidence by getting buckets
Irving played the 2 in high school, he still has that pure scoring mentality which would be great if he were a 6'6 SG, but not so much when you're a PG and are tasked with initiating offense for your teammates. What ends up happening a lot of times, is his teammates are just standing around watching him dribble instead of being involved in the play
I don't know about plugging him in to any elite team. He can score, but he doesn't bring any other intangibles that usually put elite teams over the top. CP3, Westbrook, Mike Conley, Tony Parker, Wall, Kyle Lowry, and others are actually better than their boxscore stats, because of the intangibles they bring in other areas. Irving is one of those players who is worse than his stats, he's not efficient and gets a lot of his numbers at the expense of team basketball. So it's hard to really say "Oh Irving is averaging 22/6, you can just plug him in for so and so on this other team and they'd be fine" because you're not considering what you are losing in other areas.
Of course if he had Durant, Griffin, etc they'd be a good team but Kyrie isn't the ideal PG imo

Because ray Allen made sure he got traded to Boston and Boston only. Stop trying to compare the 2 their not the same. KG is the only person who made a decision to go somewhere

Eh, Ray had no choice in joining the Celtics and KG had to be convinced by Chauncey Billups to join the Celtics.

I went to check to see if the Bucks still had their amnesty provision...cause they need to get OJ Mayo out of town pronto...and was surprised to see that they used it on Drew Gooden. I was even more surprised to see that they signed him to a 5 year, $32 million deal in 2010

Unfortunately, even if they had their amnesty, they couldn't use it on OJ. The player had to signed prior to the new CBA in order to qualify.

Forgot about that. Sucks for them and Detroit.
Also, just read that these are the squads that still have their amnesty:
Atlanta
Boston
Chicago
Memphis
OKC
San Antonio
I think the most obvious next amnesty is Carlos Boozer. Kendrick Perkins SHOULD have been gone.
