Kyrie Irving made it seem like there is going to be a real battle for the starting point guard spot at training camp when asked about D’Angelo Russell.
That's an incredibly awful reporting job, because it doesn't give us enough context to offer any way to figure out what (if anything) Kyrie said to leave that impression.
Reading his article, I think Ky gave some general thoughts about how good everyone will be, how deep the team is, etc and it got spun into more than Ky is saying.
Not that it matters, of course -- Mavs will be figuring things out up and down the lineup on an ongoing basis. Who plays when is likely to be as much about fit as it is about who's the better player. And with Kyrie being injected into the mix sometime later, plus the potential for injuries, any answer on Day 1 won't be written in ink.
