He wasn't brought in to be a real part of the team and the team kind of treated it that way. I think from the results we saw in the games Irving played he didn't really see himself as a part of the team either, and wasn't mentally into the games the same way he would be if he was really a part of the team.

Thanks for the explanation
How many games did he actually start.
And that last part about his play being impacted by not seeing himself as part of the team.........that is some weak sauce on Irving's part if true. Don't want a guy with that mental make up anywhere close to this team, let alone starting in between the pipes.
