Although Baron Davis is also good, but after all Given the age, it has been obvious that Davis is going downhill in recent seasons. As for Gibson and Sessions, they are backup point guards.Once Irving can go to the Cavaliers, he can immediately contribute to the team at the point guard position, and having Davis as Irving's mentor can also accelerate Irving's growth.

Judging from the scouts’ information on Irving, Irving’s personal singles ability is very strong, but as a point guard, his overall view can only be regarded as average.

The exchange, of course, compensated the Warriors $200 million.
