I too dislike the idea of committing so soon to this core group. But how is Payton to look for that "big money" if he's the PG that "can't shoot" and "doesn't work in today's NBA?" Vogel bidding against himself?
Not that I see any of this happening, but...
I'm all for two years of Irving if both Gordon and Isaac stay.
Any outgoing picks in the '20 and later drafts must be well protected.
... and that probably won't get it done for Kyrie.
