I'm very suspicious of a player who demands a trade away from an almost certain Finals contender to one of four franchises that aren't even close (although at least the Knicks play near where he grew up). Irving is a sensational talent even if he's an idiot. But I'm okay if the Nuggets don't want to trade away their team to acquire him--he would NOT want to re-sign here and a team of Kyrie, Millsap, Jokic and spare parts isn't any more likely to advance past the first round of the playoffs than the team the Nuggets currently have.
