In Nico We Trust

I loved the trade down and the follow up Holmes trade. That was quality GMing, which we have not seen a lot of. But I am struggling with what the direction is. It does not seem like Kyrie and Lively are on the same timeline. Kyrie is a win now player, and Lively is a win later player. Do we really have enough assets to go both ways? If Holmes can play like he did a couple of years ago and start for us, then things make more sense, but I am skeptical that is the case. Right now Powell seems like the best bet to start at center and we still desperately need a starting 4. If we are going to take a couple of seasons to fill those holes, then I don't really understand what the point of Kyrie is?
