This is actually a fairly graceful time to do that, even if they get underwhelming value. If that underwhelming value comes in the form of 1-2 young, intriguing players, they would have basically reset the team’s timeline in one summer. There are worse directions they could choose than that one, from where I’m sitting.
I'd argue getting Reaves+Vando and then trading for Ayton is a better team long term and short term than just keeping Irving.
Luka/Hardy
Reaves/Green
MLE/OMP
Vando/Maxi
Ayton/Lively
Average team age: 21 excluding the MLE signing
Teams likely salary just above if Reaves signs for like 18 mil: 149,115,021
