To me, thats what made draft night so special.
You could go either way with the moves they made.
We got really young, athletic, defensive-minded guys. They can slowly integrate into the rotation if we go the Kyrie route.
We lose Kyrie and then O-Max, Lively, Hardy, and Green get more minutes and this becomes a soft rebuild. You get more assets for Kyrie in a SnT, and also get what you can for THJ, Holmes, Bullock, Maxi, McGee.
Its still the same core going forward with or without Kyrie. Having Kyrie forces us to keep a few more veterans around to ease the youngsters in this year.
