Him starting and playing 30 mpg last year on a 57-25 record team playing 63 games tells me he is fine for 25-28 mpg with Lively and Powell backing him up. His contract ends after 2 years where he’ll most likely retire which is just in time for us to know if Lively is the right guy. He is plus value.
GWill would also be good to start with Maxi and OMax backing him up (until OMax surpasses him amirite Cow?). I think he is a plus.
Getting off of McGee’s contract is a plus.
Not seeing Powell and Bullock start is a huge plus.
Plenty of value for the 27 FRP.
Just my opinion though as I can respect yours.
If the goal was to maximize our odds of a championship this coming season, I think this trade would be wise.
I believe we're a couple of years away though so I'd rather hold onto the 2027 first. As you said though, I respect your opinion as well.
I have finally accepted that Grant Williams is the best we can do with our MLE so I'm hopeful that he's a Maverick on 7/07.
I think this upcoming season will be fun even if Dwight Powell starts again. Kyrie and Luka are amazing to watch and it will be nice to have young talent with potential for the first time in years.
I think the trade market may be more favorable in January or February once a few teams have decided to give up on the season and sell off their winning players..
