Him being 31 and a small guard on a huge contract for 3 years is a race against the clock. That trade gives us this roster:
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..
Luka/Kyrie/Green/Williams/Horford
Curry/Hardy/THJ/Maxi/Lively
With Holmes/Powell/OMax/Exum as insurance guys.
Looks deep to be able to cover for injury during the season and when we cut down to the 8 man rotation for the playoffs it looks like we have a punchers chance where you don’t put anything past Luka and Kyrie to take us there.
