I am not sure on any big trades now. I would like to see this team healthy to get a better idea of their upside. I think this team probably falls in between 5 and 9 in the West. I good move may move them in the top 4. I am just not sure if that move is available now. I would say the rest of the season are really important to several guys. Grant Williams, Josh Green, Jaden Hardy stand out to me.
One more thing, I saw a tweet that Cato said on a podcast the Mavs thought Kyrie wouldn't be out this long. His availability was always a huge question mark. Not all the other stuff that made him miss games, but he tends to have a lot of injuries. Compared to Jalen who is always available, Kyrie misses games. I just have a fear that eventually this team will be really good and Kyrie will then get hurt and miss 12 games. For that reason, I think it is really important to have Kyrie insurance for when he misses games. The alternative can't be that we need Luka to play 43 minutes a night.
