What Luka is going to care about the next time he has to make a decision is not only whether or not the team has been competitive in the years leading up to that decision, it will be even more about his opinion of their chances to be competitive moving into the future from that point in time.
Every time they do one of these deals, the future gets a little less bright. I like the two players they got a lot, I just don’t think they can afford to operate like this anymore. They really are starting to feel like Cleveland did the first time LeBron played there.
We're worrying about 1st round picks that are years down the line?
Look how easy we acquired a 1st rounder from OKC? If we want picks, we'll get picks. Lets be happy with the players we got.
We gave up nothing player wise to get two starter level players. We got rid of dead weight in Holmes, Williams, Curry. Look at the players we traded for as our 1st round picks. We just get the player a few years earlier. In Luka's prime, and in the last few years of Kyrie. We are going for it. And i love it.
