Team Tank 2022-23

Getting and keeping Kyrie is a final move a team makes to put you over the top when you already have a really good overall roster. But this team is far from that (last year's WCF run was a fluke based on probably the best shooting performances that the 3 and D role players will ever have in their playoff careers).

So it's almost like you're trying to build around a Luka/Kyrie duo from scratch with limited resources for the other roster spots and that can be very dangerous. That's just on the court and not factoring in Kyrie turning into a locker room problem.

I have no problem with Kyrie and I love his game. If this roster and team were at a different place, I'd love to keep him. But this isn't the right situation anymore...if we have a chance to start over and get things right, we need to do it. But of course, a Luka/Kyrie duo has been Cuban's dream so he will do whatever it takes to keep Kyrie.

I think Jalen’s performance this year should put to rest that last year was a fluke. We had two of the best one on one guys currently along with Dinwiddie who can handle the ball some. Plus we had good team chemistry. We continue to overrate standstill shooters. If most GMs had Luka and Jalen they would take it and find some standstill shooters. 

Losing Jalen was a disaster that has only looked worse everyday since then.
