Random fact (not opinion):
the idea that trading for AD 40+ games into the season can be advertised as a „win now“ move is - sry - absolutely idiotic.
We talk about chemistry and continuity around here all the time when it comes to the nuances of building a championship team. You don’t throw that type of grenade into your locker room, change basically your entire offense in february and get to paint this as a move that helps you win immediately. Kyrie and Luka were a great fit but even those two needed some time together to figure out their roles. Growing pains are unavoidable under those circumstances.
There is not a single angle from where this trade makes sense. It’s already blowing up in their faces now with Davis getting injured (like he regularly does). We’ll be the AD New Orleans Pelicans soon. Some solid names on paper but ultimately outmatched in a brutal western conference.
And from 2027 to 2030 it will be even worse bc not even the tank will be able to give us any resemblance of hope.
Heck and by July Kyrie will have them backed into a corner. Without him this roster breaks down entirely. He’ll be able to demand everything from Harrison and Dumont during his contract negotiations. The moment he leaves there is no way for DAL to replace him.
