It makes a lot more sense to only cash in AD and Klay, in case Flagg is that dude. We were in the NBA finals with Luka, Kyrie, Jones, Washington, Lively. 

Now don´t get me wrong Lavine, Christie, Russell and DeRozan are nowhere near Luka, but in combination with an improving Flagg (and two lottery picks) that should be a 45 win team. Why waste away in 20 win seasons, when you don´t own your pick anyway and your fanbase wants to burn down the arena.

I mean, that's valid. 

I just don't think it's clear what we can expect - that's the problem I'm having. 

Kyrie only worked here as well as he did BECAUSE he was off-ball a lot more, imo. I struggle with the assumption that he's THE answer to the Mavs' PG problem, even if healthy. And, if I'm understanding your take on it correctly, you'd basically want him to sit out all year, right? So, we'd be going into NEXT SEASON without really knowing how it would look? 

I don't know, man. I think it just makes so much more sense to get out of the mid-30's business altogether, if that's the way the wind is blowing. But, the situation is weird enough that I think there's room for a lot of suggestions.
