This team will never be bad enough to be Houston three years ago or OKC six years ago. We aren't going to lose our way into high draft picks. So we are going to have to trade our way into some youthful talent and draft picks to be a real contender - in my mind anyway.
We don't even have the option to lose our way into draft picks after this season because we don't control them. This season is by far their best chance to reset between the 26 pick and whatever they can get in AD trade. It would also be really hard to turn down a strong offer for Kyrie from a team like Houston at the TDL even though I think he wants to stay.
