Makes total sense with the exact same argument I made for the Mavs. 

People just have a hard time accepting that the Mavs are now a super-charged version of the Wizards, after being one of the legit title favourites just 12 months ago. 

Mavs need an additional PG that can give this offense some structure. Kyrie has not played more than 60 regular season games once in the last nine years. 

He´s  going to be 34 years old next year and coming off an ACL injury. So what kind of expectations are people having here? The Finals run might have been his last hurrah or maybe the 2025 title could have been.

 If you want this team to compete next year, they´ll need to acquire a high end guard. As we have seen with DAR, those don´t grow on exception trees.

I don't disagree that finding Kyrie's replacement should be top of the list. 

I just don't think Trae Young is it. Of all the distressed PG's out there right now, he's unquestionably the most polished, offensively, but he'd be the very last one I'd pick. He comes with all the same issues as Luka (other than conditioning) but without the true greatness. I think WAS is right where he belongs, tbh.
