Maybe Lively is never going to be able to stay on the court and then it was a position of need. But that is just an indication of how far this team is. The odds of them getting near that point before Kyrie is in hard decline is much less likely now. This is simply a sign that we are looking at a longer rebuild than a lot of folks on here were hoping.
I get the frustration. I do.
But, once you wrap your head around the (apparent) fact that they did NOT love Burries...who else was left?
Kinda seems like it was Ament or their pick of the Michigan dudes. I personally would've preferred Ament, but I think they picked the best of the Michigan dudes BY FAR. And he's a much, much safer pick than Ament, I'm sure you'll agree.
