Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[mvossman]

You’ve consistently argued for trading current, prime players for draft picks and young prospects who align better with Cooper’s prime.

But it seems you’re also unhappy that they haven’t filled immediate needs for this current season.

Which is it?

I like most of the moves they have made in a vacuum, but there is value to getting more creation on this roster than just current season immediate needs.  If we are trying to raise the value of some of the vets, it would help to have a functioning roster.  As it stands there is a real danger they run Kyrie into the ground.  I'm also not a huge fan of running Flagg at the point, even for developmental purposes.

This teams biggest need going into the offseason was creation, and it will be even more so when Kyrie ages out.  So far there has been limited investment in future creation and they have spent assets rather than accumulating them.  I recognize the offseason is not over, but between the draft and trades that have already happened I'm not sure if there will be ton more movement out there.  We shall see.
