The entire year I'm going to be angling for a point guard that can grow next to Flagg.
Aside from our captain, Morez, Risacher and De Larrea are very interesting developmental pieces. Lively watch will be a good story if he can come back like before. Miss that dude. Gafford is probably our best trade bait (but as a stretch 5 shouldn't we want to keep him? (*insert sarcastic grin*). Morez really does intrigue me as a future C. He just plays like a vet.
If Kyrie comes back and actually continues to do Kyrie things and set the stage for everyone, maybe this team is probably a bit better than .500. But the core is flawed and there are too many guys doing the same thing. Hence why I put 35 wins.
Christie, Naji, and maybe PJ should be traded for hopefully a good point guard.
Ah man...you had me right down to the last sentence...sort of. I agree we should trade PJ, not because I don't like him...I do, but because there's a logjam at his position and his strengths don't translate well playing next to (same position) as Cooper Flagg.
I prefer not to trade Naji--yet. Unless it takes him along with PJ to get that mystical future point guard.
Same goes for Christie, but I really think he needs one more year before he becomes trade bait.
I would give a yankee dime, maybe 2 or 3, if we could find somebody to take Martin off our hands...even if it was for a bag of chips. It would give us another position to fill and added flexibility.
