I don't think you can define it that way. If opportunity presents itself, you take just about any upgrade to talent. What's the saying? The rising tide lifts all boats. I think the only thing you'd turn down or be cautious of at this point, and this is assuming Kyrie works out and is in the long term plans, is another ball dominate player in his prime. I do think someone exiting their prime could work (Jimmy Butler has come up in conversations) but you need to be careful not paying for the name (Lowry). Further, if a big three is the goal, you need the Chris Bosh type player who is willing to sacrifice.
Also, for a DFS level player. Those are better home grown than acquired. That might sound obvious but I just don't see those types of players worth spending assets are or paying them their first big contract.
