I think it all depends who the player is. I am really lukewarm on using the 10th pick and other stuff for another high $ player. I would not say I would rule everyone out, but it would need to be the right player in the right package. Dallas invested in Kyrie (time will tell if that is a ticking time bomb) and he is your second star. This team needs 3-4 really good role players over another star. I think this is where a draft pick can help. Heck, maybe that pick turns into much more than a role player. You may not get all four this summer, but you can start laying groundwork. I want a deep, tough team that limits mistakes and wins game.
I tend to agree with most of Iztok's columns and he very well be right, but I tend to disagree with him in his latest column. I am sure they are feeling pressure to get good again. If the right move is there....make it. But don't go all in on a move if it is not the right move.
Dallas is better than their record. This season was a season from hell. Everything went wrong. I feel confident a healthy Luka and a healthy resigned Kyrie with a few slight improvements is a playoff team. I am hoping for more than just slight improvements with the rest of the roster though, but get 10% better on defense and rebounding and clean up some of the other problem areas and this team would have been in the playoffs this year.. You can start laying the groundwork where they are a top 10 team again next year and then look for that final step 6 months to a year from now. My fear is they throw all their chips in this summer and it is for the wrong move that is panicked.
