That is too much. There are not a lot of options out there where I would send the unprotected 27. Not for Grant's bloated contract and not for a center. Siakam would make sense, but I don't think we have the assets to get that done.I am so tired of this exact same thing being said every. single. offseason.
We are not going to be a contender this coming season. Lets get a young defensive player with the MLE and see where we are at after the season. Then we will have a much younger roster and 3 firsts to trade. That is when we make the big move.
What big trade do we need for this team that would cost 3 FRPs? We have our 2 superstars. We need the well fitting other guys. This can’t be their mentality. It was already assinine that the 27 wasn’t used at the TDL last season after the Kyrie trade (of course I know there might not have been a trade available). We’ll have 2 FRPs next year, that should be more than enough for the type if talent we need.
Use the freakin 27 to upgrade the team in the first year of Kyrie’s contract, don’t hold on to it for some mythical trade. Now is the time.

Not that the Mavs would be facing them frequently but I'd like to feel better with Thybulle at SF (I'm not convinced with Thybulle for the full MLE).
Edit: my sauces say.
