So, how about we put a team around him that he can be proud to sign another extension? What if OMax never develops a 3? What if Lively is a bust? What if, what if? We can stay with this team and keep the 27 and things go horribly wrong. That’s a sure-fire way to lose Luka.
You guys have covered the bad possibilities of making a Capela trade. What if you’re wrong?
I think you either focus on next season, meaning pouring your assets into established vets (less ifs) or focusing long term (at least next 3 years) meaning you pour your assets into young pieces (more ifs). It seems the FO believes the best way to keep Luka is going the second route. I tend to agree assuming they can pull it off effectively, and so far I like what they have done. That does not mean we can't short term upgrade the center position, but with the focus being 2-3 years I think its more a luxury than a necessity.
