Ya, we're not trading Lively, unless something is known only by the FO driving that decision.
Maxi played only 19% of the minutes available last year. His availability is definitely on the decline. Eventually I see OMax taking Maxi's role of our best switching defender, but he has to develop an outside shot of some sort to stay on the court. I'm talking like 32%3pt.
IMO, THJ's biggest value on this roster is a 3rd player who can give you 20pts on any night that you ask that of him. I think Hardy can get there, but not with the consistency of THJ yet.

"Kyrie Gonna Request A Trade" - NBA Fans Think Mark Cuban's Recent Comments About Luka Doncic Will Not Sit Well With Kyrie Irving

Hyperbole, noise. That article is ridiculous.
Cuban is spot on. Kyrie tried to blend with Luka exceptionally well after the trade. It was Kidd (by not retooling the offense to accommodate both Kyrie and Luka) and possibly Luka (if he refused to play off the ball) who failed.
