I think where I get off the bus is when we start targeting players already getting paid to be the exact animal Lively is trying to become. I just feel the list of targets, at this point, should be limited to people who can be brought in to play BEHIND Lively and who have financial situations that make sense for the team.
I’m not as sold on Lively HAVING to play as a starter to develop into what he will become, That is why my list had varying degrees of upgrade. If we bring in an Allen type sure-fire starter, once Lively gets to his level (and/or beyond), we can then move on from Allen as an ASSET, getting pieces that will hopefully fit the team going forward. If Lively doesn’t get to that level (Kessler had an amazing rookie season and has fallen to start the season), he can still be an amazing backup.
