Personally, I would be far more worried if the assets are spent on a center than on a 2-way wing.
Agree with both of the above statements.
Although...I'm leaving room for the idea that Kyrie is more helpful here than I anticipate (he has been, so far) and that at some point soon they get SO good that I'm won over to the "one move away" crowd. But yeah, I'd be open to moving him next summer (possibly in that one move, even) for sure. I just need to see this a while longer before I decide which direction to go, if I'm in charge, that's all.
I definitely agree with the second statement above, I'm just not 100% sure a move MUST be made for this thing to keep moving forward at a brisker-than-expected pace, and I'm low-key aware at the same time that the WRONG move can grind this whole movement to a halt. Look at the damage of last year done by some combination of Wood/McGee entering the locker room and Brunson leaving it. Tough to quantify, but the mix of people in your locker room...the opportunity/competition quotient...these things seem to matter quite a bit.
