AD is 30yo, Kyrie is 31yo. If the Lakers want someone to create a new era alongside AD, then Kyrie could fit their purposes instead of Trae?
So as much as I like Kyrie and his game, I would be open to trading him to LA in return for a player and some of those picks and swaps... and then use those picks/swaps to upgrade at SG in a separate deal.
For example:
Mavs get: Dejounte + Vassell
Lakers get: Kyrie
Atlanta get: Reaves + Lakers pick
Spurs get: filler + Lakers picks/swaps (from Mavs) or Mavs own picks/swaps
G: Dejounte (27) | Exum (28)
G: Vassell (23) | Hardy (21)
F: Luka (24) | Green (23) | DJJ? (26)
F: PJ (25) | Kleber (32) | O-Max (21)
C: Lively (20) | Gafford (25)
I think this levels up the Mavericks roster considerably. It also seems like wins for ATL and LAL. The Spurs get more picks to build around Wemby.
So everyone wins.
Why would the spurs want picks over their second best young player?
