Absolutely. The only way to guarantee he is not here long term is to be completely stripped down, void of talent in their prime and draft capital when the time comes. The best way to screw yourself into that awful situation is to spend good assets chasing quick fixes that won’t move the needle. That’s right out of the Cavs’ Dan Gilbert playbook, and doing the opposite is the way to go.
The next decision point is in a few years. They need to keep getting better between now and then, not make stupid impulse purchases.
The smart way to build WILL make the team more attractive for Luka in the long run, and has the added benefit of being what’s best for the team, with or without Luka.
