Hardaway will have his most value ever this summer. Likely he needs to go. I’m personally out on Hardy, but he should have minimal trade value. Green has some trade value and maybe we could increase that by end of season. Williams value can only go up from here. Holmes becomes an expiring. Curry and Powell are whatever. Morris doesn’t matter.
Exum and DJJ were excellent signings. Lively and Omax many teams would love to have our draft. Nico did an excellent job adding to the Luka/Kyrie core. We just need one more summer of that
Expiring THJ, Holmes, Curry
Young players Hardy, Williams and Green
3 FRP’s and 3 SRP’s plus swaps
That’s plenty of ammo to go out and get two good players
Plus Kidd could be fired
The biggest thing this season is to see what we have and what we’re missing. I’m fine if we don’t make a move next week
I like this plan a lot. This team isn't competing for a title this year so let's see what we have with the young players. Also F Gump and others are saying they are out on this season, not out forever. Their record is a little better than I expected, but they could still be a .500 team at the end. It's not like they are on pace for 55 wins or anything. This team isn't constructed correctly and honestly, I'm not sure what the right way to build a team around Luka is. We have our theories about 3/D players around him, but nobody has ever won a championship playing his style of ball. It's very similar to prime Harden and he never got it done. I think Luka is better than prime Harden, but I don't think it's a recipe for championships. I think they need to have a free flowing offense. Luka can still get his anytime he wants.
