The one I struggle with is the versions of this where we simply trade Green to keep DJJ. It is less clear to me that DJJ is better than Green. I take some solace that Grimes fills the Green 'hole' and DJJ is the backup 3 behind Thompson. But, it will sting a little.
This really is kind of about maximizing the Kyrie window. I would've poo-poo'd that kind of thinking a year ago, but if an NBA finals appearance doesn't prove you should be all-in, I don't know what does.
And, even if they do have to give away Green, it's AMAZING how young they have become to be this all-in.
