When you make the finals as a young team with limited assets it makes sense to work around the edges. grimes plus retaining DJJ would have already been improvement (I think Grimes is their best chance to improve starting lineup offense without big drop off on defense).
And this team has a long history of making big plays for past their prime stars and striking out.
Fair enough, I get your point.
From my perspective we have two years of the Kyrie-window left to win a title - and that is if Kyrie stays healthy for the next two years like he did this season, which was the first season in a long time.
If true most probable assumption is that you have to beat the Celtics in the finals now that they know how to win then you have to try to build a team that has a chance to do so and be opportunistic and take chances. If those turn out to be the right ones we‘ll only know afterwards anyways.
