IMO this is problematic with the way the summer played out...
Dallas does not have a Ky replacement available in the wings (don't want to rehash what should have been with Brunson) and that means they will attempt to find that player with lower draft picks (when they have them) or they will have to find another player to buy low as a PG (that player MIGHT have been Fultz) unless they are baking on Hardy projecting to that role without developmental PT. Call me skeptical on Hardy and all of a sudden I am hoping for a Nelson type draft (Dirk/Nash or Luka/Brunson).

I think they are planning to keep Kyrie for at least three or four more years, which means extending his current deal - that is if he shows no serious signs of wearing down. Nash could play up to a high age, Kidd could as well, Paul could, so why shouldn’t Kyrie if he has no major injuries in the next years like a torn Achilles or ACL. 

Therefore having a successor right now wouldn’t make too much sense, because he couldn’t develop properly - and if he could you would have to pay him before you need him. That’s why I‘d expect temporary solutions for the next couple of seasons like Dinwiddie, who can step up when Kyrie misses a couple of games during the season.
