But since the Kyrie trade, Nico has been on a heater. Kyrie on a steal, the lively pick. PJ and Gafford trades. The Marshall jump and the Grimes trade. Not even getting to Klay yet.
After Jalen left I was literally questioning if we had the skill and the assets to build a team around Luka. It was depressing. Most of the trade targets discussed as a second option were more depressing than hopeful. Now we have a younger, taller more skilled, athletic team just two years later.
Who knows how this season plays out but man the moves Nico have made have been stellar.
Yep, I just posted this on another thread, but I think it was huge when we brought in Lindsey and he finally had a legit experienced quality FO resource to learn from. Then you remove Cuban influence and in a few short years we suddenly have an elite GM.
