Then, as was mentioned, Lively getting to basically be an understudy of one of the best two way players in the league? That's a huge thing that is getting missed. He will be 21 next week. Those two players could make a huge impact in Dallas for a very long time.
That's why I hope we don't trade our pick for another old player.
We do seem to have somewhat of a nice but very young duo to build around, so I'd like to see them add another one from the draft to develop.
I've given up on Hardy but still have a slim hope that OMax will eventually become starter material.
What still has me boiling is that we could have had it both ways.
We seemed to be setup perfectly to make a 2 year run with Kyrie and Klay, but still young enough to start the rebuild process with Lively and either a 27 yo Luka, or the plathora of young players and draft picks we would have gotten in a Luka/PJ and some others trade with a sane GM.
I'm sorry, I love AD and Christie's games but I'll boil over this for years. The fact we lost Luka and Brunson and have what?, only a couple of draft picks over the next 5 years is beyond unforgivable, downright pitiful and sickening.
