But he has really stepped up. PJ and Gafford are both good players with short contracts. Throw in matching salary like Jaden and Powell. The pick(s) allows PHX to get a young asset. It is not a great package for PHX, but could be competitive. I am not sure if this team is toxic to other players though.
KD to the Mavs probably wouldnt' work out, but lets not think this team has any future next year as is. Especially with Kyrie out for most of the year. Not sure you can put together a team that is better than the current top 7, I don't think. Heck, Portland and San Antonio may be more competitve next year.
Because I have the misfortune to still be a Mavs fan, my only hope for the offseason is that Nico is fired and the league gifts us Flagg (or at the very least a top four pick - the "and" is there because no team so self-flagellating as to retain Nico as its GM deserves that), or, if the owners are too moronic to fire Nico, that someone outbids us for KD.
