1) He's a PICK AND ROLL master, even at age 73, or whatever.
2) He'd INSTANTLY make Gafford/Lively (whichever is left, or both) relevant again on offense.
3) He's a very real, gettable option that the team can afford who'd go a long way towards keeping the team's head above water until the trade deadline, by which time they should know what they have here, how Flagg fits with the team, what they could potentially be down the stretch with Kyrie at (hopefully) 80-90%, who isn't fitting with Flagg and needs to go, etc.
I know many will hate this idea - I think they could do much worse.
You'd also have to imagine that Kyrie, AD, Kidd, or Nico has some sort of relationship with him. That said, I think he made $10 million last year and if he's going to take another haircut, you have to wonder what his desire is to ring chase which could rule us out.
