- Kyrie tore his ACL less than three months ago
- Klay will be a year older
- Davis‘ (+ Livelys’) injury history is well documented
The last thing this organization should do right now is trade away additional 1st round draft capital. There is a pretty decent chance this team wont see another 1st round playoff series for a few years. I‘m as excited about Flagg as the next guy but Luka has obscenely moved expectations for young lottery rookie scale players. By reading some comments I cant shake the feeling that plenty around here have already forgotten or are playing down how insanely good and special Luka was from day 1y. He was essentially an allstar caliber player right out the gate and then an 1st team all nba from his second year on counting. Even if Flagg becomes another superstar it will probably take him a few years to do so.
I can get on board with smallish moves to keep things afloat like bringing in a veteran PG (yes to CP3 but Tyus Jones would also be high on my FA list) but I‘m not breaking the bank for a team that‘s essentially one AD injury away from being Flagg and a bunch of role players. Luka may have dragged a group like that into the postseason by default but that‘s too much to ask from a 18 year old college freshman entering the league. If AD goes down we‘ll be VERY happy that at least in 2026 there is still a safety net in place with our own 1st round draft pick.
Then you still got the whole Nico Harrison mess to fix. He is still public enemy nr 1 in Dallas, the organization should first get rid of him, find a competent replacement and then implement a clear strategy for the Flagg-era.
