Totally agree.
This team without Luka AND Kyrie is an offensive bum.
Even if Flagg is better that we can expect.
Of course, like Gump said, we can't rebuild because we don't have our future picks (great job Nico Harrison) but trade AD for good players in 22/24yo range &picks and NOT resign a injury 33yo Kyrie Irving are the smarter moves right now. Maybe Klay too.
Our core is young, let them play together 2/3 years and see what they will become.
If (a big IF i know) Flagg and D-Liv will be real superstars then with PJ, Christie, Naji, Gafford and new guys acquired from the trades we can try to contending again.
Our window is closed, push hard with AD&Irving is just stupid because we have to trade PJ&Gafford for make work this roster and changes of a ring are very small.
IMHO of course.
Spurs have Fox & Castle, they can't play together.
I'm happy to land one of them and start with a young and talent core the new Mavs era.
Fire Nico will be the first move of course.
