RBWS' Multi-Team Offseason Blueprint

[Knutsen]

I honestly don’t think we‘ll see either AD or Kyrie go anywhere this season - they’ll try to roll out this supposed win-now-lineup at least one season. And honestly I‘m fine with this, because there is at least a chance that Kyrie‘s and AD‘s value is higher after a strong and mostly healthy season or in Kyrie‘s case second half of the season and playoffs than it is now, even if they are a year older.

It‘ll be interesting to see if they are able to extend PJ and or Gafford to a deal that still keeps them a valuable asset on the floor as well as on the trade market. If not they’ll get the Grimes-treatment and get shipped for someone worse, but more cost-controlled probably.

And one more thing, all of our biggest transactions under Nico came midseason, so if something were to happen I‘d assume it’s in February and not in the offseason.

Last thought: the plan for the next few seasons will be to build a team that can beat the Thunder in the playoffs - which we had, but that’s another story. So what do we need position for position to compete against them? I guess our plan will be to be bigger and stronger than them, even when they play both their bigs - and therefore we‘d have to keep AD at the four and play Flagg on a smaller position.
