Trading for AD was actually somewhere relatively high on my wishlist but I would have viewed him as the final piece alongside Luka and Kyrie. At this point in his career he is a guy who needs his workload managed cautiously or his body breaks down immediately. With Luka you had a dependable perennial MVP candidate in place who could take over the majority of the burden on a nightly basis while Kyrie and AD fill into the spots around him. With LeBron being on the verge of retiring I am sure there would have been a time and a place for a trade like that. It would have been a great fit for a few years.
But here we are doing the dumbest trade in NBA history with an insanely fast collapse of a team that had just gone to the finals a few months earlier. Still absolutely insanse how this all went down. What is the teams record since the trade? Must be somewhere in the bottom 6-7 of the entire league.
Nico Harrison and Patrick Dumont are literally the dumbest GM / decision maker pairing in NBA history. Two absolute clowns.
The worst thing is tha it will all go downhill even further once AD and Kyrie have gotten older and the team will be enter the years without their own draft picks. Things look bleak right now but their first round pick offers a safety net. From 2027 on that wont be the case anymore.
