If they can commit to playing AD at the 5 is it better to keep him and hope for some lottery luck and go into next year with a healthy Kyrie/AD/Flagg trio?
God, no. He hurt his finger last night. I thought he grabbed his calf once. His shooting and rebounding were excellent, but he's still slow down the court, and not much at defending the perimeter.
It would hurt to lose him in a trade, but it would hurt worse to lose him to injury. I cross my fingers every time he plays. We pay him too much to sit on the bench with an injury.
