But sometimes if you squint really really hard you can see the vision of a healthy AD with Kyrie, P.J., Lively, Klay, Gafford, Naji, Max. This team had a chance last year had Kyrie not gotten hurt.
That was a good team, but less than what it was pre trade and I don't think it had a chance if you mean getting to the finals. It simply did not have enough offensive creation. Kyrie is not a true point guard. He has always been best off ball next to a larger ball dominate player (LeBron, Luka). There was nobody to help carry the creation load (and they traded away one of the few guys on the roster that could have helped)...
