If you start thinking of keeping AD long term, we don't have many long term solutions. Multiple trades need to be made to balance this thing around Flagg and AD.
P.J. doesn't have a place. Neither does Marshall. Then you have two extremely talented back up 5's in Gafford/Lively.
Nembhard and even Max would seem to fit better off the bench. I think this team needs a long term starting 2 and 3. I'm counting Kyrie as the 1 for now.
I agree with the player assessment except I would put Naji in the quality bench group.
I just think getting the roster rebalanced as well as getting enough talent on the roster is going to be a long drawn out process that probably won't fit AD timeline. I also think trading AD in the right deal will make it a lot easier to achieve those roster goals.
