I view any short term success with the current roster as fool's gold. Contending in the West is going to require giving up more future assets to add talent. Maybe they can shuffle some guys around for better fitting pieces, but I don't think that's nearly enough. They can't realistically expect to do the two timelines thing and have a shot against teams like OKC, Houston, and Denver. AD and Kyrie will be 33 and 34 next year. The window, if it's open at all, is going to be slamming shut extremely quickly.
