2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

I don't think its metrics.  He has been a big plus in the locker room and I think they want to hold onto that.  That being said, A top 10 in this upcoming draft is very likely the best asset you are ever going to get for Kyrie.  I get the argument that he will bring a stabilizing influence in Flagg's early years, but he will probably be in his late 30s by the time this team is contending and this is not exactly an asset rich franchise right now.

Oh, I'm sure he's great in the lockeroom, but that's usually not enough to keep a good trade piece. Maybe there's some personal relationships that matter, but I think only a new GM with power could pull off a Kyrie trade. Just my opinion of course.
