Yeahh... I can get on board with something like that for sure.

You gave Burries a year with Kyrie to take the reins eventually at the point, and your backcourt is now Burries and Carr. You'd need to add another big somehow, maybe another PG for insurance, but the spacing problem is almost certainly solved. You've got solid trade pieces to get the rotation right. You've got playmaking skills and with Flagg, Burries, Kyrie, Marshall, and even Carr.
This won't happen, but I enjoyed thinking about it.
Great minds. I went through the same thought exercise the other day. Then Carr blew up and the scrimmage… so who knows.
