Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

Kyrie will upgrade our Lifetime Fitness offense to NBA level.  And even if he weren't on the team or if we were talking about a different sport, I hate drafting based on need.  If need coincides with BPA, great.  I might relax that stance a hair if we are one piece away, but in my view, we really only have one piece and a short term rental on the best handles the league has ever seen.  That short term rental might reenforce your stance on wanting a PG and that's understandable, but I'd give me BPA.  It's all a bit moot as there is very little chance of us getting into the top 5 so Boozer, Peterson and Wilson are off the board.

I'm with you, to a point. But that point is: who's handling the ball? It's not quiiiiite to the level of an NFL team drafting the best WR or edge rusher in the first round if their next great QB is probably still in middle school somewhere, but after watching this team for the past two seasons, my mindset is heading in that direction quickly. Once both Flagg and this other mystery dude are in place, I'll very quickly become aware of 10 other needs and will be right there with you, philosophically, but for now I just can't get excited about watching what we just had to watch last season. I think it sells the team and Flagg short. 

The good news is that there's a very strong possibility that the BPA will be a PG, so maybe everyone will be happy with that.
