The Kyrie and Mavs dynamic will be interesting to watch. They appear to be aligned now, but what happens if this is a 30plus win team next year?
I personally think despite the Mavs leadership saying they don't want to skip steps in building around Flagg that they may have a faster timeline than we expect. Especially if Flagg makes a leap. I don't think I would be on board with that as I am not sure we could compete against OKC and SA anytime soon. I just have a sneaky suspicion if they intend to keep Kyrie they may be searching for that surprising move. Their moves and non moves this summer sort of hint to that.
The K. Leonard trade rumor this summer was really surprising. Zach Lowe thought that there was nothing there, but I am keeping my ears perked for something like that hitting in the next 6 months.
