I´ll say something controversial in light of Hardy´s recent play. I´d consider moving Irving to the Lakers voluntarily. Get out of the 200M contract four year headache before it begins. Take Vanderbilt, Beasley and Bamba with two unprotected firsts. Then you try to move the two firsts + your own down the road to get a max player that is not crazy or injury prone.
This. A Kyrie/Luka duo is not going to matter when they have no money to fill any of the other massive holes on the roster. They need a complete teardown and reconstruction of this roster. If Kyrie doesn't sign then this will be the closest they will have to a clean slate since 2019 before the KP trade.
They aren't going to get a major upgrade at PF/C or wing with just the MLE. They will end up re-signing Powell because they can't find any "better" options in that price range and they will continue to have the same problems.
