Why would KD come here by himself? He's going to leave the best team in the NBA to join the worse?
Management has to make moves with their brains not their hearts! Fans are in love with the idea of watching our draft picks grow and are hopeful they develop into all stars and hall of fame players that they probably will never become.
I'm all in on Barrett and am hopeful we select him...However, if you are telling me we can get Anthony Davis (one of the top 5 talents in the league) for our prospects and we get to keep Robinson!! You have to pull the trigger!!
Look - before we traded KP and dumped Hardaway and Lee, we were in a lot of games. KD on that team, would have put us into the 8th position.
Now, add KD and keep some of our players, like Mudiay who I like, DS jr, Frank, and I think that is a squad that competes for the 8th position easy, and is set up with enough potential with RJ, Knox, Mitch, Trier, that in years 2-5, we can hope to really either have them blossom and hold their own, or they develop enough that we can trade for mature/better fitting talent.
I know we were a 17 win team. Add RD & KD at a minimum, we have to be better, and in the hunt for 8.
If we can add Kyrie, I'm sold in my mind. I trade DSjr & Frank and keep Mudiay.
