It may make even more sense to move someone at the trade deadline next year. In fact we might wait a bit longer. We still don’t know exactly what we have not, let alone what we’ll have with our rookies next year.I'm glad the Sexton hamstring injury turned out to be an actual (minor) injury and not a trade.
With this mega-draft looming where any of the top 4 spots could yield a legit franchise player, I think it makes most sense to figure out Sexland this summer. If we can draft Green, it may make sense to move Sexton. If we draft Suggs, it may make sense to move Garland. We're not winning anything this year anyway.
While the negative side of drafting BPA has been well-documented here, there is a positive side too: We have legitimate young talent that gives us great flexible and great trade assets to form a team that makes more sense when we have an actual franchise player and are ready to win.
I can understand not trusting Koby to properly manage the assets and build a winner given how he mostly botched the 2018 season. But purely based on this rebuild, and despite some of the optics, he's done really well at drafting and accumulating assets -- to me, the two most important parts of a rebuild that has not received any lottery luck yet.
We‘re so young that it’s going to take time to figure everything out.
In the meantime the kids are competing, especially at home. They should draw fans next season. I’m enjoying watching this season a LOT more than any other season after Kyrie left (regular season only of course).
