The West is a nightmare, and even when Kyrie comes back a year from now, he'll be 34 y/o w/a bad knee and AD is already notoriously unreliable. Kyrie/Flagg/AD all in their primes is a contender but the timelines don't line up.

Easy to say that, but given they currently have AD who is roughly on the same timeline and limited depth letting Kyrie walk was an unviable strategy.
Banking on the health of AD/Kyrie is a very risky move but it’s the path they’ve been on since the trade.

On a team with an actual intelligent front office this is what they’d do but unfortunately they are run by Nico Harrison.
It’s crazy they think this can work. If you had asked them immediately after the AD trade how long their window was they’d probably say 3 years. They lost the first year, are going to lose the 2nd year and then Kyrie is a big ? in year 3. Any GM with any common sense would have cut his losses, admitted Kyrie’s injury killed the best 2 years they would have had hit the reset button (especially after landing Flagg). Instead nope, the team will be solid, Kyrie and AD will age out and they’ll be left with a weak asset base to build around Flagg.

I agree, but even at a minimum you get Kryie to opt into his 43 million option and go from there. I don't think they really had to worry about him leaving.

This signing puts the Mavs under the 2nd apron and it puts Kyrie right in line with AD’s contract. The Mavs will have a 2-3 year window with Kyrie and AD. Title or no title they will have massive money coming off the books in order to build around Flagg when he turns 21.
