Kyrie is by far the best player in this trade, i'd imagine a 100% of folks know that to be a fact that part's not debatable
but there are two options:
a.) the two sides haven't pre-agreed to an extention, in which case the Mavs gave up a huge proportion of their actual assets for a short rental of Kyrie
b.) more likely in my opinion - the sides agreed on a 4 year max
giving a 4 year max to kyrie, with the level of craziness involved...that's a good candidate for worst contract in the league
it's not a question of "if" Kyrie sours on the Mavs or just decide to knit winter caps instead of playing ball - it's a question of when
dude just demanded a trade out of the blue a week b4 the deadline because he didn't get a full max after all the S*** he pulled
AND threatend to sitout the season if not traded
you lock him in for 4 years and ur basically his hostage
i actually like the fit on the court, as opposed to some folks
Luka did just fine with Dragic in a lead guard role for Slovenia and both players are smart and willing passers - they'll find their groove on the court
but the off-court stuff simply raises the risk level to intolerable levels
The Mavs FO has been making awful move after another for a few years now, culminating in having very few assets to improve
and now they doubled down on everything
Cuban is a gambler, he took the only shot he had with an actual high upside which was trading for Kyrie
no other way to get that level of talent, but there's a reason Kyrie was available
this is basically a pure gamble and a pretty wild one at that
