Bad move by Danny... Wasted a #8 pick, and the 2018-2019 season on Kyrie.
Danny is a risk taker. That not only means taking risks that turn out well but taking risk that sometimes fall flat. He has taken bad risks before and quickly moved on from them.
What you're also discounting is keeping the team the same might have also turned out badly. Imagine an alternate reality where we keep and re-sign (even if it is only for a year or two) a gimpy IT who still thinks he's the same player and just bricks shot after shot. Where we keep the role players around him who we dealt away with our young guys buried deep in the bench and not getting playing time to develop. We're probably an even bigger dysfunctional mess.
Now maybe he should've waited and shipped IT off for say Paul George instead. He certainly should've taken the risk for Kawhi. Then again if Toronto falls short and Kawhi runs off to the Clippers... maybe not.
Its all a risk. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some. And on the whole Danny has a pretty good record with the risks he has taken.
