If LeVert or Kyrie had a better track record of staying healthy, I'd be more against a move for a third star. Unfortunately, they don't. Not only does that mean you need to make another move for a reliable star, but it needs to be for a guy that can both complement Kyrie as a wing, but be the primary ball handler whenever Kyrie is out. Beal, Holiday & McCollum make the most sense. Holiday is probably the best fit due to his defensive ability & off-ball ability. I just don't know if I'd break the bank with young potential for him.
To match salaries, without trading Jordan, the package starts with Prince + Dinwiddie/LeVert. Is that enough straight up for any of those guys? I don't like the idea of trading Multiple young pieces Like LeVert+Allen+picks unless it's for a younger star, because the veterans will have a short shelf life here.

This is actually why Beal makes the most sense Imho, assuming all 3 are available to us for varying degrees of our assets.
He's the youngest, he's actually probably the best off ball, best shooter iirc without looking it up and probably the most impactful and productive player when speaking about playing with another ball dominant star.
I like the idea of all 3 though, especially Beal and Jrue.
I haven't ran the math, but do all 3 of Dinwiddie, Prince and LeVert have to be in there because of BYC?

Re: NBA Season Has Been Suspended
Is there a trade kicker involved with trading guys who just signed extensions?
