Bring in the Pied Piper of Brooklyn!
Let's be realistic here, D.M.'s trade value isn't at an all time high. How many teams out there would be willing to trade one of their best players for an undersized and largely unproven combo guard? There's still one trade option out there that could benefit both parties in untold and perhaps unanticipated ways and that involves Uncle "No Vaccine Mandates" Drew. Sure we'd be taking in an expiring contract and sure Kyrie would likely bolt, but think of all the positive P.R. it would do in terms of destination desirability for future free agents etc. He goes to Brooklyn and look at all the thoroughbreds that followed him. That franchise was on the ropes and he changed the whole culture or should I say brand perception.
But why give up our star who we have on contract for the next four years. Grow up people, the minute he starts really flowing (not sure in what universe that actually happens) he'll demand a trade to, you guessed it, New York! Anyway hear me out on this, I say we give up Mitchell, Azubuike and the D. Favors exception for Irving, Nic Claxton and Summer League MVP, Cam Thomas. Have you guys seen this kid Thomas? Actually plays a lot like Mitchell only taller and from what I've seen more clutch. I mean we could do the trade differently and include Clarkson or Ingles instead of the trade exception if necessary.
