Wooowwww. I think they're the second best team in the West if they gel together well, and I could see them giving GS all they can handle.
That Irving trade is just getting better and better for us, huh? That's now like 7 legit teams that will challenge Brooklyn for worst in the NBA - Brooklyn, Chicago, Indy, Atlanta, New York, LAL, Sacramento, and Phoenix.
By extension I guess it makes the Fultz deal worse.
Eh, somewhat, as at this point I'm not sure if we'll get LA's pick or Sacramento's pick.
But on the other hand, it makes quite a bit of sense since (1) we now have a young franchise point guard anyways (rendering Fultz redundant) and (2) it seems pretty clear that Danny wanted Tatum all along and rated him similarly to Fultz, meaning the trade just gained us a free asset.
At this point, I'd definitely rather have Kyrie, Tatum, and the LA pick than IT, Fultz, Crowder, Zizic, and the Brooklyn pick, especially given the hindsight of IT's injury.
