It helps us with the cap and getting assets back. In terms of KD, he has been well behaved here IMO. I think he has been nothing but supportive of Book as well. It just didn't work out. In terms of Book? I am one of the few on this board that thinks we should move him while he is at peak value because we are not winning a title before Book retires barring some amazing trade to get a legit #1 in here to play with him with the time he has left.
I have now made peace with the idea of trading KD now and going for a haul by trading Book maybe by the deadline.
All the necessary teams with attractive draft capital and a promising young player would most likely be in the mix.
This situation has no immediate fixes and I'd rather see a blowup start when we have some sort of leverage to acquire significant resources as soon as possible.
I can tolerate a 3yr window of righting the ship again with replenished assets as opposed to mediocrity with Book for the next 4, waiting for an inevitable trade request, and leaving the first signs of hope 6yrs down the line.
DNP Beal into oblivion and reestablish a foundation.
