I also choose to believe we will retain our pick and use it, fire Kidd, sign some defensive players, re-sign Kyrie, and come back next year with a vengeance. Could be my copium pipe. Giannis won at 26, LeBron won at 27... Luka WILL follow suit.

Luka should be pissed off. He's not fit enough to carry a team of scrubs by himself and thats what he must assume he will have to do with our FO and Coach. He's not fit enough to move laterally to keep up with any one 1v1 defensively on a consistent basis. If he wants to win, he must be a specimen physically and have incredible cardio.
If Kidd is fired, I'll be shocked. Pleasantly.
Pessimism in me says, Kyrie gone, Wood gone, Kidd here. Lesser but different team next season.
