Meanwhile, while we talk about trading Domas and starting a proper rebuild, Vivek just wet himself with excitement over the proposal floated on the Ringer:

AD for Lavine, Keon, and 27 FRP.
That trade is probably just enough to get us in play-in territory, but not be a real contender, while sacrificing Keon, a first round pick, and probably taking our 26 FRP out of the high lottery, and into the dreaded 10-15 range. The resulting roster (if AD could stay healthy) is probably the best you can do around Domas, and actually plays decent defense, but would be so short-term focused, while losing long term assets, that it is the exact thing Vivek would do. We could probably roll a balanced first and second unit as follows:
Domas-AD-Keegan-Monk-Russ, backed up by Eubanks-Precious-Demar- Nique-Schroder.
Good offense and defense in both units, and just enough to flirt with a first round exit.
