25 wins = #2 pick last year. And if those players you mention stay healthy, they're still at best the 3rd worst team in the NBA in my opinion.

Obviously a lot can change from now until next year's draft, but for now at least, it's considered to be 7 prospects fighting for the #1 spot in the draft. It's a really deep draft at the top (right now). A top 3 pick would absolutely give them a shot at a superstar unless this class turns out to be a lot worse than expected.

I agree regarding Isaiah's flaws, but he's a better scorer and passer right now than Kyrie is. Worse defender, but at worst, it's a tiny upgrade in the short-term, and no Crowder is still worse than having Crowder. I've made it clear that I think maxing out Isaiah as he enters his age 29 season would be a disaster; no doubt having Kyrie long-term is a better option. Trading Isaiah for Kyrie makes a ton of sense for Boston. But trading Isaiah + the Brooklyn pick + other assets does not IMO.

Between these two options, I'd easily take the top one:

Fultz, Porter/Doncic/Ayton, whatever you can get for Isaiah, Crowder, Zizic

vs.

Kyrie, Tatum
