The largest single decision going forward as I see it is what are you going to do with Dak? It’s the very first piece of the flow chart.
I see the arguments for both sides of this situation and both have merit. Personally, I would be looking to move on from Dak whether it’s this season or the next.
In my opinion whether you want Dak to stay or go the first question you need to know is what is it going to cost you for Dak to be here. (You know it’s going to be a beat down. The question is how much of a beat down). The higher that number is the greater the incentive to move on from Dak.
Secondly, if you decide to pay Dak, (especially longer term) you are going to have to decide which players you are going to keep and which ones are you going to move on from.
Parsons is also going to be a franchise altering contract. Almost a QB type of contract. I’m all for Parsons staying here his entire career. But what is is trade value on the market? And what is his contract going to cost you?
Parson’s play is not replaceable by a single player, but if you could get three first round picks or two first round picks and change for him (two additional thirds) I don’t see how you don’t make that trade.
He’s a hall of fame type of player but he has a risk of injury and he’s just one player. Would three or four players raise the overall level of play above what Parsons can do alone? Very probably.
If you keep Dak, I think you are going to have to start flipping players for picks. (Parsons, Cee Dee, Tyron, Martin, Lawrence, Tyler). You can’t pay Dak AND pay everyone else. You also need to improve your team with less cap room. How are you going to do that?
