The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking it might make sense to hold on to AD until FA starts to wind down. Assuming you don't get the offer you want before then.

I don't know about until it starts to wind down, but it could make sense to wait until the big chips start to fall.

Kawhi signs with Clippers, would they prefer to pair him with AD or their current roster?

Lakers strike out on the big names, how many unprotected future picks can we get?

Kyrie signs with Boston, Ainge is more secure and can make the move.

Kyrie signs with the Nets, who will they pair with him now that KD is out?

There isn't as big of a worry now that one or multiple teams will pair up a couple of stars so AD could be the missing piece.

Worth thinking about if the right deal doesn't come along.

Ideally you want to strike before free agency to get the best offers from teams looking to put together a super team.

If those offers don’t come in, we can wait and someone who missed out could offer a good deal for him.

And if those deals don’t come in, we can go into the season with shithead and keep playing him until we are out of the playoff hunt or someone makes us a good enough offer.

About the only thing I refuse to do is sell low to the Lakers. They can get him but they have to pay EVERYTHING.
