Yep exactly. I honestly hated the trade for Luka because it took Dallas years (and even then they made the Western Conference Finals ahead of schedule) to assemble a roster around Luka. There were plenty of misses (not resigning Brunson, the Porzingis trade which got them little in return, the Grant Williams signing etc) and hits (Kyrie, Lively, Gafford/PJ Trades) but it takes time and now Luka has to start over and once again this team has to build around him. I would've loved to see the Dallas thing play out (we'll never know if Kyrie gets hurt if Luka never gets traded) the next few years than him get shipped to a new team. But writing off a guy, who's 26, and has been to a Western Conference Championship, and an NBA Finals, and was the LEADER of those two teams (with different rosters nonetheless) is ridiculous hot take garbage that dominates today's sport talk.
