Depending on what happens with FA...
I expect the Sixers to stay in tact.
Milwaukee will bring back Giannis and Lopez.
Toronto's length with Siakam (who btw took that next step in the playoffs) and Kawhi plus Gasol (albeit he's getting older) and Ibaka.
Orlando's size hurt us with Vuc (who would have looked like an MVP in the playoffs against us vs the version we saw vs Gasol). And they got the length/athleticism of Isaac and Gordon.
Atlanta is going to develop into a terror soon with John Collins, who absolutely destroyed us every time we played.
Whether it is by draft or FA or internal improvement, we ABSOLUTELY need to get bigger and stronger at the 4/5 or we will get crushed again

Marks/Kenny are fine with that and waiting until allen/kurucs get bigger or a young rookie we draft this year gets bigger. we are WAY ahead of schedule in their minds with 0 urgency. marks say on joe and even they are sitll 3 years away in their rebuild.
we wont add size, we likely get smaller if anything
That's fine but you can't stay with the same expectations. They may have thought we were ahead of schedule and didn't expect us to be in playoffs until 2 years from now but here we are...
The bill are coming due in the form of Russell's deal this off season and Caris next.
We can't come back next season and win 42 games, have same negatives and be like "well...thats fine, were still ahead 1 year"
No, we're ahead of projection this season.
This is like the Wolves. They made the playoffs last season, lock up their core.
And this season, they were a relative mess in a tough west.
Yet, universally their season is viewed as a disappointment.
This team can't step back next season and it be viewed as natural progression simply because two years ago they thought we were three years away.
