Trading Donte would really piss off JB and Josh.
Donte, Mitch, and our draft picks?
That’s what I’m saying. It will be really hard for Leon to make a big move. Pressure to run it back will be sky high.
There are no really big moves to make...yet. All of the names dropped as targets around here are usually dream scenarios and not reality. Fully healthy we are a contender. That's lost on too many people. Look what we are doing with 7 man rotations. Up 2-0 in the second round with a skeleton crew. Pressure to run it back or common sense? Seems to be the latter to me,
Brunson/DDV/OG/Randle/iHart was the best team in the league for a month. Then we lost OG/Randle while dealing with several other injuries and fought for the 2 seed. There's not a lot that needs to be done here. There's no pressure to make any big moves at all really. Just run it back healthy and upgrade the bench. Thibs needs to utilize the bench more. Add a legit backup PG and we should be a tougher team to beat.
The big moves this summer for me is iHart/OG/Precious re-signing. Can we pull that off and add a backup PG who can run the offense well enough to rest Brunson? Deuce hasn't proven to be that guy.
Brunson/backup upgrade
DDV/Deuce
OG/Hart
Randle/Bojan/(Precious)
iHart/Mitch/(Precious)
If we can pull that off we should have enough talent to make it to the playoffs healthy.
+1000, we have a great cohesive starting lineup that showed its potential in January.
IHart, Randle,OG,Dante and Brunson.
6th man JHart
Mitch should be the backup C just to try to keep him healthy, IHart has shown he’s a starter.
We have very good 9th and 10th men in Deuce and Precious.
What we need is that 8th man that will be part of the playoff rotation that can run the offense when JB is resting and also be able to play alongside him.
We have two first round picks this year we can trade and Bogie’s contract. Not sure how many players fit the bill but I wouldn’t mind Caruso.
