Of Obi, RJ, IQ, Grimes and Deuce, only Deuce remains (also Sims). We need to stock the pipeline again.
We've probably plucked all the low hanging fruit - undervalued guys who can be had in trade or FA (Novas, OG, Ihart, etc.; Can Shamet play? Will we ever find out?) and with the INJURY APOCALYPSE there's no guarantee that even IF we get a good star in trade they'll make it all the way through the Playoffs (see Embid, Giannis) unscathed.
They traded Obi, Quick, Grimes & RJ in the last 12 months and I'd guess they're going to try to move Bogs this off-season, so the Roster is pretty open.
Try to get I-Hart back - 2 centers
Randall & Precious - 2 PFs
OG - SF
Donte - SG
Brunson - PG
J-Hart - 6th man
McBride - 7th man.
That's the 8 player rotation, occasionally 9 if the play Precious, but mostly 8 and I could see carrying 2 rookies to go with that.
They could also pull off a trade, so who knows where it'll end up.
