So did they let Mike Conley go?

Losing NAW hurts their perimeter D and their backcourt depth in general. If Conley is gone too, they seem a bit thin in the backcourt.
And gobert is only getting older too. EDIT: or is Rudy gone (not resigned) too?

Would love to see them make a run at the finals, but without some moves (or big surprises among their youngest players), I don’t see them as having the crew.

Terrible basketball player. One of the most overrated players in the league, possibly top 2 with Giannis.

CantMan was genuinely never top 15 in the league at any point, in his whole career.

Conley and Gobert are both back.

No real additions barring a surprise from a rookie or minimum type guy. I do like Joan Beringer as a C prospect, but probably a 3rd stringer for now. Shannon Jr could be a breakout candidate on the bench.

He is still here. This is the last year on his contract.

Overrated in everyway.

Again, he was never top 15 at any point in his career. Possibly top 2 most overrated all-time.

Still a good team with good depth (overdependent on an old Conley), but need Edwards to make the leap if they want to win it.
