We also have 2 draft picks next year, and prioritizing developing out young players this year will definitely lead to us getting a higher pick, leaving us with better assets to potentially add a star and complete the team with a piece that fits (make another run at Porzingis next year with our pick and Miami's?). I'd put more effort into getting out of Knight's bad contract by next offseason so we have all the cap space we need to make the next step.
I'm not against chasing a big free agent at all, but I'd prefer if they fill a role of need rather than something we have multiple players at. I'd say center is our biggest need, but outside of Nerlens Noel (whom I expect the Mavericks to re-sign) there's no one worth chasing after. Next season, on the other hand, we can definitely make a run at Bledsoe's buddy and UFA Boogie Cousins and look like a serious team for the 2018-2019 season. We don't necessarily have a hole there with Tyson and the ability to bring back Len and Williams, but I'd say it's the last big piece in taking our team to the next level.
Was never a huge fan of Boogie, but he looks to be taking things much more seriously he looks to be in great shape for maybe the 1st time in his career.
