Aside from cousins and okafor, there aren't any decent offensive threats that are an option in free agency. The problem is, to me, okafor and cousins are severely limited.
Okafor is an old school, slow, low post big whose abilities don't really help this team considering our playstyle. We'd have to change our system to fit him, which is a no go for me.
Cousins is definitely more versatile than okafor, but his problems are that historically he's been difficult to deal with, injury prone, and his specific injuries have seriously limited his athleticism. I'm not interested in risking our team chemistry for an, at best, role player.
I think we just need to find someone who can do what bradley hasn't been able to do, be aggressive in the pnr, and catch a pass. That alone opens up our offense for derozen and lavine. Ideally, we find someone who can do that adequately while also not being a liability on the boards or defending the rim.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
