Current depth chart is really only 10 deep. For a playoff run, you might want some injury backups but any “improvements” to the team need to take place in the top 10.

The team has been improving their 3pt shot to the point where I am not looking to beat up any individual player.

If I could only make one move, it would probably be to upgrade the wing. Either a SG or a SF. I.e moving Bullock down the depth chart and adding another wing next to Barrett.

Thing is, there aren’t many wings available that would be upgrades.

What’s your one move?

As stated by many elsewhere myself included don't do anything stupid. No cosmetic, bend to the mob, mortgage the future, clog the cap stuff please. That said, if you can do something along the lines of a DSJ/#2 for Rose deal then fine. But I don't really see anything which is better than what we have at any position. I'd actually rather see moves that portend to the future.

Down the road you want to get that guy at PG or SF/SG. No need to rush it in the pre-deadline seller's market.

Oladipo ain't the same player, plus he's a FA this summer. I like Ball, but why give up anything when he's a free agent this summer as well....We need to let the year play out and and re-assess this summer.

The guy I am staring at is Kyle Anderson of Memphis. He has one more year on his contract at 9.5mm. Memphis is sitting in 10th.

He is averaging 13 point with 38% from 3. 6’9 with a 7’2 wingspan. Decent defensive win shares at +1.3. 27 yrs old, so a little older than this core.

Can’t imagine he would be free. But if you could replace Bullock with Kyle Anderson, it’s probably worth something decent.

Yes! He is a top ten passer at his position too, maybe top 7

World Wide Wes gotta earn his keep and convince Kawhi in offseason

Adding Leonard in the offseason would be a coup. My head has been broken too many times though to go star hunting.

I hope the FO/WWw will do their homework and get a feel of the possibility of signing Kawhi in the offseason. If they feel we have a good chance skip entertaining an Oladipo trade and just focus on getting Lonzo here on a reasonable trade package. Just let Bullock, Burks and Frank hold the fort for the rest of the season and hope we can sign Kawhi outright. If that doesn't happen continue the original plan of rebuilding slow and look at the possibility of signing LaVine in the next offseason when he becomes unrestricted.

If we can get Lonzo on a reasonable package, a group with Mitch, Randle, RJ and Ball with IQ off the bench can be a fun and exciting team to watch for years. The only missing piece is the starting SG/SF (Kawhi, Lavine or Oladipo)

Unless they strike Gold on next year's draft and find the starting SG/SF we need. That will be great as well.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I'd be more than happy to take back the Danilo Gallinari for a favorable package from the Hawks. If they were willing to give me a premium first or some combination of protected picks, pick swaps and/or their youth I'd oblige as well.
