I think we draft someone like Kevin Porter. Zion would be a great dream, but no guarantee we get #1 or 2. Knowing our luck, we draft 5 or so. KP may be back in March/April and we may win some games then,
"Young" core
Porzingis
Knox
Porter
Frank
^ a free agent that can play with a group like that.
Don't think Klay would be it. Think we need a versatile big forward. KD not coming in my opinion.
We should look at Julius Randle. Young, good rebounding, can defend, versatile. Sign him to a 4/60M type of deal.
We should look at Ricky Rubio.
Porzingis
Randle
Knox
Porter (OR RJ Barrett if we draft at 2 or 3).
Frank/Rubio
Full rotation:
Randle/Robinson/Kornet
Porzingis/Thomas
Knox/Lee
Porter/Hardaway
Rubio/Frank/Trier
That lineup likely makes the playoffs in the East is KP is healthy. Most important, it's a competitive YET young team that can have many players still improve such as KP, Knox, Frank, Randle, Porter/Barrett.
