Get us a tall young 6'8" 225lb wing with great defense and a superb outside shot and court awareness for team ball. Oh and don't give up any of our quality role players that finally know how to play together with good chemistry.
Honeslty standing pat with our role players is probably the play here. They are playing well together, setting screens, moving, passing. The ideal player we need is not there for what we are willing to give up in terms of guards and wings.
I like Levert, I like Merrill, I like Niang, Okoro, Wade, and CPJ. We will sign CPJ to a 3 yr 10 mil deal. But in addition to Strus, Garland, and Mitchell, that's a lot of guards. There is rotational space if we continue to treat Wade and Niang as modern day stretch 4s.
What we do actually need is to sign a vet 6'10" 250+ 4/5 with defense and respectable midrange. I don't know if we have a roster spot. Levert is probably the casualty to bring back a strong big talent now that we have Garland to do ball duties when Mitchell is out. Levert's ability to create action and shots when we have an offensive drought is very needed though, especially if DG goes down again. We need that slasher in the playoffs. So instead of going for upgraded big, let's just go cheap bargain bin filler big and keep Levert and the depth.
Otherwise, in conclusion, we are good.
