Trade & FA 2023-24: Sexton On the Market? | ORL Likes Hartenstein?

[Chicagojk]

I see zero reason for DJJ or PJ to be moved to the bench next year. Both have been great this season and in the playoffs. Both players have shot higher 3 point percentages in the playoffs than in the regular season. Both players increased their ppg in the playoffs also. That's exactly what you want from your role players is to elevate their games when it matters the most. Hardy and Maxi  have also raised their 3 point %. The only need for this team is the right type of role players to add to the team or possibly a 6th man if we don't think Hardy is ready for that role. I personally think Hardy is ready for that role. It's more about retaining all our top talent and improving if there is a chance.

I think Jones would look somewhere else if he isn't guaranteed a starting spot.  I think he has earned it.  

We will see how the finals go.   I think unless a move that we can't turn down presents itself, we will see mostly the same team next year (hopefully with DJJ).   Count on continuing cohesion and internal development.  Maybe Hardy jumps into the regular rotation as a 22 year old and at some point we start seeing Omax later next season.   

Looking at other teams, I feel like the older teams that are capped out with limited draft picks are like drug addicts trying to find that magical final piece.    The Mavs very well may be better just keeping their 25 and 26 first round picks and trying to add and develop youth.   In the new CBA, it seems like teams get in trouble when they lack that cheap labor with upside.
