I really don't think adding another one-way scorer to our starting lineup is the way to go. We need a guy that's confortable coming off the bench, can play with both Kyrie and Luka, and generates loooks for himself and others. That eliminates guys that won't buy into this role like Herro, Lavine, etc. IMO the guy that fit what I'd want for our bench microwave would be Brogdon or McCollum.
A sneaky target I have since they got eliminated is Middleton. Played great in their series without Giannis and did what he could.
Green/Hardaway/'25 1st/'26 swap would be my offer for Middleton.
Hard to see MIL settling for this, but they could turn fillers/#23/#33/'25 DAL 1st into better fitting players for Giannis/Lillard.
Doncic/Exum
Irving/Hardy
Middleton/TMLE/Lawson
Washington/Kleber/Prosper
Lively/Gafford/Powell
We have to rely on our youth, but I'd really trust this core for a re-run.

We just paid a whole lot of money to a guy that went 9-29 (31%) on FG and 3-20 (15%) 3-pt% in both our win or go home elimination games last couple of playoffs. SMH
