Trade & FA 2024-25:

Micic + 2024 2nd round pick from Houston for THJ + 2025 Toronto 2nd round pick + removal of the top 2 protection on the Washington pick.
That should give us some wiggle room for DJJ and maybe even a S&T of Smith for Powell + Lawson.

Micic can share the back-up PG minutes for the next two years with Exum, while we finally put Hardy and Green in their proper off ball positions. I want to see Hardy play 25-28 MPG as a SG early in the season. He shot 40.7% from three in the play-offs, got his regular season number up to 36.2% after an atrocious start, but his 2pt shooting percentage is still awful. Take the ball out of his hands, but feed him three after three. Once people respect his 3pt shot, he has a nice little escape dribble  mid range jumper, but damn if he tries to get all the way to the rim. Build his game from the outside inwards.

I think if they go for a cheap backup PG, its more likely to be a vet than somebody with 1 year of NBA experience.
