I think I prefer being opportunistic if the right deal pops up, but I prefer a simple, but harder to pull off offseason. The Hardaway contract is the big ? that can make everything more complicated.
1) Trade Hardaway without giving a major asset
2) resign DJJ- He is not perfect but lets not hide how important his role is to the current team. Maybe he is someone you look to upgrade that starting spot moving forward. But don't try to get rid of good, when you hope to find great.
3) Sign Gordon Hayward- He was awful in OKC, but I think he would work really good here off the bench. Can you find him 20-25 minutes though? I thought he was pretty solid in Charlotte, right? OKC just didn't work out and his stint was so bad that some teams may discount him. I think there is still something there.
4) Look to see if they can buy a pick in the 40's. From what I understand, second round picks are more valuable with the new CBA. So maybe picks will not be for sale because of this and the 3 G-league spots. Regardless, look to see if there are any buyers. A pick in the 40's is probably a two way guy anyway. Try to beef up the two way spots. We have at least 2 that should be open. If not, just pick someone interesting at 58. It is the longest of long shots that pick turns into anything. Just don't pick a 7 foot Indian guy for marketing opportunities though.
Dallas has their 25 and 26 first round picks. I believe they also have their own second and the Raptors second next year. The Raptors second could be a top 40 pick. Maybe next year, we think we would rather keep our picks and look for young talent. Or maybe we move a pick. Depending on how our internal development goes may help us determine which way we want to go.
