Luka/Exum/vet min guy?
Kyrie/Grimes/Hardy
Klay/DJJ/vet min guy?
PJ/Omax/Morris
Lively/Gafford/Powell
This works for me, if true. Klay would have to be ok sitting for the last 5 minutes in games where that was needed, and I'd be very upfront about that with him from jump street.
I can easily see Jones signing for $10 M. Easily.
Puts a ton of pressure on O-Max to bring something to the table in year 2, but maybe they think he's ready. I think in reality you'd see a lot of Klay/DJJ playing together when PJ sits, which isn't ideal from a size POV, but that wouldn't bother me much at all. At least, not temporarily.
