So if it was next summer, the easy solution would be:
PROTECTED
1 Luka
2 Klay
3 Marshall
4 PJ
5 Maxi
6 Omax
7 Lively
8 Gafford
UNPROTECTED
(Lawson if not waived this summer)
Powell
NOT IN THE EQUATION
Kyrie, Exum, Dinwiddie, Grimes, Hardy, Morris
How does that work for somebody like Grimes who would be restricted and potentially somebody you want to hold onto?
