4. An external PG idea? I've looked at at Lonzo Ball for Hardy-Powell (where the money is a slight savings) or for Martin (close to same salary). His ball-handling and defense are pluses. But his reliability health-wise scares me, as does his bad shooting, and they probably push me away.

Good call.  There is reporting that they turned down a 1st for Lonzo at the TDL (or possibly a first for second swap).  I could see what you are proposing on draft night (but not executed until the new NBA season).  Many won't like giving up the first, but Lonzo is killing the on/off numbers on a mediocre team.  He's +5.1 overall, but +9.5 as a 20 minute reserve and -3.1 as a starter.  He also fits the timeline in terms of his contract.
