I'm not the biggest DLo fan, but if something like this actually happens, it slots the TX MLE guard as a backup.

Flagg           (DLo)           BWill       Irving
Thompson    Christie        Hardy
PJW             Martin          
Davis           Naji             OMax
Lively           Gafford        Powell

I've kind of envisioned the stopgap PG starting and holding down Kyrie's spot.  But, that might not be true if this comes to pass.  I suspect Christie closes (he was already doing that in front of Thompson last season some).  The question is who moves to the bench when Kyrie returns?  

One note on the Exum speculation.  BWill is not guaranteed.  So, absent a trade or eating a contract (not likely), Exum instead of BWill might be the path.

I know I sound like a broken record, but...looking at what you're proposing, it would feel significantly better to me if you moved PJW to the bench (or Lively, but that won't happen), traded either Martin or Marshall, moved DLo (or whomever) into the starting lineup and had Williams and Hardy compete for the spot you have DLo in here. Even better: throw another player in the Marshall or Christie trade (O-Max, Powell, Hardy - whomever) and bring Exum in to compete with the DLo guy to see who starts and who comes off the bench.
