So we do need some real internal development to get back to championship level talent - that is Cooper Flagg has to get better each and every month, but also Lively has to stay healthy and start expanding his offensive game while learning how to be even more dominant defensively from - and together with - AD. Max Christie has to develop into a very good two way guard by learning a lot from Klay and Kyrie.
Then there’s the chance that we trade two or three of our good players for a really good one, that fits better next to Flagg, AD and Kyrie - for example Gafford and Washington for a very strong shooting guard, without having a specific guy in mind right now.
It will be a fascinating season, even if I‘m not sure it will be a really successful one. Maybe next year will be our best shot with this team, we‘ll see.
