I am not sure if a big move will present itself. And to be honest, this front office gives me no hope that they won't be royally fleeced if they did make a big move.
So, I would like this front office to have an honest take of where they are. Sure, it would suck to be in the playin game or miss the playin tournament after last years run and one of the best players in the league on your roster, but the mistakes were made already. No need to compound these mistakes.
I would like to see a move (maybe 2) where a year from now we think we made a good decision. Probably nothing huge but just a smart move (or two). Hopefully they are for younger players and not guys in their mid 30's.
I made a comment in the game thread that I would know a lot about this front office to learn what they really think about Dinwiddie. He is a good player. He just doesn't move the needle for me. Do they think he is part of the core? Do they want to resign him in a year? Do they view him as a starter? Do they think he is eventually a heavy scoring guard off the bench?
My fear is they thought he would be an upgrade over Brunson and still think he is one of the guys they want to build around. If that is the case, this thing is not going to get better.

Or that he is part of the future with a contract extension. And if the plan is to keep Wood, Spencer is even more useless. Getting rid of Wood, because he isn't making Luka + SD work, is a big mistake.
50 % of the NBA season done. Which playoff team has a worse defensive perimeter duo in basketball than Luka and Spencer?
Dinwiddie/Bullock/McGee for Quickley/Reddish/Fournier/Hartenstein
IDK if they would do that with Fournier included. But you get 3 younger faces where 1 might at least be valuable for the future. Without giving up a pick. Fournier might work out better next to Luka too.
I am ready for some new faces. Fournier contract doesn't even look as bad with the team option. And you have a huge expiring. His contract = Spencer's contract.
