As Luka gets back to being Luka and KP is about to return, I wonder if we should really expect some big trade in-season or even a big signing in the summer. I suspect we'll see a nine man that includes:
Bigs: KP/Powell/WCS/Maxi
Wings: DFS/JRich/THJ
Handlers: Luka/Brunson
You still have Boban, Johnson, Green and Burke on an as-needed basis. It is certainly possible to find someone to replace pretty much anyone outside of Luka and KP, but at what price? Pretty clearly they were willing to replace Brunson with Haliburton. Pretty clearly they were willing to replace WCS with Gasol (when such a move cost them nothing this summer). I'm just finding it difficult to construct anything more than a kiss your sister largely lateral move. I'm not sure those are worth the disruption. I'm starting to wonder if we don't just run this group out there all season.
