Thought experiment...
Let's assume when everyone is healthy that your top 9 rotation players in the playoffs looks like:
Ball Handlers: Luka/Brunson
Wings: THJ/JRich/DFS
Bigs: KP/Maxi/Powell/WCS (you have to keep four given KP's injury history)
That's it. No changing the top nine. There is a Top 70-80 player available at each position to be had by trade. You can replace one of our top 9 with that guy. Don't worry about the money. Don't worry about the trade specifics. There is someone available who can be our third best player (but not a star) and the other team will take our guy and something outside our top nine as compensation.
What one player is the one most in need of replacing with said Top 70-80 player?
