Not sure why we would spend our remaining assets making a really good offense better and ignoring a middling defense at best (which is what options 1, 2 and 5 would do). That is not a route to contention. The top priority on a shooting guard next to Luka is a high level defender that does not hurt you on offense (both Wright and JRich have already failed that second part). It would be very helpful if that player could take some play making duties off Luka's shoulders. A final bonus would be if that player could create, but guys that fit all three of those are max contract stars and I don't see a path to getting one of them.
I could see an argument for Conley and Lowry being ahead of Brogdon on that list, but the timeline does not fit.
I strongly disagree here...I think our offense is good to win games in the regular season but its not as a good as it needs to be for a playoff run. You also have to limit Luka's usage rate and have a secondary option when teams throw double teams at him.
Our team is fucked if Luka has to miss any length of time.
