I agree PF is the position of need. Olynik is an interesting name. But Theis does bring stuff we lack with his toughness.
Assuming this team is just not good enough to be a contender, it doesn't really make sense to run it back. You have to increase the ceiling. Although to be honest, I doubt free agency is the place where we would be able to really do it. Even if we manage to land Collins as best young player. I guess the only real option to raise the ceiling is retool by trading KP. Last time I had a "challenge" if we sign Markkanen and Holmes as bigs in FA, which KP trade can bring best guard upgrade. Now we could do it the other way around. Let's say we keep THJ and JRich. Which KP trade brings best C and big wing combination? But to be honest, I just don't see this as an option. Team looking for a KP trade is probably a team looking for a center.
