This team will explode once we get one or two more of players with offensive skills at this level. Bojan Bogdanovic would fit amazingly well on this team. It is clear that THJ and RG are not a fit. Powell, Maxi and DFS are great glue players that are important to keep, but for the team to get to another level we need one or two more multiple skills players.
Except our problem isn't offense, it's defense. As evidenced by the fact we are 7th in offensive rating (I'd say a few players have some room to increase their shooting efficiency, maybe increasing this ranking), and 22nd in defensive rating. We only think we need more offense because our defense is so bad and we can't keep opponents scoring down to reasonable levels. I'd rather pick up someone with a more balanced offense/defense skillset, than someone who's all offense unless they are a genuine superstar. I'd take Bogdanovic, but I'd not give up the assets they would likely want for him in terms of FRP's and maybe someone like Green, who's become pretty critical to any defensive stability we have, or even Hardy who IMO should be part of a trade for a better and younger player, or kept and developed. They probably aren't taking any other players we can afford to lose unless we attach more than one FRP I would think. If we could get him cheap for some of the bad fits in our team then sure.
