The only thing I think they might do this season is trade Powell with some minor sweeteners. Or perhaps the plan is to sign him for BaE level contract next season and use as a third string center. I doubt any team would offer him more. Dumping Bertans for less money is also something I can see they will look for, but will have trouble finding.
I think there will be two general directions next season:
1) Upgrade the second guard spot with an "all-in" kind of move (basically THJ minutes and some SD minutes)
2) stay under the tax
I agree. I also hope eventually they get a bigger third creator and use Hardaway plus picks and other to make it happen. I expect Hardaway is here all year if I had to bet though.
He is not available and there are not many of him, but I mentioned a few weeks ago a guy like Paul George here would be ideal. So while George may not be available that is the type of player who would be perfect. It would really make this team a beast. Having a bigger wing who can create, play off ball, and guard would really bring things together.
