In a perfect world:
Luka 28/Hardy 12
Kyrie 28
Klay 26/Grimes 20 (8-9 at SG)
PJ 28/Naji 18 (9-10 at SF)/OMax 6
Lively 22/Gafford 22/Maxi 10 (4-6 at PF)
I still think that the biggest holes on this team are another PG type creator to take load off of Luka and a PF to keep Maxi limited the issue for finding those role players is that we are discussing 9-11 roles on the team. I do not want Maxi playing a single minute of meaningful time at PF
I would say not only is Exum coming back, he's getting plenty of minutes next season. Also Im perfectly happy limiting Grimes minutes given the injury he had. Playing Exum too many minutes during that stretch last season was a big reason why he got injured again and wasn't quite the same afterwards. I think we probably now have enough depth that we can do a much better job limiting everyone's minutes that arguably need their minutes managed due to age or health issues. We'll have the season to figure out what to do then come playoff time.
