I think their defense will not be good enough. Perhaps, if they can get a very good wing defender with the Vando trade. But I don't think Kuminga is it and I doubt they can pull off anything else.
It will be interesting what happens after this season. I think if they will be very far from OKC and SAS this season, Luka trade for record haul could be very much on the table. They will simply not have avenues to improve this current core. In this case I think the new owner should fire Pelinka and start from scratch. Only trading Luka could enable a swift rebuild.
