Crowder and 1 of Favors or Ibaka would be good vet starter additions when also adding 2 rookies. Not a big splash offseason, but solid pickups to give the current group a vote of confidence and keep continuity.
Since Crowder gets the MLE from us (not positive he gets that), SnT Wright for Favors (going 4 years MLE to beat NO offer that they don't want to give). NO gets a ball handler after trading Jrue.
I like keeping our picks in the draft and getting Isaiah Stewart and Cassius Stanley.
Luka/JB/JJB (farewell season)
THJ/Curry/Stanley
Jae/DFS/JJ
DFavors/Super Glue/Stewart
KP/Powell/Boban
I like the balance of this team with guys in backup roles that CAN start for periods of time when the injury bug hits, or just take lots of heavy load off the starters throughout the season to keep them rested by playing heavy minutes. We also have 2 guys that can guard heavy hitters in Jae and Favors when we get to teams that have 2 big men starting or in with the starters so KP can guard the wing as needed. Lots of defense in that group as well as plenty of offense. Also, one of the most important pieces, the best bench in the league back in their rightful positions doing what they do best. Also a healthy mix of veterans and youth.
Minutes distribution something like:
Luka (32)/JB (18)/JJB (6)
THJ (28)/Curry (22)/Stanley (8)
Jae (24)/DFS (24)/JJ (8)
Favors (24)/Super Glue (24)/Stewart (12)
KP (32)/Powell (when he gets back and going 16)/Boban (10)
