As I said (I thought clearly), Jackson is expiring filler. He sits well behind Bridges and Johnson on their depth chart. They don't have any young lottery pick backups behind Rubio and Booker. In fact, the team dies when Rubio leaves the game. They absolutely need a proven option at third guard.
They do have some tough decisions at PF and regarding cap space. Baynes and Saric both expire. They can spend $20-$25ish on someone to replace them (Wood, Milsap, Gallinari?). Or, would it be smarter to sign a stop gap to a one year deal and hold cap room to 2021.
Dunn is an interesting question. I was surprised that the Sir Charles article had him a multi-year at well above the MLE. I would have thought you could get him for the MLE or less, but if it ends up being more than that, then a S&T is obviously necessary. I don't think you can start him and Powell as that would kill spacing. Dunn and Maxi? What did you do with Wright in your scenario?
