To me we are not in a position to get new players this season:
1) If we trade for a soon-to-be Free Agent (like Bogdanovic) we have no money to throw at him, and we have to accont in our books Doncic's future max extension.
2) Most teams in the league have better trade assets. To me the ones we could try to trade is Lee, 2nd rounders and THJ (even though I would like him re-signing here on a fair deal like 8-10M/year). Maybe Jackson if we had to throw a young guy.
3) Our need right now is another defensive minded wing/forward who can score at least 10 points. It is very hard to find those. Covington, Draymond and Holiday are out of reach. Ibaka and Ingles don't fit our timeline. Players like Smart (BOS) and O'Neale (UTA) are too short to guard the opponent's wing. I would rather have our guys improve with chemistry than trading for Aminu/Crowder/Porter.
4) This final piece is so hard to find that most of our rivals in the western conference also doesn't have that 3&D wing.
Our next big move should be on 2021, when the THJ + Lee money could land us our final piece of the puzzle. We already have locked a great young core: Luka/KP/Powell/Kleber/Wright/Curry/DFS/Brunson
Intresting pieces to keep an eye for 2021 (Forget the big names): Anunoby (TOR), Isaac (ORL), Richardson (MIA), Oubre (PHO), Porter (CHI).
