After this, look for a movement to consolidate in depth... something like Holmes for Nick Richards/Martin?
I think OG makes this team a level better pretty quickly. He is uniquely able to help in both areas of desperate need: 1) helping to cover for Luka/Kyrie on perimeter D and 2) being physical in the paint. He can play either forward spot - can hang with ball-handlers in a big defensive lineup, and can play bigger than his size in a small ball defensive lineup.
My only reservations are about what it would COST. Tough for me to come off of assets that could make a big difference in a later deal when I feel like O-Max could be doing all of the above in 2-3 months, or at least by next season.
