The "picks" part would help if 1 or 2 of the rookies shows out well (which then we'll have many on the board not wanting to move them). They can have their pick of 1 of the 2 promising rookies and 2027, throw in a 2022 pick swap which makes it "3" firsts.
THJ extension
Resign Richardson
Probably better than a max deal for Gobert or Oladipo.
I wouldn't be upset with a Gobert or Oladipo acquisition, but I believe there are better options out there.
One other thing. As far as Tobias Harris is concerned. TH vs AG the players heavily favors TH right now. Once you insert age and contract is where AG becomes the better option.
I'm of the opinion that we don't need another star level creator for this team though. We need guys that CAN create, and maybe 1 more high end creator in the Derrick Rose mold (not a star, but can create with the best of them, this could prove to be Burke though).
I think with Luka and Brunson, we have our guys that are the floor generals. Would love to see JB be able to move in the direction of being able to play off ball more so he can get more time on the court (just get that 3% in the 38% or higher range).
We also need more Shawn Marion, sneaky, lul you to sleep, then cut to the basket for the oop type players.
I like what we have to work with in who we picked up this offseason. Defenders who might have a few of these skills in them, or can easily be taught them. The season will show us how well they can do it, then we need to retool with upgrades.
Always small upgrades with players on reasonable contracts. That's how we can fit in the big time players when they say "YES".
