Conley is a legit quality two way player and Gobert/Mitchel are stars. This means basically two out of those three need to be upgraded.This has been my contention all along. All these posts about keeping the 5th-9th best players for a contender when we don't have 2-4 permanently. Figure out the 2-4 (I don't think KP is it for us, but he, combined with some of our 5th-9th guys can get us at least 2 of those guys). We're thinking of this building thing so backwards.
Keep THJ cause he can be the man as a 4th best player off the bench.
Keep Kleber cause he fits so well and is such a likable guy.
Keep Powell cause of his lockerroom presence and community service.
Keep DFS cause his contract is so much cheaper than his production.
Keep Boban cause Luka has no other friends on the team than him...
Keep KP once he shows to play better cause there is no way he'll get seriously injured again.
This is not the team guys. This should be a revolving door til we find THE pieces at the top! Then fill in the rest. Quit falling in love with mediocrity.
All this and my thought is Luka as the #1 then we need 2-3 #3's (who cover all needs skill-wise) and a couple #4's, then fill in.
