Hmm not for me to be honest.
I understand that it's going to be harder and things obviously won't all break like we propose in fantasy, but if thats the scenario we are coming away with I'd be a little underwhelmed to meh.
And angry obviously because of trading away Travers. That's a no-no.
For me a successful off-season would be if the following few things happened:
1) Re-sign LeVert, or S&T him for a legit movement shooter SG, or an above average SF that can shoot and defend. Although I prefer to re-sign him for his ball handling capabilities.
2) Get a shooting back up big: via either MLE (Reid or Lyles preferably, or Grant Williams/PJ), or BAE (Saric, Bryant or Eubanks), or I guess trade if nothing else (Bamba).
3) Acquire a legitimate 3&D SF: either via a non-JA trade (O'Neale, RoCo, Prince, Kuzma I guess, well not sure who else could be available, or MLE if it's still available (Strus, Oubre, Craig).
4) Acquire another shooter on the cheap: preferably one with size (Watanabe, RoCo), but if not, than a SG will do too (Garrison Matthews is a great shout, Malik Beasley?, bringing back Green).
5) Think about the backup PG spot: if Rubio looks healthy great, then I'm fine with Neto or a shooting vet. If he's not ready, we should look for someone more sustainable.
Well thinking about your post above, it's kind of the same lol. I guess it would matter to me a lot what level of player we get from each one of those categories above.
In terms of PG, I’d love to bring in a younger player that could potentially be here long-term. As a Bobcat I always have a soft spot for Jason Preston. He hasn’t had much chance to play in LA. He’s in the final year of his rookie deal so maybe he could be had for cheap.
I’d be looking for someone like him that could work with Rubio and is tall enough to defend both guard positions. He was a good shooter in college and has played well in the G League, just hasn’t had much opportunity yet as a pro.
