What do you think are the floor and ceiling of this team? How high can we realistically climb and how low can we fall? What grade would you give them at the moment, even if it’s just 14 games in? Are we in dire need to make a trade as soon as possible or should we wait another month and see how things develop with the current squad?
We are a Looney type big and a long defender like Jalen McDaniels away from being a contender in my opinion. I think we should use Hardy or Green and maybe picks to solve one of those issues. We have so many guards right now and only two can play defense (JG and Exum). I think Exum is more of what this team needs as currently constructed than Hardy.
I know everyone wants to keep Hardy, but to upgrade you are going to have to give up something to get something.
