Our defence has been exposed the last few games with us giving up 120+ points way too often. It’s clear our offence hasn’t really been a problem as most games we’re scoring high points.

So what roster changes does everyone want? Ideally a large, elite POA wing defender should be our priority, obviously Anunoby is the ideal candidate but considering his high asking price that might not be possible. Our next priorities in my opinion should be a strong backup centre which can play defence and rebound well. Honestly something that hasn’t been mentioned is a strong guard defender who can come off the bench. As much as I love Hardy I really don’t think his offence is what this team needs.

Any other suggestions or specific players? Does anyone disagree with the weaknesses I’ve pointed out?

    OG and Capela would be my fantasy

    …

    OG and Drummond would be my ideal

    I’d give up any of these to get both done…

    FRP, Hardy, Omax, THJ, Holmes, the twin, Maxi or Dwight, 2nd round picks

    Luka/Exum/Kyrie Kyrie/JGreen/Seth OG/DJJr/JGreen Grant Williams/Maxi/DJJr Lively/Drummond/Maxi or Dwight

    Seth and Maxi become our 10th and 11th men.

    I’d give 1 FRP, Hardy, Omax, THJ for OG as my best offer. Which might not get it done.

    I think some combo of Drummond/Caruso/Pat from the bulls would be great.

    Jonathon Isaac from the Magic would be good as well. He’s crazy but his skill set matches what we need.

    Gallinari from the Wizards would be a cheaper option too.

    I think we make a minor/mid trade after Dec 15 and then next offseason we see something bigger. A sign and trade scenario, return for Thybulle/Ayton etc…

    IMHO there isn’t really a move to make right now.

    Next off season is the moment to make moves.

    We will have 3 FRPs and a few SRPs to trade and the salary of Maxi, Holmes, THJ for trades. Since ideally we will get an elite starting level wing defender, we can also throw in Green (still hoping he can solidify his play). We hopefully can also get a bench backup center via the BAE or a minimum vet.

    We hope that until then Hardy has matured enough to take over part of THJ’s scoring. If we get lucky OMax has further developed into at least getting some regular rotation minutes.

    Any move before then, should be an opportunity where we facilitate a trade and get lucky in terms of high value return.
