Lot of work left

Aloha,

I posted awhile back of all the names available we had the best shot at Westbrook. In my mind it’s pretty simple, if we can find shooting and perimeter defense, it’s a great deal. If we can’t I not sure. So what needs to happen?

First it’s really important that we return some of our vets. Wes suddenly becomes very important. He is a very good defender and while he had an off season shooting, if he can bounce back to normal, we might see him in the starting lineup.

Next I think Alex is will be back. We have already lost two of our best defender so we can’t lose a third.

I’m pretty confident that THT will be back. He would be very hard to trade. If he receives an offer sheet we can match but we can’t trade him then. I’m sure he will continue to improve. It would be a good year to see a big next step.

I think Morris is another guy we will want back. With Kuz gone There are going to need him back.

It would be great if we can find a trade for Dennis to bring back another quality player. The two teams mentioned most have been the Bulls and the Knicks. The Knicks have cap room so it would be a disaster if he signed with them. The Bulls probably would need to trade to get him.

Now I know we are not supposed to be talking to free agents wink wink nod nod but I wonder if the Lakers have a line on a player that might sign for the mini mid level. The one thing adding about Westbrook it might attract a player willing to take a little less, like perhaps a Nick Batum. Regardless, the next few days will be extremely interesting.
