• Poach Kel'el Ware from MIL by giving the Mark Williams package or more assets.

• Slightly overpay a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson (Klutch client / former UCLA - make him force Denver)

• Re-sign all Rui, Smart, Hayes for the right value

• Sign Rob Williams for discount (former Smart teammate + chance to have valuable role, injury concerns)

• Sign Quentin Grimes for MLE, Keon Ellis or Matisse Thybulle for BAE (other one will get increased vet min)

• Sign Jonathan Isaac for vet min

• Make LeBron take a pay cut (was fine taking a pay cut for the likes of Klay, Harden, Valanciunas before)
