This is likely if LeBron isn’t back next year. In this scenario, they would probably draft a guy like Henri Veesar, and they traded Vanderbilt and Knect to get off of their salaries, for a big FA offseason. They get their big for the future in Kessler, lock down Reaves, re-sign Smart, and get a premier defender in Lu Dort. Ideally they would also dump Laravia’s contract somewhere in this scenario.

Rotation would look like: Luka Reaves Dort Rui Kessler (Smart, Keon Ellis, Jaxon Hayes, Veesar, Aduo?

Thoughts?
