Brief 2026 In season plan:

Ideally, Joel gets healthy. If he can and the team shows potential at a deep playoff run, Harris' contract can be used to upgrade the forward position to make a playoff run. If Joel is not healthy, or Joel is healthy but the team does not show this potential, then Joel should be traded ASAP for any assets they can get(if possible, although it may not be if he is injured), and the team can tank for a high 2026 draft pick.
