Besides Bargs - this looks very possible. Seems like we'll be a little better, but non-playoff bound without next year's pick. Our defense looks really bad, especially upfront. Makes me want to draft WCS just so we don't get abused defensively every night. Hoping Winslow can be a solid SG, so Melo can stay at the SF position. Monroe will help with post and passing, but we have no intimidation anywhere. Given this is a possibility, should we go a different direction with our picks or signings?
Definitely Thannis will be a part of the team
That's right - forgot him. He'll definitely help with defense and intensity!
13 guys back from a 17 win roster..Phil would be roasted..
So you think the only FA they sign with $28M cap space is Greg Monroe?

Yeah they will get someone else. I also think they will do something on draft night, minimally buying a second round pick. I wonder if Harris becomes available if the Magic draft a 3/4.

Replace Winslow with Russell or Mudiay and yes it is likely next years roster give or take.
Well I hope they do more, but Phil said they were going to add slowly and not go for a homerun this offseason. Resigning Shved and Bargs at low deals, adding Monroe, signing the 4th pick - not sure they will do more. They could use a point guard, but not sure who they would add (assuming they draft a wing/forward) via free agency. If this is the roster returning, who would be a good, cost-effective fit to add to the backcourt?

I don't have a problem with bringing a lot of the players back (they are bench players who had no business starting), the improtant thing is the 3 new key pieces we add (2 free agents and the lottery pick)- get all three right and we may make the playoffs, get one wrong and it's going to be another long season.
