I'm still assuming our pick lands in the 8-12 range and the Dallas pick lands in the 14-18 range.
With our own pick draft Corey Kispert. He's not a big upside guy but he addresses a need that we would have to overpay for otherwise. Look at guys like Joe Harris and Davis Bertans. You can't get shooters like Kispert without paying 15-20 mil a year.
Sign Derrick Rose to a bloated 1-year deal. I'm not a fan of Rose at all, and obviously things didn't work out with him before, but under Thibs I think is the one exception for being in favor of bringing him in (as long as it's for free as a free agent). It allows us to start Quickley as his shooting is badly needed alongside the starters, and replace his shooting/playmaking off the bench with Rose, who fits that role well these days.
I'll also resign Burks and start him, and use the second first round pick for a developmental PG or wing, depending on who's available.
C Robinson / Noel
PF Randle / Toppin
G/F Barrett / Kispert
G/F Burks / Rivers
PG Quickley / Rose
There's an improved 10-man rotation. Knox, Brazdeikis and the 3 other rookies would round out the roster.
