    If we had a dude like Naz Reid off the bench, instead of Jax Hayes, we would be considered in the top tier of Contenders.
    Or, if you replace LaRavia with someone who could defend AND score 10-14 points a night, we would be much stronger.
    Look what happened when we only switched out Cardio Gabe with Luke.
    If that trade didn’t go down, we would be down 0-2 right now instead of the reverse.
    A few dependable, key contributors off the bench make a huge difference in the playoffs.

    I wouldn't mind sending two first for Wiggins or Hart if it means we liquidate Vando and Knecht. One of those first is #25 this year, it's not that great.

    Who knows what can happen. We can potentially get a sweep with Austin playing and we might be resting where OKC might be playing two games and then another grinding it out with no Williams who is out indefinitely with a Hamstring injury.
