Well framed discussion.
My favorite addition here would clearly be Tobias. But that requires some serious selling by DL and DM and Tobias not loving Philly or Philly not loving Tobias. It would also require us putting up some big $$$ that other teams can clearly put in front of him. None of us are super optimistic.
If we can't lure Tobias and then I would be thrilled at a combo of Malcolm OR Jrue and Mirotic. I think that Malcolm comes cheaper than Jrue because we just have to sign him instead of trading assets for him. I also think Jrue is the better player. Mirotic is finally a FA and I don't see why he doesn't want to come if we offer a decent contract. There is a good fit. He is wanted here. And he wants to be here. Not a lot of fuss to make that happen assuming all of those rumors are true.
I also think that Rubio can be had for a bit less than $12 million per year. People value shooting so much and Rubio for $8 million seems like a steal vs. Rubio for $14 million. I could be convinced to keep watching Rubio for years to come at the right price for the team. But I don't think he is the right fit.
Finally, if I were to shift the chart on page 4, I would do the following:
1. DM, Exum, ___
2. ___, Korver, Allen
3. Ingles, Royce, ___
4. Crowder, ___, Niang
5. Gobert, ____, Bradley (stays because he is bench fodder at the 5 with years invested and almost no cost)
The biggest shift is that I move DM to the 1 much like the Rockets did with Harden. I can put a point guard with him who plays combo guard but I increase my DM time with the ball. I am now focused on a combo guard. A combo of Malcolm, Danny Green, and Mirotic would be sick if money and stars aligned.
