I'm going to hope that
1) KP will figure his @#$% out and learn to play. Dude missed like 1.5 years. Then played 12 games (9 regular season and 3 playoffs) before missing another 5 months. Really hope he even becomes just a defensive dude who can hit threes. He basically played 12 games in 2 years. That's tough for a guy who was already more a prospect than a star. Hell, it would be tough for a star.
2) Really hope DFS/Richardson/Kleber can get back and they're just knocking off rust after getting their asses kicked by Covid. Brunson was faster to return and came back good, but he didn't have Covid. Richardson, DFS, and Kleber may just need a few games.
Otherwise, maybe there is some miracle trade. I know the going rate for a star is like 2--6 first-round picks, but maybe we can get Beal for some of Cuban's Gamestop stocks. Who knows? We don't have first-round picks or assets, but maybe we can figure something out.
