Best chance to improve is with trades IMO. We can always dream of a scenario where Brogdon is available and somehow we have something that appeals to Indiana. Hell I'd be happy with Turner and he's a lot more reasonable asset wise. Maybe you use his salary in a SnT for Lauri or WCJ from Chi. Whatever the thought process it's easier to get those guys with JRich under contract then him opting out and us signing someone for room level type money after resigning THJ.

Yeah, that would give Green a little time to develop into that JRich/DWright role. Those two both ended up being bench players and I could see Green elevating to that level next mid-season.
However I wouldn't be overly upset if JRich opts out and we sign LM and then move KP for good young healthy player plus a decent expiring contract. That would provide both youth and some flexibility in FA going forward.
