Our team will go from average to good. Not great, nor elite. We can be great if Lillard pans out and becomes a viable starting PG (in which I think he will) But we need another player. If we sign Hibbert to the max, then re sign Batum or even sign and trade. Who can we possibly get to help this team go to great or elite status and compete in the playoffs? Remember he has to be in Aldridge and Hibberts age range for the future 21-29 (no aging vets) preferably indicating what Olshey said.

How much cap space will be available? Who could we snag in free agency with what is left, or what are the most realistic targets we go after in trades? Assuming Batum or Matthews can be trade bait. We need a viable scoring option who can create for himself and be solid in the fourth. But who Portland? WHO?

And please don't tell me Ewill. I'm tired of hearing that one.
