iHart / Mitch
Randle / Precious
OG / Hart
DDV / McBride
Brunson / Rokas
Then we draft three young 3&D prospects and let them develop in the background and fill-in for injured guys here and there. That's still a 55+ win contending team when healthy and we wouldn't have to make any major trades until a great one presents itself.

We also need to find someone in the draft that can fill in for OG. Easier said than done but hopefully we can scout a guy who will be able to bring some defensive intensity and versatility that Anunoby brings. Considering the guy is going to be missing 20-25 games per season we will need an adequate backup for him. Hart is great but too small to guard multiple positions.
It's fine not to like him, but I still can't understand the logic that Randle isn't a legitimate 2nd option. He was well on his way to another All-NBA team. He was playing exactly what we all wanted to see from him (bully ball), he still commanded double teams, he was reading the doubles better this year. I don't know what more you ask of him.

Randle is a legit 2nd option in the regular season thus far. The rap he has to shake is whether he can show up during the playoffs. Both years we were in the post-season he was terrible. Until he plays well when it counts there is going to be legit reason to doubt his ability to deliver under real pressure.
That said, IF HE DID perform in the playoffs at the same level as he did in the regular season, then yes he'd be a legit second option.
