Then you resign iHart (who is currently 25 years old) and keep Capela for another year (has 1 more year after this season at age 30) or trade him in a different deal. And in the next season or two you look to add a young big through the draft or elsewhere to play with iHart.
Or we could not, keep Mitch & Grimes, and use Fournier's contract + picks on something else
I'm not saying I would. But that's one option.
If we can't get a star player, I think the right player/fit is a healthy Malcolm Brogdon. He spreads the floor, gives us a bench scorer and someone who can backup/play next to Brunson. Plus, he can eat up all the important minutes of Grimes/McBride for the playoffs.
Then you can run it back next season or use him in a trade to get a star.
Fournier, 1st round pick, 2 second round picks for Brogdon
or Fournier, Grimes, 1st round pick for Brogdon
I'd prefer to Keep Grimes for depth/asset.
If we can also get another big to backup iHart, that would be helpful as well.
After that, maybe the team has enough to make it to the eastern conference finals.
