This is one we have agreed on... I think if we really wanted to we could do a Crowder #23 for Kelly and #13 swap around the draft. Waive Kyle and Neto if we needed the extra few million to get cap space. I think Kelly could play with Rudy and would allow us to go 5-out with a backup center... the defense will suffer, but he's not as bad of a defender as you would think... the advanced metrics on him are really positive... He's a flopper like Illyasova so those guys can get stops occasionally that way.
Olynyk is a really good fit. He's like Favors with worse defending but better shooting and playmaking ability.
Olynyk is part of my Justise Winslow plan. I think any play for him would happen in July. If we miss out on the big guys and we waive Favors who leaves, then we offer our cap space and either a 2020 1st or 2021 1st to Miami for Winslow ($13 million), Olynyk ($12 million) and one more player; we could also take Waiters ($12 million) or James Johnson ($15 million). I don't want Johnson, but if we had to take him, I wouldn't include a 1st. We could look for a 3rd team for Waiters if we didn't want him.
