Looking towards the playoffs - the one thing I think we'd need to add would be another capable, big-body defender who can match up with who we know who stands between us and and a title.
Royce is solid but can't guard two guys at once and can't guard for 48 minutes. Someone who can play 8-10 spot minutes and at least make life a little more difficult on LeBron, George, Kawhi, or Durant could be invaluable (i.e., change 1-2 possessions from a made bucket to a missed bucket).
Is there another big, long, serviceable wing/forward defender who we expect to be available via trade or buyout over the next month? At this point, I don't even care if they can shoot or not, and I figure if they can they'd be way too expensive. We've got shooting out the wazoo and could still put 3 great shooters on the floor even with unnamed potential addition + Rudy/Favors on the floor.
Anyone have thoughts? Other than the obvious (another stretch big, another vet PG, more shooting, etc.) that's all I can think of that would be a feasible addition that may be a big plus in the WCF or Finals.
