Gasol, Siakam, Kahwi, Green, Lowry ... me like.
The east playoffs are gonna be wild.
Wow. They obviously felt the need to keep up with the Sixers and Bucks but this is a defense that could give the Warriors problems in the finals.
Would be nice to see them add another great perimeter defender.
Wes Matthews is being bought out and has of course lost a step or two, like Ariza, but certainly knows how to play good defense and wouldn't wilt under playoff pressure. I've heard the Pacers want him, but the Raptors could pursue him as well.
I think that with the amount of time off Lowry has had so far (and Kahwi), VanVleet's time will diminish heading into the playoffs. The bench still has OG, Powell, and Ibaka (assuming he's not starting) ... they have a lot of options to go big, or fast, and depth. It should be a fun spring up here!
Jeremy Lin should be a solid backup off the bench.
