    Use the expiring contracts to improve. Finally those contracts will be potentially powerful.

    39 million (Turner,Leonard,Harkless) all will be in their last year of current contracts next season.

    I just don't get how that's any different than what they did previously where CJ would go out early and come back with the 2nd unit. Dame plays almost 36 minutes a game, that only leaves 12 for CJ. On top of that I've felt like CJ's ball hog issues are worse when he's with the 2nd unit. For some reason if Dame is playing CJ can't play like a lead guard even when Dame is not in.

    Layman isn’t a given if he keeps playing well through playoffs. Scalma- would you match $70 million over 4 years for him? We might have to make a decision like that again.

    In response to thread title: get a better coach. Seriously, that's the ONLY way this team can get significantly better. Not gonna happen with a draft pick, probably won't happen via big-time trade, and certainly won't happen through free agency.
