    Don't change the starting lineup.
    Scorer off the bench.

    Yeah it's probably the most realistic obviously. I think the pipe dream of getting Green from Phoenix is not even close to a reality

    My qualifiers, sooner rather than later, if it is a "bigger" deal. Give them time to gel. Rather not wait until the trade deadline if there were a bigger deal to be had like the ones you posted, moving Nic, though not a huge fan of those personally.
    Ideally, don't touch the starters, outside of a huge upgrade or a no brainer type of deal.
    I'd love at least one bench piece, a guy who can come in and be our SG/SF Kaman.

    TO add, I think naturally, you initially look for higher priced guys, and teams that are awful and potentially either looking to blow it up, or, move a guy to continue their rebuild.
    A few "lesser" bench guys who are on bad teams, rebuilding teams, or could maybe be available, I'd call and ask about
    Jodie Meeks, Gary Neal, Kevin Martin, Wilson Chandler Arron Afflalo, Marcus Thornton. Some more than others.

    The guy I'd like to see on our bench is Afflalo. Will be interesting to see if Olshey stands pat at the deadline. Wouldn't surprise me.
