    Focusing just in the team changes expected with the news today (more changes may be coming) and not on the contracts, I can see a clear improvement. We should be in the play-in.

    Players who continue: KPJ, Jalen Green, Eason, Tate, Jabari, Sengun. The young core + Tate. Clear improvement just for having 1 year of extra experience, and having Udoka instead of Silas (+ not tanking).

    Changes, 1 by 1:
    Tyty for Amen: clear improvement.
    Nix for Mills: addition by substraction, plus veteran presence.
    Jaygup for VanVleet: no comments needed here…
    KMJr for Brooks: question mark here. But we are adding a defensive all NBA second team member here. Should be an improvement.
    Garuba for Whitmore: not fitting the position exactly, but Whitmore’s upside is bigger than Garuba’s. I still think Garuba should have stayed.
    Kaminsky for Jeff Green: improvement because of the veteran presence and experience.
    Boban for Landale: Landale is an improvement as we can play him more. I still think we can still bring Boban back too.
    Silas for Udoka: no comments needed.

    KJ's advanced stats blow Brooks out of the water, a massive downgrade going from someone who was a 3 point shot away from being an elite role player to the biggest empty stats player in the NBA.

    That was my biggest question mark. Considering the contract, I would have kept Kenyion, and spent the money on someone else
