Record
38–28
Cap space
-$12.4M
Need
3-and-D wing

Elite catch-and-shoot wing who slots into the starting five without touches. Cap hits match with a single mid-size contract.

Incoming
Jalen Brooks ($14.6M)
Cap-hit delta
+$1.5M

Fit
Rim-protecting rebounder on a bargain expiring deal — the cheapest route to interior defense on this list, with a 121 offensive rating on low usage.
Outgoing
M. Cole ($6.4M) + T. Ruiz ($3.0M)
Incoming
Dario Petrov ($8.9M)
Cap-hit delta
-$0.5M

Fit
Veteran frontcourt depth and switchable defense, but 12 seasons in and at a $19.5M cap hit this is a win-now-only move.
Outgoing
G. Hastings ($13.1M) + K. Odom ($5.8M)
Incoming
Cole Whitfield ($19.5M)
