While the team showed positive signs throughout the campaign — enough for them to trade for All-Star center Nikola Vucevic — they also showed that it will take significant steps for them to become a viable playoff team.

Given how thin this year’s class is expected to be, they likely won’t find a superstar who can paper over a lot of those problems, but there are still some intriguing names who could provide the team with some positive production.
