Personally I'd start with Demar and Casey.
I assumption is that Casey is gone after this season. I'd look to the assistants on the Spurs and Warriors to replace him. Luke Walton is 12-0 and Becky Hammon would be a very cool story.

If Casey lasts the season with them playing like this I lose all faith in Ujiri. Not that I have a lot to lose. I don't think he has put his stamp on the team in any significant manner. Yeah he got them out from a couple of bad contracts but otherwise he has just shuffled support pieces. Problem is they don't have anything to build around. I suppose they could achieve some success with a totally team orientated offense/defense but Casey is way too dumb to pull that off. Guy just keeps going to the same well over and over and over with the same results.
The team is better on defense. Leading very much to a situation where they should be running a ball movement, control type offense. Cut down the number of possessions and take efficient shots. Cut on your good defense to keep you in games. Coach should be very much dictating exactly what he wants on offense. No iso. No hero ball whatsoever. Yet he thinks he has actual starts that can win games.
Lowry and DD aren't that good. In fact I think if they get moved we will see how much of a GM Ujiri is because I don't think the return is going to be underwhelming.
Casey needs to be gone. It ain't workin!!
