The off-season is here. Here's what I'd like to see the Raps do specifically.

1) Sign Kawhi (no need for an explanation)

2) Deal Powell and Gasol. Powell didn't quite have it and frankly seems to have lost that potential he showed a few seasons back. Gasol is older and while he was good in spurts, it's still not what was expected. Who you would get back for them I have no idea, but I think you could look to Ibaka for veteran leadership.

3) Replace Danny Green with dirtbag JJ Reddick. Danny Green was such a good player to have for the regular season and at times in the playoffs, but the reality was he couldn't handle the pressure at times. JJ Reddick would be an improvement in my mind. Now, if Danny has to come with Kawhi, then you do it, but I think they'd be better off with Reddick for consistency.

A lot hinges on Kawhi, so we can only cross our fingers and hope he gives us two more years at minimum. I think a simple retool to get solid players could push the Raps to a back to back championship, but I do think some small changes need to happen.
