The bench should be fine, in my opinion. The bench will now have Patterson, Abrines, Felton, and Grant, which makes for a solid 9-man rotation. When the Thunder go deeper then they will have to go to some unproven guys. But more than anything, Donovan should be staggering Russ, PG, and Melo's minutes so one of them is always on the floor.

Or, if we want to get crazy, there's already some rumors about adding D-Wade if he is bought out as is expected.

Two guys who have been regular starters on good teams and two guys with tremendous upside and potential to become starters free or somewhere in the future.
