Acquisitions the Clippers should look into this off season?

First, we have to think that DJ won't get the max. He's been in the league for a year longer than Blake and his max contract would be higher than Blake's, which in a way would be saying that DJ is more valuable than Blake. I would be happy if he got around $15 million a year, which to me seems about right. As for players we should go after, I think we should prioritize defense over offense this offseason. Because of protections, we will have a second round pick for this draft so hopefully we can trade Hawes along with the pick somewhere else (maybe Philly or Boston). We still need a Small Forward, maybe two since Barnes isn't getting any younger. I think we should still try to trade Jamal for a 1st rounder since he's going to be 35 going into next season, and then trade that pick for Wilson Chandler, unless Denver turns down his team option, then we'll be able to go after him in free agency while his stock is low because of his bad play under Brian Shaw. I think we could still upgrade our shooting guard position with a defensive minded 2 guard. Wes Matthews stock is going to be low after his injury (I know, too soon), but he gives you Redick's shooting plus defense. I think would should also go after KJ McDaniels who will be a RFA. When you look as his numbers, remember that he is a rookie so they will get better, plus his defense is already pretty good. If we get two defensive minded 2 guards then we could also trade Redick for a first, which now leaves us with two firsts available. I don't know if Phoenix would ever go for it, but we could try and trade the two firsts (If we can pick up Chandler as a free agent) for the Morris twins, who would fill the backup SF and PF spots. They make $13 Million COMBINED over the next 4 years. As for the point guard spot, we still need a pass first PG like CP3, who is relatively young and willing to learn. I think Kendall Marshall could fill in that role well. He'll also be undervalued because of a torn ACL that ended his season, but was playing really well in Milwaukee shooting 45% from the field and 39% from the 3, while averaging 7.4 assists Per 36. The center spot would be filled nicely by Ed Davis, a defensive minded 4/5 who is having a great season with the Lakers, averaging 8.3 points on 60% shooting in 24 minutes, as well as 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. The depth chart would be CP3/Kendall Marshall, Wes Matthews/KJ McDaniels, Wilson Chandler/Marcus Morris, Blake/Markieff Morris, DJ/Ed Davis. As for the chemistry aspect, I think we should keep Big Baby, Dahntay Jones, Matt Barnes and try to get Willie Green back, hopefully all on vet minimums. The point is to try and sign undervalued player and to increase the defense, which I think all these moves would help with, while keeping the "Big 3".
