Trading Bradley and Turner would clear things up, even if the return is minimal.

Thornton will likely spend the year in the D-League (or perhaps pull a Colton Iverson and go abroad).

The team is weak on the wing, but it doesn't look like there will be anybody particularly exciting on the free agent market, unless Orlando is open to a sign-and-trade of Harris.  I'd re-sign Crowder and then give Hunter and Young a chance to earn minutes on the wing. 

I expect the team to shrug off some of the excess depth (e.g. Bradley, Turner, or one of Sullinger or Olynyk) and either acquire or sign a center who can compete for the starting spot.  Perhaps Cody Zeller (via trade) or either Kosta Koufos or Bismack Biyombo (via free agency).
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

I expect crowder and jerebko to resign.  Pressey  and babb to be waived. Pressey will likely head to europe or something

Smart, Isaiah, Bradley, Young, Rozier, and Hunter will all battle for playing time. Plus we will probably bring back Crowder and Turner is still here. This is awful. The front court makes a little more sense I guess. What a bad draft.
