So there core will be
PG Beverly
SG Leonard
SF George
PF Morris (or Ibaka if you want to go big)
C Zubac
with Williams, Ibaka (or Morris, not sure who starts), Jackson, Batum and others on the bench.
That seems like a contending team to me. I think Paul George will be fine. He scored 21 points on 16 shots with 41% 3 shooting. I know he was bad in the playoffs but he is still a good player. Is he any more overpaid than Kemba Walker, who was even worse in the playoffs? It is just what you have to do these days.
I wonder if they get anything out of Batum? He was once a pretty good player. All they need from him is to come off the bench and play decent for, what, 15 minutes?
