    Both Luc and Brew are solid vets. Neither opposed nor thrilled.

    Watch from 8:09 on... He was a matchup nightmare to finish the game and could switch and guard every position...

    Younger Nene would be lottery pick.

    Maybe iHart can fill backup 5 role. Perhaps if coaches are patient and he is allowed to work thru growing pains with real NBA minutes.

    Would trade Nene + FRP to MEM for Josh Jackson and Bruno. 2 young long athletic rim protectors who can run with Russ and James.

    Sign Thabo and Brew as backup wings already familiar with our 2 MVPs plus can also switch D.

    Harden/EGordon/McClemore
    Westbrook/Rivers
    JJackson/House/Thabo
    Tucker/Bruno/Brewer
    Capela/Tyson/Hartenstein or Bennett

    Last spot to Green, Bennett, Clemons or Clark. Is it 15 including the two 2 way players or 15 not including 2 way players?

    Bennett, Clemons & maybe Clark fighting for those 2 way slots. Frazier is long shot.

    l like that trade a lot. Would the Grizzlies say yes to it though?

    Rivers gets lost in the mix with. Harden, Westbrook and Gordon all getting starters minutes The way I read your line up back court is to packed.

    Quick rotation solution:
    Westbrook / Gordon / Harden / Tucker / Capela
    Rivers / House / Jackson or Shefolosha or Bennett or Bruno or Hartenstein or Tyson

    We would support the starters with size and different skill set as needed, letting coach coach his team. If Tucker’s playing time goes over 28 minutes—> coach gets called out.

    Hartenstein & Bruno can shoot (both have size and can still switch while protecting the rim) which gives us a different look —> an adjustment that coach should use, IMO

    McClemore, Brewer and Green
    vs
    Bennett, Clark and Clemons
    I would take the second unit —> potential over retreads. I know Bennett is on his third or fourth team but still has the most potential of the lot.

    I like Frazier over Green and Green got playing time last season.

    Well.. This game was in Utah, so I'm starting to think you asked for video evidence that he contributed, and when I provided it you took no time to look at it. Why even reply?...

    If I were dmorey I’d prob shape it like this:

    Key Rotation pieces:
    Russell Westbrook
    Austin Rivers
    Eric Gordon
    Gerald Green
    James Harden
    Danuel House
    Tucker
    Clint Capela
    Tyson Chandler
    Nene

    2 ways: Bennett, Clemons, McDowell

    Last 5 Roster Pieces:
    Hartenstein, Clark, McLemore, Sefolosha, Luc mbah a Moute

    It blows my mind he's still in NBA discussions. He's like the 5th pick at LA Fitness.

    the only thing u got right is that he’s injury prone...u saying that he didn’t play a lot makes no sense when he averaged 26 mpg for us in 61 games played

    not sure how anyone makes a claim like that and doesn’t understand just how good Moute was for us when he was on the court if they truly watched every game and was paying attention

    he’s probably done now tho, but if he’s actually healthy (doubt it), then he’d be a great addition

    He played really well until the shoulder injury coming down from that dunk IIRC. He wasn't the same after that. Too bad because he was literally the perfect fit there with that team.

    Watch every game, but didn't think Luc was a contributor?... Okay then, I guess we just see the game differently. Nothing more to discuss... I just think it's strange to ask for video evidence, so someone takes the time to post it for you, and you reply that you don't need to see it. You had your mind made up before the post, got it.
