    This team is much deeper than previous years and MDA really has no excuse for not playing 10-11 players leading up to the playoffs. Everyone is a seasoned vet that MDA can trust.

    WB/Rivers
    Harden/McLemore
    House/Gordon
    Covington/Carroll
    PJ/Green/Thabo

    It’s going to be tough for MDA to find all of them minutes, but I am stoked about how deep and experienced this year’s team is.

    The key thing is that this deeper roster has allowed MDA to load manage Gordon and Westbrook and reduce Tucker and Harden's minutes.

    Absolutely agree. That’s why I said “10-11 players leading up to the playoffs”. Everyone knows that at least 2 of those players minutes will be cut during the playoffs. Those minutes will lead to a heavier workload for Harden, WB, Gordon and PJ but they all should be well rested and ready to go for the playoffs.

    That looked effortless, thanks to an excellent pick by Rivers that took out 2 Celtic defenders just long enough. Green is a great size for those lobs and looks like a smart player to me. Hope to see more lobs in this 5-out offense. With a lot of ball movement, and we've seen an increase in that, there should be more opportunities for lobs, in my opinion.

    Green and Durant are the last 2 former Seattle Sonics still in the league.

    If somehow this was a plan to stick it to Nj, where he gets bought out, and then runs off to houston next season to compete after seeing the rockets take the Lakers to 7 games in west finals and not making it, it would be next best thing 2 getting to the finals. lol Dream scenario thou....

    I think some players like Gordon may not 100 healthy, better sign a backup who able to shoot for his position and that player better able to play for 2 to 3 positions to avoid cp3 injuries case in 18 western finals for the lesson learn

    At this point, I want to sign all the former OKC players. Maybe Durand and Serge.

    My bad. But he mentions signing someone when the roster is full and CP3 injury. Makes no sense.

    CP3 injury in WCF was due to not having a deeper bench.

    Luc, Nene also injured going into playoffs.

    So Elmo is saying sign some more playable players to give Rockets a better chance. Right now Rockets have 3 roster spots allocated to players who are ill fits and completely unplayable with new system.

    Tyson, Harty, Clemons. Elmo is saying use one or all those roster spots.

    Am I on right track @elmotsang?
