    Great decision to waste roster spots on Ryno, Gerald, and Nene. Terrific stuff.

    Have to play Anderson or Clark. And Hartenstein if Chandler sits.

    I bet Thabo or Ben starts.

    our glaring hole and lack of length at the 3/4/5 is about to become even more apparent.

    Thabo is capable for a few games.

    Russ
    Harden
    Thabo
    Tucker
    Clint

    DEFENSE should be rock solid.

    Remember when Gary Clark was contributing last year? How about we see that again.

    Hopefully Clark comes back and locks up the backup sf spot, this rotation is ridiculous

    Thabo will probably start but i'd put Clark in the lineup and see what he got. Frazier is also a Gordon kind of player so, wouldn't mind giving him some of those minutes, although i guess Mike will eventually play Clemons over him.

    This is on Morey, Tilman and MDA. Good luck winning with a midget roster. We haven’t had decent size since Rudy T was still a coach and I’m not joking. Morey’s biggest flaw might be going for undersized rather than valuing proper bigs.

    Yeah not liking the looks of this at all. Hoping House isn’t out for long because he’s been a real defensive spark as well as providing better than anticipated offensive production. We could be in real trouble if he is out any significant period of time. Rivers can adequately cover for Ego’s loss and to a lesser extent House for a short period but man if we have to rely on any of our other bench players for bigger mins the offense is going to suffer and more load is going to be placed on Russ and Harden to drop 25/35+ every night, don’t see that happening w/ Russ consistently

    Rivers
    Westy
    Harden
    Pj
    Clint

    5-6 man rotation here we come

    In all seriousness, it’s early in the regular season if this isn’t time for thabo , Macklemore , Clark , Tyson , Clemons, and Hartenstein (at least a few of those guys) to step up and in then they are just deadweight.

    Sign Lance Thomas, then small trade with MEM to get Josh Jackson and Bruno.

    Westbrook/Rivers/Clemons
    Harden/McLemore/Frazier
    PJ/Jackson/Thabo
    Bruno/Thomas/Clark
    Capela/Tyson/Hartenstein

    Above roster can compete until Gordon and House are 100%. Very small moves, although it would require dumping Nene, Ryno and/or Green.
