21 players

Someone will get waived before the season start.

 

Wow kinda just hit me reading that list, who is this team??

 

6 players would have to get waived or traded before the season starts. Not just someone.

 

Simpson is already off to whatever country wants him I believe. Let's see -- adios Jon Brockman, Courtney Fortson, Greg Smith, Gary Forbes, Sean Williams.

So yeah, that was easy.

 

I'm pretty sure at least one of Brockman, Smith, and Williams makes the team. Patterson and Motiejunas won't be able to man the 5 for long stretches if Asik gets into foul trouble or hurt.

 

boss.

 

Not that Im an advocate for this trade, but he would make sense on the basketball court due to his low post scoring which is desperately needed.

 

C 3 Aşık, Ömer
F - Brockman, Jon
G - Douglas, Toney
C - Harrellson, Josh
F - Johnson, JaJuan
F 6 Jones, Terrence
G 1 Lamb, Jeremy
G 7 Lin, Jeremy (C)
G/F 12 Martin, Kevin
F 2 Morris, Marcus
F/C 20 Motiejunas, Donatas
F 25 Parsons, Chandler
F/C 54 Patterson, Patrick
F 30 White, Royce
G/F Delfino, Carlos

 

What a horrible roster!

How is this the work of a genius GM after collecting assets for 5 years?

 

My Prediction:

Jeremy Lin - G
Toney Douglas - G
Kevin Martin - G
Jeremy Lamb - G
Carlos Delfino - G
Chandler Parsons - F
Royce White - F
Terrence Jones - F
Patrick Patterson - F
Marcus Morris - F
Omer Asik - C
Donatas Motiejunas - C

The Other 3 players we add are irrelevant. I say Harrellson, Smith, and Williams.

 

Josh Harrellson's contract becomes fully guaranteed tomorrow. We will find out soon if he makes the team.

 

Tnx for the info, hope he's cut though.

 

It's exactly the work of a genius GM collecting assets - all guys on favorable rookie contracts, some with upside, some with less and one veteran with a large expiring deal, plus two young RFA's with upside acquired in the offseason from cap-strapped teams.

 

i see mchale using two big forwards when asik is out of the game. it's not a bad way to make sure the young guys get minutes.

donuts is 7 feet tall and hes going to have to learn to play tough if he wants a career in the nba.

throw them out there to the wolves. it will crush a few of them... and a few will become real nba players. and those are the ones we build around.

 

And not a single superstar to be found.

 

I know this is all built for positioning ande most of these guys are meant to be around in the future, but I think it's going to be interesting to see how they develop this year. No expectations on how good they will be or how many wins they will get, just a serious interest.

As for the direction of the team, we have no choice, we are all along for the ride... Just hope it's becomes more of a Texas Cyclone type ride soon instead of the Hollywood tour we are on right now.

 

Well I count ten I expect to be waived, so maybe there will be some more free agents signed.

 

Sorry, had someone walk into my office and I hit reply before proof reading. Meant I know most of these kids are NOT meant to be around in the future...
