Oh no doubt. Theres 15 roster spots Bev/Ennis/Payton Harden/Gordon Ariza/KJ/Brewer Anderson/Harrell/Wiltjer Nene/Capela/Nanu That leaves 1 spot open for DMo, Hairston, Taylor or brown (lol) I may be forgetting somebody? I dont believe so...
Prigioni... Bev/Prigioni/Ennis Harden/Gordon/Brewer Ariza/KJ/Dekker Anderson/Harrell/Wiltjer Capela/Nene/Nanu That's 15 not counting Donuts, Gary Payton. (The rest will be cut...)
Real playing time is only going to go to about 8 or 9 players. The rest are insurance. That means 6 or 7 players are just sitting on the bench/ practice opponents/ trade chips. Don't stress so much about them they are only going to see garbage minutes in D'Antoni's system.
To complete my point, here's who is going to be playing: 1. Harden 2. Anderson 3. Gordon 4. Ariza 5. Nene 6. Beverley 7. Capela 8. / 9. Brewer / KJ / Ennis (2 of those 3)
Just being realistic. Even Nick Johnson had simmilar talent. After traded from Rockets he hasnt been in NBA since.
Im scared that running a 8 man rotation in reg season wont work. Ryan and Eric arent very healthy players. I need dantoni to run a 10 man rotation in reg season and bring it down to 7-8 in playoffs
