    KPJ was so good at point we drafted one 4th overall and hired another with a max contract. Brutal week for Porter-only fan.

    Assumption:

    FVV - Green - ??? - Smith - Sengun
    Amen - Porter - ??? - ??? - Another/FA

    Possible options:

    Porter I guess
    Eason, would be my choice
    Martin, plz trade plz need center plz
    Tate, also trade candidate but imo they don't want to trade him. Versatile rotation player on a decent contract.
    Dillon Brooks, if signed
    Cam Whitmore (would be absolutely stunned if he earned even rotation minutes this year)

    Assumption 2:

    FVV - Green - Brooks - Smith - Sengun
    Amen - Porter - Tate - Eason - (F/A, Plumlee?)
    Wash - Chris - Whitmore - Garuba - (Martin)

    Assumption 3:
    FVV - Green - Eason? - Smith - Sengun
    Amen - Porter - Martin - Tate - (F/A, Lopez?)
    Wash - Chris - Whitmore - Garuba - Someguy

    My choice right now would be Tari. Hope it's not Dillon Brooks...

    If you believe the reports then the answer is definitely Dillon Brooks. That's what Woj and all the insiders are reporting. But if we don't land Brooks then it's Tari/Whitmore.

    Obviously KPJ

    Tari has to be able to make a basic lay up before he can start

    Probably Dillon Brooks so that the Rockets can form the worst shooting team in the modern nba

    IMO the easy answer is Tari, as the roster is currently constructed.

    Do we have enough money left to get both? I thought with the contract we gave FVV we can only afford one of Brooks/Lopez

    Sengun is a center so who else is Jabari’s competition at PF?

    No….its one of the Brooks but not both.

    They have $25 mill left that they have to spend.

    Unless Brooks takes $12 mill and Lopez gets the rest.

    For one, that isn’t true. FVV will start for sure based on contract.
    And it seems like there has to be a player type to start instead of the best 5 players
