    I don’t mind it tbh, the days of everything set in stone are over.

    Udoka has seemed very reluctant to change the starting lineups the past two seasons. He seems to enjoy having a group of 5 players develop chemistry. I don't see a quote on Udoka saying he will switch it up, and it seems to be Binkley 's opinion that he might change starters as needed.

    I'd guess Udoka picks a 5th starter and goes with him. I'd go with Tari. I think Stone wants JSJ. I think Udoka will pick DFS.

    Training camp should decide it, so I like the strategy. In any case, it also should maximise all the talent on the floor at all times. Jabari is clearly the best, but does he make the most sense? Is he better served off the bench? DFS is a less risk taking Tari with a better 3pt shot. So I’d think Tari is the least likely.

    This is exactly the right thing to say. I love Udoka. Let them fight it out.
