    Doing this will give @Reeko heartburn.

    Got to have him sipping tea in comfort on game day.

    I’m assuming a broken heart after they replaced his translator…

    Christopher???? He's going to spend the year in the G League. How about Dante Exum? Have we already written him off?

    Thanks. Didn’t realize we had a fortune teller on this board.

    Are you not being the fortune teller in this post? I'm just saying Exum is an experienced veteran that I'm sure will get time over a rookie like Christopher, even if Gordon is traded. We just gave Exum a nice contract to play.

    Do you not understand what qualifiers are? Saying “I could see” isn’t a prediction. And Exum’s contract is a hair above the minimum before incentives.

    Yes I understand what qualifiers are. I also understand that saying "I could see" IS a prediction. Anyway I'm not going to argue with someone that clearly doesn't understand how basketball works. It's ok to dream, you must be a Christopher only fan or a relative. We will see when the season starts where the minutes are given.

    Yes. We were bad last year. We are incredibly young and inexperienced this year. I don’t know much about the Turkish league, but I’ve heard it’s the second best international league.

    It’s not like college teams. These are all professionals.

    Yes. I have no idea why Exum is even on this team.

    Rotation should be KPJ, Green, Tate, Wood, and Theis starting. Gordon, House, Nwaba, Augustin and Sengun off the bench.

    Guys like Exum and Brooks likely only hit the floor for injuries or if the game is out of hand late.

    Salary-matching purposes if/when a trade needs to be executed.

    Stone signed him to a Human TPE contract.
    Don’t think of it as the player (necessarily), but the tradeable contract. Not everyone would sign that contract.

    I don’t think JChris matters too much this year and wouldn’t be surprised if he gets tons of minutes leading the G League team. Also wouldn’t be surprised if he get a few bench minutes.

    Playing all 4 rookies in the NBA might be a tall order, unless we start moving guards like EG and Augustin.

    When was the last time we had a tall back court? Gotta be some years now.

    Tall is good.

    Tall AND skilled is better.

    Got to improve defensively to take this duo to an elite level.

    I agree but was just curious because we've never had a starting 6'6" point guard before...at least one that I can remember in the past 30 years.
