    I think KJM is going to be traded to the Nets for Claxton who will become our backup center.
    Before Gordon trade:

    Starters:
    KPJ
    Green
    Gordon
    Jabari
    Sengun

    In rotation:
    Nix
    JC
    Eason
    Garuba
    Tate
    Claxton

    Garbage Time/RGV
    Matthews
    Ty Ty
    Nwaba
    Queen

    All Dallas guys bought out or shipped
    Lamb gone

    After Gordon trade:
    KPJ
    Green
    Tate (Eason is going to get the Sengun treatment)
    Jabari
    Sengun

    Nix
    JC
    Eason
    Garuba
    Claxton

    Same garbage time. Really hope we can make some 3 for 1 trades or salary dumps somehow especially Gordon and Tate.

    Rockets better trade for Tybull
    Gordon / Josh for Tybulel or Gordon / future pick for Tybulle

    Starting lineup would be
    Sengun
    Smith
    Tybulle
    Green
    KPJ

    And go all in for a play in push!

    Thybuille can’t shoot. You’re just replacing Tate with another Tate.

    Whats wrong with Eason starting? Eason upside is much higher. Give him as many mins as possible. Not winning this year anyway so let the kids run the show

    I think most likely it'll be

    KPJ
    Green
    Tate
    Jabari
    Sengun

    But I'm hoping by the end of the season it's

    KPJ
    Green
    Eason
    Jabari
    Sengun

    KPJ / Christopher / Nix
    Green / Gordon / Mathews
    Tate / KJ / Eason
    Jabari / ???
    Sengun / ???

    Not sure who they're going to keep from the Wood trade, but seems like we should keep at least one of Boban or Chriss to have a warm body to play the 4/5. I'd rather just keep one of those guys and let them expire next season than do some Theiss-like signing. I'm sure there will probably be some small ball shifts with Gordon/Matthews maybe playing some SF and Tate/KJ/Eason playing some occasional 4.

    But man, I really like that starting 5. Thinking TyTy gets some time at RGV. I hope Eason has a progression to get more minutes as the season goes on, but the only way I see him starting is if Tate gets traded. Tate is just too solid.

    I'd restructure that a bit

    KPJ/Nix/Titty
    Green/Christopher
    Tate/Eason/Mathews
    Smith/Garuba
    Sengun/Boban or FA C

    Why no Boban/Sengun/Smith lineups? :D

    Porter-TyTy-Nix
    Green-Christopher
    Tate-Matthews-Nwaba
    Jabari-Eason-Garuba
    Sengun-Boban

    And hopefully a center signing.

    No. 1 Priority is still developing Jalen Green. Having other players be in the right position will help Green. Also, Green plays better with space. I think Eason is going to overhaul his shot to give defenders less time to contest.

    I’m not saying this is Day 1, but I get excited about this:

    C Sengun 6’10” Point Center
    PF Jabari 6’10” can guard 1-5
    SF Eason 6’8” can guard 1-5
    SG Jalen 6’5” can score at will
    PG KPJ 6’5” can score at will

    Offensive Lineup:
    KPJ
    Green
    EG
    Smith
    Sengun

    Defensive Lineup:
    Gordon
    Tate
    Eason
    Smith
    Garuba

    Notice only EG and Smith made both list.
    That's why I don't mind keeping EG, he's one of the rare 2-way player we have besides Smith

    19 players under contract for the upcoming season. I wouldn't be surprised to see the players with unguaranteed money (Garrison Matthews) being waived before Tilman pays people to walk away.

    First Off Get rid of GORDON, GARUBA, NEWBA, WALL.
    The owner might have to pay of Walll and Gordon before the start of the season

    STARTERS
    C Free Agent Center
    PF SMITH
    SF EASON
    SG GREEN
    PG PORTER

    BACK UP PLAYERS
    C SENGUN
    PF MARTIN
    SF CHRISTOPHER
    SG QUEEN
    PG NIX

    EXTRA PLAYERS
    MATTHEWS
    LAMB
    WASHINGTON
    TATE
    FERNANDO
    SENGUN so far has not shown he is capable to play a starting CENTER,
    possibly he might have improved a whole bunch during the off season,
    WE will just have to wait and see! Y

    Alp has absolutely shown he’s capable of playing big minutes and being a key contributor. Stop with that nonsense
