    As long as no one from Dallas-reject list, any 5 is OK for me.

    I agree, they would be waived already if not for Houston
    hoping to use them as salary filler in trade.

    They were all filler. These people shouting for Boban is pretty entertaining (as is Boban in any capacity outside of a basketball court).

    .... there's always one kid that isn't smart enough to follow the directions.

    Anyway the answer is

    Nix
    Garuba
    Mathews
    Nwaba
    Gordon

    But I really don't want Nwaba or Gordon to stay with the team, if want them as possible trade filler.

    I expect at least three of the last four to be traded soon.

    Here are the 5 you want (bolded):

    Garuba
    Nix
    Hudgins
    Brown
    Nwaba
    Burke
    Gordon
    Matthews
    Chriss
    Boban

    FYI, Fernando should have been in your final list. No way he should take precedence over FRP and EGo.1

    Fernando on a camp deal that is eligible for a 2-way is very unlikely to effect Gordon, Garuba or Mathews spots on the team.


    I’m going to pick Gordon, Garuba, Mathews, Nix, Boban and Nwaba with Bruno getting a 2-way

    BOBAN
    Garuba
    Nix
    Gordon
    Matthews

    Why is likely starter: EGo... in the bottom five?

    Garuba
    Nix
    Nwaba
    Gordon
    Matthews

    That's my list. The last spot came down to Boban or Nwaba. I don't think either of them should stay but Boban could provide spot minutes as backup center. Ultimately, I think Nwaba stays simply because he has a guaranteed salary.

    Get rid of all Dallas garbage and Huggy. Especially Boban. We're not running a freakin popularity contest.

    Gordon is probably going to be a starter and if he's healthy I think Garuba gets the first crack at back up big minutes and not Fernando.

    So I'm going to swap Fernando with Garuba and move Gordon off of the bottom tier because that doesn't make any sense anyways.

    So with those changes, I'll give 4 names I'd keep and 2 guys on two way...

    Nix
    Mathews
    Nwaba
    Boban



    Fernando on two way
    Hudgins on two way

    Eason - won't start.
    No way TyTy is ahead of Gordon.

    Seems like this is your fantasy game, so only you know what five you want?

    A cold hearted take I feel would look more like this:

    Starters
    Sengun
    Smith
    Gordon
    Green
    KPJ

    Backups
    Christopher
    Gordon
    Martin
    Tate
    Eason

    Next 5
    Nix
    Garuba
    Washington
    Matthews
    Fernando

    Or that is just my fantasy game
