    I don't think anyone really knows yet what the minutes distribution will be, because I don't think Udoka himself has even decided that, but this looks like the most realistic prediction I've seen yet. Way better than Jake Fischer's speculation. It does leave Jeff Green and Aaron Holiday with zero minutes off the bench though, in reality I'd expect them to get situational bench minutes and everyone on that list to average slightly lower mpg totals as a result, but that's nitpicking at this point.

    KPJ, Garuba, TyTy, Josh Christopher, and one unprotected FRP and one SRP is wayyy better than what the Wizards got in Gallo and Tyus Jones. Wizards are likely waiving Gallo anyway. They want to rebuild, so all they want is young talent and picks.

    Tyus Jones alone is worth more than bench scrubs. What unprotrcted frp are you talking about? Rox don't own their pick the next couple of years.

    Amen: [ B-/C+ ] should have moved back for more second round picks.
    Would've had enough to trade Tate for a bag of chips like we did with Kenyon, TyTy and Garuba
    Cam Whitmore: [ A+ ] Top 5 grade picked at #20.
    The risk-reward is less at pick #20.
    Dillon Brooks: [ B- ] need was decent 3-pt shooter x spacing over defense.
    I know Ime wants defensive minded players, but no spacing with
    F V V slowing the PACE forces our offense to go up against set
    half court defenses.....with no spacing teams will pack the paint
    and force our facilitators to make passes in the paint with smaller
    windows of opportunities.
    F Vv: [ F + ] F for fire R Stone. Patrick Fertitta still has a fascination
    with micro short guards. As I mentioned before FVv likes to slow
    the pace to reduce turnovers and so he can get the assist. Doubt
    Ime will be ok with either. You can't tell KPj to pass quicker without
    doing the same to FVv. Poor shot taker and Inefficient chucker.
    Leads by running to the media to rip his teammates.
    Jock Landale: [ A- ] a lesser version of Poeltl. Knows his role and
    once he gets it, team will benefit from his screen and rolls.
    Aaron Holiday: [ B ] yet another 6'0" guard. Probably signed
    to guard fast guards like Maxey, Ja Morant, SGA, Fox, Trae,
    DeJounte Murray, etc because $43m FVv can't.

    I had a dream last night; well more of a nightmare. I dreamt that we signed Dillon Brooks to a 4-yr $80 mil deal, fumbled away a good chunk of our free agency money, traded away most of our non-core players, including KJ and a 1st rounder we drafted just last year, an got nothing. I also dreamt there were folks who didn’t think it was that bad. Truly freighting.

    im looking forward to compartmentalizing my frustration and disappointment at our front office, and focusing on summer league. Escapism will help distract me from the reality that we have a contract lawyer and the owner’s sun running our team poorly.

    also in my dream, people were trying to excuse the front office incompetence by blaming it on Lopez: a 35 yr old on a championship team who cares more about winning than money, and was always gonna be a long shot to sign.
