Tari
Cam
Reed
FA (3pt Shooter)

 

FVV, Amen, Cam Johnson, Giannis, Adams

Probably actually FVV, Green, Amen, Brooks, Sengun as no trade is the likelier than any trade, but I'm think Giannis and a shooter if there is a trade.

 

Sengun, Amen, a good playmaking pointguard and two shooters.

 

Durant trade plus retool:

Poole

I would replace FVV and Jabari for SGA and Giannis

Am I doing this right?

Okay, all joking aside. This one is actually kinda tough. I don't really love the FVV/Jalen/Dillon/Amen/Alpi lineup we were starting--not enough shooters, and the shooters aren't good enough, and as much as I think Amen can play 1 through 4, I'd really prefer to see him in the backcourt. I think I want to see Jabari back in the starting lineup, and one of Fred or Jalen to the bench, with Amen taking their starting spot and a big chunk of their ballhandling duties.

Which of those two that should be, I don't know. I know some posters want that to be Fred, but despite his down season, I still think he's a better jump shooter and a better playmaker than Jalen Green. I think that if he comes back, I might rather Fred continue to start, but play fewer minutes and play off the ball more often; and Jalen come off the bench in a 6th man role for around 28 minutes per game.

What makes all of this even trickier is the prospect of making trades or free agent acquisitions. We should definitely add a really good jump shooter this offseason, the question is just what position and whether that guy starts or not and who goes out in the trade (unless it's an MLE free agent). I suppose all of that would depend on the player.

 

Tyus Jones
Ty Jerome
DB
Amen
Sengun.

3 40% shooters with Amen & Sengun.

Jones & Jerome are both free agents.
Decline FVV, trade Green for no returning $$
Resign Adams.

 

An offensive assistant coach. That’s the most important
