    1. KPJ
    2. J. Green
    3. J. Tate
    4. JT Thor
    5. C. Wood

    This lineup is sleeper good and a lineup that's young and can grow together with time.

    I would imagine the "locks" to start (with the roster as-is):
    • Wall
    • Wood
    • Porter
    • Tate

    After that it gets questionable. Is Wood traded before the season? Are the Rockets aiming to go small? I doubt Green/Mobley is starting day 1. Olynyk would seem to be the leader for that fifth spot, but also could be Gordon or even Nwaba, though I personally think Olynyk, Gordon and Nwaba are more impactful off the bench).

    This is what I want, too, but it’s starting to look like Thor isn’t going to fall to 23&24 and I stand by not trading both to move up so we get 2 shots there with so many decent players still available

    kpj/dj (wall bought out)
    Green/brooks (gordon traded eventually)
    Tate/nwaba
    Wood/Kmj
    Olynyk

    still undecided on olynyk, but I think the team keeps him if he’s cheap because it’s face saving

    picks other than green—-any 2 of tm3/vrenz/Mann/butler/bones/garuba/Duarte

    Kevin Porter jr............Wall / Khyri Thomas
    Jalen Green................Eric Gordon / (Scottie Lewis early 2nd rd pk acquisition)
    Kenyon Martin jr.......Tate / House
    Wood..........................Garuba or Thor
    Olynyk.........................Bassey

    13 active roster players per game

    *Wall/Eric Gordon each get 24 minutes coming off the bench to build trade value

    Odd men out: DJ Wilson, Augustin, Avery Bradley, Armoni Brooks

    Remember we are developing a young team! Sorry but we will try to get rid of all the older players with the exception of
    Olynyr. The starters will be a group of young players.
    We have so many shorter players, although very talented, we need some
    tall players with strength and talent ,, especially if we are going to win the Championship.!

    Sucks but…

    Wall
    KPJ
    Gordon
    Tate
    Wood

    Green 6th man or sum dumb ish

    I would prefer the youth movement. We need to trade EG at minimum to free up time. If we draft Mobley or Green - each needs to start

    Kpj is coming off the bench as long as Wall is here and healthy. Gordon is starting alongside Wall.
