    PG- Porter, TyTy
    SG- Green, Christopher
    SF- Derrick Jones, Martin or Tate
    PF- Smith, Eason
    C- Sengun, MoBamba

    Honestly, I think we can trade Tate and Garuba. Buyout Wall, sign Derrick Jones from Chicago and sign a Center(MoBamba) with our MLE

    Need EG gone. Love him but needs to go.

    KPJ/Nix/TY
    Green/JC
    Tate*/KMJ*/Eason
    Smith/Tate*/KMJ*/Gruaba/Eason
    Sengun/FA*/Grauba/Boban

    ** Tate or KMJ likely won’t be here come season opener. With the KMJ rumours last week, depends if he demanded a trade or just wanted to see if his role was going to grow and if not be traded. Either way that most likely makes Tate starting SF.

    Think we should sign a C that basically just rim runs/play above the rim and can potientally be a shot blocker. Just as a different look as the bigs we have don’t do that.

    JC should be 6th man, if they wanna have 3 guard line up don’t see why KPJ, JG & JC can play together. Play making by commitee, add Sengun into that mix.

    A lot of folks saying they want to trade EGO; unlike Wood, he’s a great locker room presence. We need at least 1 adult in the room so at this point I would love to keep him, at least to start the year.

    I know KPJ is our starter but my only depth chart wish is that TyTy gets a lot of run with Jalen, Jabari, and Sengun. Would love to see a more natural distributor with those guys.

    No way 2 rookies start and we're 1 white girl putting too much pressure on Gordon's groin from being the youngest team in the league.
    Said this in the Tate thread but extend him and sell him on the super sub role. He could easily outdizzy his way to 13pts in 28 minutes from the bench.
    We loaded!
    Sengun :16ppg/9 rebounds/ 5 assists
    Jabari Smith :14 ppg /7 rebounds/ .04 assists
    Gordon:13 ppg / 20 foul complaints
    Thriller: 23ppg/ 4.5 rebounds/ 4.2 assists
    KP: 17ppg/ 7 assists/4.4 rebounds/ 0 food fights

    KPJ(31mins)/Christopher(17mins)
    Green(32mins)/Gordon(16mins)
    Tate(20mins)/KJM(20mins)/Gordon(8mins)
    Jabari(30mins)/Tari(18mins)
    Sengun(31mins)/Garuba or FA signing(17mins)

    I want to get Nix or TyTy in there, but the Rockets have this damn attachment to Eric Gordon. EG averaged 29 minutes per game last year. Hopefully, it will atleast get cut to maybe 24 or less. With Silas, i doubt it.

    Scooter/Nix
    Jalen/Josh
    Eason/Jae Sean
    Jabari/Garuba
    Sengun/Fernando

    Mathews, Nwaba, Queen, FA, FA = end of bench guys

    TyTy to the Vipers while we kick the tires on Nix. KMJ gets his wish to be traded. Gordon is traded. Wall is Wall.

    Porter - Green - Tate - Smith - Sengun
    Nix - Christopher - Eason - Martin - Garuba
    (Wall - Gordon - Mathews - Nwaba - Boban) veteran bench trash brigade
    Washington to G league? Someone's gotta go.

    The state of our veteran bench trash brigade is nightmarish. Absolutely an anchor to the growth of this team.

    I know this board is going to kill me BUT I think Smith is better at this stage as a 3. If we would have kept Wood, we would have had real size in the front court.

    C- Sengun 6'9
    PF- Wood 6'10
    SF- Smith 6'10
    PG- Porter 6'6
    SG- Green 6'6
    SG- Green

    Don't understand the KPJ hate. Last yr was KPJ's first yr playing the PG position full-time. That position is similar to playing QB in the NFL.

    I thought he played better towards the end of the yr.

    It's too bad we didn't get Kenneth Lofton Jr. Would have loved to have seen us roll out the All-Jr Team.

    P.G. - TWJ
    S.G. - KPJ
    S.F. - KMJ
    P.F. - KLJ
    ...C. - JSJ

    Notice Jabari got Twice the J these other dudes got, and that's no lie.

    We just got a massive upgrade at the 4 on both sides of the ball; especially defensively. Jabari is the best shooter and one of the best defensive players in this draft. While I think Paolo was the better prospect, Jabari was the better fit. He is going to play so well next to Sengun.

    Long term, if they play Tari at the 3, and that depends on Tari continuing to improve his shooting, a starting lineup of Sengun-Jabari-Eason-Green could be one of the most well balanced, highest upside, 2-way lineups in the league. If KPJ can stick with the team, even better.

    With EG and KJ (who I hope will be traded) this is the 15-man roster. I do think we will add someone with our mid level exception.

    Sengun/Garuba
    Jabari/Garuba/Eason
    Tate/Mathews/Eason/Nwaba
    Green/Christopher/Mathews/Queen
    KPJ/Nix/TyTy

    Trade EG and KJ

    I think Eason and Ty will be in the G league mainly until February.

    KPJ/JC/Ty
    Green/Gordon/Nwaba
    Tate/Matthews/Eason
    Jabari/KMJ/Garuba
    Sengun/ Back-up C in FA

    lol Wood is gone and for good reason. Being 6'10" means nothing if you can't set proper picks for your guards and can't give consistent effort on defense because you're too worried about your statlines.
