Starting Lineup for Game 1. I think this is what it should and will be: Wall Green Tate Wood Theis Line Change (I think this is what it should be): KPJ Gordon Nwaba KJ Sengun I think it's likely House replaces Nwaba on the second team, but I'd prefer to see Nwaba. I think Augustin and Armoni will get plenty of playing time due to Wall/Gordon injuries (or hopefully trades). Thinking Garuba will only get meaningful minutes this year if there are significant frontcourt injuries. Honestly, I hope he doesn't get many minutes, because 1.) I want him playing a lot in the G-League or overseas working on his offense and 2.) I'm really hoping our front court players don't have any serious injuries this year. Whether you want to keep him or trade him, we all should hope that Wood can have a fruitful, injury-free season. I'm happy developing Garuba slowly until our long term frontcount picture becomes a little more clear. Everyone else will be in G-League or garbage minutes.
Wall / Gordon / House all three NEED to be starters at the beginning of the year to up their trade value.
I see the rotation being Wall/Green/KPJ/Tate/Wood for half of the first quarter Then KPJ/Green/Gordon/KJ/Thies Let KPJ & Green play through the first & Gordon & Wall can start the 2nd Guys like Christopher, Sengun, Garuba can get worked in but most likely to play in back to backs when Wall & Gordon sit. Team should force them not to play back to back I want Wall and Gordon gone but it wouldn’t hurt to keep them around for some of these rookies to lean on during the hard times. Confidence wise I do not think it’s great to just let 19 year old kids take on the league lol. That’s what I think SAC did and they don’t know how to win
House is such a perfect piece for the NBA Good size / above average defender / above average 3pt % I'd think he would get a high 2nd. More if he wasn't an expiring. Really should've been traded last season..
I think they see that $44M price tag before they see anything else. He is literally (last time I checked) the 2nd highest paid player in the NBA (Curry is #1).
Yes indeed.... I was in the Wall Buyout thread a second before... my bad... TY for the catch With House, I think they may have seen his rap video
After one summer league game I’m calling my shot . wall Green Tate Wood Theis if Tate and wood can be 36+ from 3 this lineup can be ok . Depends on how good wood is defensively . Wall has incentive to be a team player if he wants to get moved . He can’t be a net negative . that 5 is long . Tate can get best player 2-4 . Wood long . Theis big . Wall long big and fast. then off the bench Gordon Kpj Nwaba Alperen Possible Garuba . Need to see him play 1 summer league game before i see if he’s an all-star or a bust. Josh Christopher might start the year In the g-league . house , I mean do we care ? Khyri Thomas and Armoni are depth . oh KMJ is also depth , but has better hopes than those two . At least that’s what I think we will look like to start the season. If green and the other rookies catch on and play hard , everything goes right with health and guys take steps forward ..... then we can prolly win 35 games.
My current prediction. Wall / Porter / Augustin Porter / Gordon / Thomas Green / KMJ / Nwamba Tate / Sengun / House Wood / Theis / Sengun Christopher and Garuba spending a lot of time in the G League. Did I miss anyone?
Staring lineup KPJ or Wall (depends on Silas) Green Tate Wood Theis Or if both KPJ and Wall, Theis gets bumped, for 5-out. Defensive lineup. Gordon Nawaba Garuba Tate Theis 3pt shooting line up (end of game situation) Green Brooks House Jr. / Gordon KMJ Wood Height ineup KPJ Sengun Garuba Wood Theis High offense lineup KPJ Brooks Green Sengun Wall Speed / fast break lineup. Wall KPJ Christopher KMJ Wood Payroll lineup. Wall Green Gordon Wood Theis Junior Lineup Johnathan Hildred Wall Jr. Kevin Porter Jr. DJ Augustin Jr. Danuel House Jr. Kenyon Martin Jr.
This was before we signed Theis and Nwaba, both I would pencil in as starters at the 5 and the 3, respectively. I have Wall and Augustin as the starting 1, alternating every other game … but they will not get starter minutes … KPJ will.
