Crawford is kind of washed but I wouldn't mind bringing him in for situational purposes, maybe 15 to 20 min a game tops, Smart for Wily-Cauly Stein would be a good look

Horford/Stein/Zizic

Morris/Horford/Yabu/Tatum

Hayward/Crowder/Morris/Tatum

Brown/Hayward/Crawford

IT/Rozier

Multiple guys that can play multiple positions and will give Brad a ton of options, I think you will see more of Al and Marcus starting but they can go big with Al at the 4, I've mostly only seen Marcus against the C's but reading up on him I didn't realize how good of a defender he is, nah he's not a great rebounder but he also plays next to a guy that gets paid 26 mil to basically do one thing and that's rebound, other than that Drummond fucking sucks, sometimes numbers can be deceiving like when these idiots were saying Marc Gasol would be a bad fit because we need a rebounder and his rebound numbers suck, but in reality his rebound numbers aren't all that great for the same reason Al's will never be great it doesn't necessarily mean they are bad rebounders, I think Brown can be one of the better rebounders in the backcourt like Avery was and that's what we need to do rebound as a collective

I agree on Stein.

And those arguments against Gasol are some stupid shit. As if Gasol couldn't just grab the boards if that was an expectation.

Gasol is a near perfect fit. If we want just athletic big, much rather have someone like Stein than guys who make in the 20 mil range or above.

It would be a good swap but unless the Kings value that Greek center more than Stein they probably won't even listen unless another pick or something was involved, another player with a lower ceiling is Lucas Nogoeuira from Toronto, I'd rather not trade Smart within the division though

I'm hoping they will move crowder for something.

I like the idea of Smart and Rozier sharing minutes at pg and sg.

I personally like Crowder and his contract is great, but he seems to be the more expendable of the two (him and Smart).

Would lke to see Brown and Tatum get signifcant in season minutes, really be ready for the playoffs.
 
Baynes always played well in limited minutes from the spurs and pistons there were plenty of times they played better when he was there instead of Drummond. He rolls to the basket can give you occasional jump hooks, and has solid mobility. Most importantly a good rebounder although I'm not sure about his free throws or mid range jumper
 
He opted out of his deal and even Detroit expected him to get more than they can afford but he actually lost out on dough in the end, it's a one year deal so he'll be playing for a contract, I like the move we needed a body and we got a guy who played very well for Detroit and still got something to prove, we'll get more out of him than we would Amir who is getting 11 mil from Philly even though that's not a bad deal for Philly they need that veteran presence
 
Replaced AB (which hurts but we couldn't pay him) with Hayward who should average more points in a faster paced offense, KO who while talented was easily our most inconsistent player gets replaced by Marcus Morris who is more consistent and could thrive in our spacing offense, amir and zeller with baynes and added Tatum who will contribute asap, I don't understand why ainge got hate for this off season lol
 
I'm going to hate Ainge no matter what. My father hated Ainge and my father's-father before him hated Ainge. It's in my blood yo.
 
They're saying more moves are on the horizon but I'm cool with the way the roster is now, unless it's a big impact player I don't think we need to add another front court player, I don't want Zizic to get buried and become Zeller status

I liked what I saw from Daniel thiess from Germany as a younger jerebko replacement. He was defensive player of the year in his league and is a shot blocker
 
I like the deal for Nader who was better then hunter and young last year. He was G league rookie of the year and can slash and hit 3's. Might be stepping into the Gerald green role and our bench might stay inexperienced lol

Lol welp
 
It's wild smart lost over 20 pounds this off-season and worked with billups. He's at his college weight so that could help his explosion and finishing around the rim
 
This season got that 07-08 feel to it going in, although I knew that team would click right away we won't really know what this team is about until after the all star break, we got a pretty tough schedule to start it may not look that great at first and the prisoner of the moment brigade will act like the sky is falling but once this team forms chemistry and barring major injuries we will be back in the finals
