    Plumlee/Vonleh

    The odd-man out here is Aminu, don't think we need him much other than maybe in situational match-ups against opposing forwards but that's not how we play defense anyway

    Exactly what does this "fix"?

    Explain how Alexander, whose hardly played, gets automatically put over Davis, who is probably our best "blue collar" guy and enforcer? That makes zero sense.

    I understand you only care about the 14th and 15th guys and think they are Steph Curry, and youve been wrong every time, but please, enlighten us as to HOW this works? In detail.

    Or is it because Frazier got cut because he sucked?

    Answer in detail, or don't answer at all.

    This is a real thread? Seems like a troll thread... no reasons to back up a statement....
    Come on now. I clicked on this thinking it would be interesting, but just a waste of my time...

    I'm believe there's a meme out there titled "stop posting"

    A proper troll thread should at least provide the illusion of a valid position. I give this a 2. ;)

    I think he meant "fix the roster" in the same way a vet means "fix the dog."

    I just did another post explaining that 10 many rotations are very very hard to pull off in the NBA. And here you are asking for a 12 man one? That doesn't even address the other obvious holes in your post.

    I literally can't fathom him writing this and not laughing maniacally whilst stroking a white cat. If he's not, then he's crazy.

    See how that works? ;)

    Meyers starting AND Alexander ahead of Davis?

    how many games have you watched this year?

    I haven't been much of a fan of the statistics of Vonleh starting, but he does provide a lot of intangibles along with good D, although I think he can get more impact in the 2nd unit.

    I'd like to see some alternate looking lineups where Vonleh doesnt start, along the lines of these type of combinations/mix thereof....

    Dame
    CJ
    Henderson OR Crabbe
    Aminu OR Davis
    Plum

    We can't afford Meyers situational lapses vs. a starting unit, and his shooting is ultra redundant when dame/cj/crabbe etc are on the floor, and considering the things we give up in order for him to get into the offense, it's not worth it for the starting unit.

    Davis is one of our best players. Makes no sense to make him third string.

    I thought Sly had been barking in a higher register lately.

    OR if they could at least TRY to look like Justin Bieber.

    Jesus, can Alexander even shoot threes?
