    Give me Simons.

    No need for Meyers to play against Minnesota either, the only big they play off the bench is Dieng, who Collins can handle. Layman is a better matchup for Saric than Meyers.

    Assuming Harkless is out I want this second unit tomorrow:

    Simons
    Stauskas
    Turner
    Layman
    Collins

    Yeah. I was thinking Simons as well. It would be a perfect opportunity for him to get a few minutes.

    I agree with it being Simons


    Didn't you see what Meyers did to the Twolves a week and a half ago

    I actually wonder if Stotts gives Trent minutes. Forgot he was from Minnesota and will probably have a bunch of family in the stands. Stotts usually throws his players a bone (if he can) in those situations.

    Yeah... Trents been too aggressive though. I'd be worried if he saw the floor.

    He'll jack up multiple threes in the first 30 seconds.

    I think You go with Wade. He's proven in the past he can handle the minutes and provide a nice contribution.

    But he doesn’t really fit with Turner. Baldwin is useless if he doesn’t have the ball in his hands and isn’t a floor spacer.

    My guess is one of the rookies gets a shot in the first half and then Terry tightens the rotation in the second.

    Knock on wood.

    We have the best point differential in the west.

    I voted for Baldwin to get Seth's minutes...mainly for defensive and ball handling reasons

    Agreed. I'm really rooting for Baldwin to break out this year.

    I want to see Simons get some run. He has some nice offensive moves and will be here long term.

    I hope to god we don't get them in the first round of the playoffs. Because, marketing. It's going to be shades of 2002 all over again.
