    Player-coach Jrue to turbocharge the development of this roster - that’s their vision with this move IMO

    Carter makes the most sense - although we’ll likely have to leapfrog Phoenix to draft Bryant.

    He’s the new pick at 11 on ESPN, who usually get our pick right. My gut is still saying we trade the pick.

    I don’t think he makes it past Phoenix.

    I don't think we make the pick or at least we don't keep the person picked there. I guess we'll all see soon.

    I'd be surprised if they don't draft a 4 or a 5. Most of their team is made up 2/3s it's absurd.

    I am hoping for Carter Bryant now.

    I hope we don’t. Wishful that we package 11 and Grant/Ayton and another asset to get a significant “Help us now” player

    I actually think Carter could be in the rotation and help immediately. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea.

    Without moves I think it would be pretty hard for a rookie not named Flagg to find PT on this roster.

    Just spitballing because I really have no idea who would start but lets just say: Jrue, Shaedon, Tou, Jerami, Ayton, Deni (super sixth man kinda fits his game), Scoot, Clingan, Tisse... if Bryant can get PT away from anyone in that nine man rotation not to mention if Rob is healthy that would be really impressive.

    I hope to God our starting lineup is

    Scoot
    Shae
    Tou
    Deni
    Ayton

    I'm hoping Grant gets sent out, leaving your backups.

    Jrue
    Matisse
    Bryant
    Clingan

    Murray, Rupert are irrelevant. I can see a case for Walker if they keep him.

    Yeah I think a lot of us are in shock about this trade. I hope you're right, I like that rotation a lot more than one where Jrue, Jerami and Deandre have to start because they're all making so much. It's nice to know that everything is still up in the air. Just keeping my fingers crossed that things shake out in a way that makes sense.

    If we bring Deni off the bench we all need to take Fire Joe and Billups signs to a game.

    That won't happen. They want to push Deni as likely the #1 option and see how that looks.
