After signing Hood and Mario, letting Aminu walk I would do this rotation at the moment: Dame Anf CJ Baze Hood Hark Mario Meyers Collins Hood I would bring off the bench so he can fill in for Dame or CJ offense when they sit, as well as put the more defensive minded Bazemore against opponent starters. Harkless I would start, due to his defense. With Meyers starting I'm not worried about Harkless streaky outside shooting. I would have Collins come off the bench so we can keep one of him or Meyers on the court at center. Against mobile 5s maybe start Collins and bring Meyers off the bench. Third string would be: Trent Little Jake Skal Maybe Jake can take Mario's spot in the rotation.
As is: Dame\Simons CJ\Hood Bazemore\ Hezonja\Layman\Little\Trent Collins\ Harkless\Layman Leonard\Labiserre
Simons and Collins better be good or the Blazers are in trouble, and they better not rush Nurk back because they suck defensively and cant get wins...
May as well just update this thread as moves happen Dame CJ Bazemore or Hood Collins Whiteside Simons Hood or Bazemore Layman/Little Hezonja Skal Olshey isn’t done. Look for a stretch four and/or maybe another center. Just depends on how they view Zach.
Clown. I know it's a joke, but have some respect for a guy that made your life and your kids life so much easier with that 70M contract. I'm not in good mood today.
1-Dame 2-CJ 3-Hood 4-Collins 5-Whiteside (Nurkic) 1/2-Ant 2-Trent 2/3-Bazemore 3-Little 3/4-Hezonja 4-Tolliver 4/5-Skal When I look at the current roster laid out this way, I really want another vet min PG and another big for insurance. (I also want Skal and Zach to trade places, but that's just wishful thinking)
Dame/Simons CJ/Hood/Simons Bazemore/Hood Collins/Mario/Skal Whiteside/Collins Little, Z3 (Tolliver), Layman, Trent not in rotation
That's what I'm seeing too. Maybe Tolliver over Mario depending on their play. Might be able to find a few minutes at the 2/3 for Little too if we want to go 10 deep like last year. Another C for insurance / spot minutes would be nice
Tolliver could also get a bit of backup PF minutes and Skal none. There will probably be an unusual amount of backup PF minutes available due to Zach sliding to Backup C as the game goes on. A la CJ backing up Dame
