It's early (trades still may happen, we still have some $), but here's what I've got so far:

The Starters:
Dame/CJ/Powell/RoCo/Nurk

The Rotation Players:
DJJ/Ant/Nas/Zeller/Snell

The Others:
CJ2/McLemore/Brown

The 2-ways:
Watford

The Expendables:
Mudiay/Beasley

We have GOT to swap DJJ for somebody who can guard the 4. A taller RoCo would be the dream.
If Chicago waives Aminu - sign him up! If not, trade DJJ for him.
Also: has NO cut ties with Wenyen? He couldn't hurt either.
ALSO: sign Isaac Bonga!
ALSO: And Chris Chiozza.
 
What's happening with Kanter? I love the guy, just not on our team. Houston could in theory sign him just to mentor Alperen Şengün, except that I'm sure Şengün would avoid him like the plague, because his own family would suffer back home otherwise.
 
Just trade Dame for Simmons and suddenly everything looks balanced!


(I'm actually serious.)

Have we heard anything about Milsap? When they played us first round, I'm sure he got the impression he'd be needed here...

it really sounds like we're gonna run it back with largely the same team.

we're gonna act like this same team didn't get smoked by a Denver team missing multiple starters?

I think Dame might gently remind us. Especially if he's in a pissy mood after missing out on a medal.

Not anymore with Zeller.

I don't know about you but getting Zeller doesn't stop me dreaming that in the slightest. WITH Zeller we still only have two players bigger than 6'8". And Nance is better than Zeller, certainly defensively.

our GM decided to use Enes Kanter as his only big man for more than half the season last year. He doesn't believe in getting tall dudes. Melo played center minutes.

If Zeller truly is for the minimum, I imagine it has to come with some guarantee of playing time. And Nance plays mostly center. I don't expect Olshey to then trade for another big when he thinks he already has the position filled.

With that said, I was patient zero on the Nance thing, so I'd be happy with that. I just don't think it's happening.

I actually think that when we win gold it will put him in a more motivated mood after having had teammates that covered for his bad games. He might come back with a gold and remind Neil that running it back isn't good enough but then again maybe Neil will sell him a used car and while he's at it the idea that running it back under Chauncey is a completely different thing.

To be fair, that was in part because Zach was injured. We had Nurk, Kanter and Zach. Now we have Nurk and Zeller. We have room for a third non-midget.

If he could grow three inches, that would be even nicer.

I guess if that meant his reach got even longer, but with a 7'1 wingspan is it really that important? I mean that is the same wing as Zach Collins, but with a much better vertical leap. For an SF he is tall enough. I have no problem playing him at the 4 as well.

All right, but he has to LIVE in the fucking weight room then.

I actually see playing smallball 4 as his best route to relevance, because he just doesn't have the skills of a wing.

Actually I as wrong, his wing is 7'2"
I don't think his strength will be an issue. Covid caused him to lose weight, but he comes in at 220 already. I don't want him adding too much more weight where he would lose his explosiveness. 225-230 max IMO
