With the recent pickups I think our 2019/2020 lineup is largely set.

While I'm hopeful of some future pickups, I do not see much in the way of cap room flexibility to pickup or trade for more inspiring assets. As it stands the lineup seemingly is going to mix of the talent displayed below 1xbet apk download.

What do you feel are reasonable expectations for the assembly below? & Roster aside, what do you feel are reasonable expectations for the FO this coming season?

PG A Curoso, R Rondo, Q Cook
SG D Green, KC Pope, A Bradley, T Dudley
SF L James, J Dudley
PF A Davis, K Kuzma
C J McGee, D Cousins

Personally, I question if this team makes it past the second round of the playoffs. I hope I am wrong.

Unquestionably there is a great deal of pressure on Rob to have a successful season given the high stakes gamble taken by trading away our young talents and future picks for AD. Now, is it unreasonable to ask that anything short of Western Conference Finals may lead to expulsion? IMO if we fall short of the WCF, Jeannie will have a FO vacancy to fill before the start of next offseason.

There's enough talent on this roster to win a ring, but that will depend on injuries, how they mesh together, and how other teams do. I am neither limiting my expectations or hyping my expectations.
