I imagine Kuzma is coming off the bench. AD doesn't like playing the 5 position. And Kuzma has yet to play the 3 position before.
LBJ
Green
KCP/Bradley
AD
McGee

| I would like to see Bradley and Green on the opposing back court with AD, MCGee, Cousins locking down the Paint. Lebron will play free safety. The West has actually gotten weaker in terms of SF threats. Only the Clippers have 2 clear threat at small forward which we will deal with when the teams matchup, but other than them cant think of another team in the West with a Star SF. |

I’m thinking similar but swap the guards.
PG - Bron
SG - Bradley
SF - Green

| Is Jonathan Williams still on a two-way contract with us? I feel like we'd need one insurance big man in case of injury to Cousins or McGee. |

He'll start at PG on offense (with Rondo as his one-for-one backup), but he'll defend mostly PFs.

I guess there's also an argument to be made for starting Cook that he can be the Boobie Gibson of this team

I am considering maybe Below
C cousins
PF AD
SF Kuzma
SG Green or Bradley
PG Lebron
I think having Green or Bradley coming off the bench is better these guys have more experience and with Rondo should be able to find open shots |

Not with Bradley here. Unless Bradley forgets how to shoot (quite possible), Bradley will fill the Boogie Gibson/Mo Williams role with Cook as his understudy.
Unfortunately, unless Caruso somehow beats Rondo out for backup PG duties (not likely), Cook's minutes will be restricted because theoretically he is the backup SG, but he won't be able to play with the backup PG (presumably Rondo).
Cook will only play when James is the PG.

Bron with be PG with starting unit but is in SF spot on line up. Also this assumes we get Iggy, if not move KCP to Iggy spot and let cook or AC move into KCP spot.
Bradley/Rondo/AC/Norvel
Green/KCP/Cook/Daniels
Bron/Iggy/THT
AD/Kuzma/Dudley
Cousins/Mcgee/Williams

Starters:
LBJ
Caruso
Green
Brow
Boogie
2 initiators in Lebron and Caruso so you don’t wear out Lebron. Caruso takes on the pg on D and Green matches up with the sg’s
Bench:
Mcgee
Kuz
Bradley (plays spot minutes at sf due to his wingspan but plays majority of his minutes at sg/ while defending pg’s)
KCP
Rondo
Closing:
AD
Kuz
Green
Bradley
LBJ
Bradley checks the pg on D. Like the balance of this team. |
