21 teams have 3-5 minimum salary players...3 teams have 7 or more. The Lakers have 9...that's why we're losing...and will continue to lose this year because the focus in on resetting the repeater tax penalty instead of upgrading the roster to get out of embarrassment.
We win 15-20 games this season. |

AD, LBJ, TBjr, Walker, WB off the bench and Reeves off the bench...good group of six. Can Bryant and Schroeder give us a decent 8 man rotation?
Bryant

3 balls seem to die for LAL, but Beverly should move closer to his 37.6 career average, even 35% on less shots is welcomed. Can't sell low, and Jones won't fetch much.
LBJ and AD's best positions may be PF but gotta maximize their 2 man game. Really need to stay afloat till the deadline and hope someone buys out a 3/4 or a tanker swaps one for an expiring and a 2nd. |

This unit should be on the court to close out every close game.
And they need to continue playing with pace, not stall ball.

Thereās situations where Russ can close (ie if heās playing well and/or if LW4 canāt buy a bucket), but yeah, ideally youād have TBJ/LW4/Reaves as the 1 through 3) _________________ #18 next... |

Agree, I like the size much better for TBJ/LW4/Reeves to close with LBJ/AD |

If Russ closes, teams will do what Portland did the last game (what the Lakers did to Houston in the playoffs) and have a big guard Russ and pack the paint and dare him to shoot from the outside.
Which also limits driving lanes for Bron and AD. We've seen how ugly that can get. _________________ šš š š š #18!!! |

AD, Gabriel
LeBron, JTA
Brown Jr, Reaves
Walker, Nunn
Beverly, Russ
It'l be interesting to see how Dennis is incorporated into the group but as of now, it feels like that's what will work best for this team - sans trade. |

DS would take PatBev spot
Bryant would take Gabriel
Assuming theyāre healthy
Then JTA can also cover the big wing with Brown
Jones-Gabriel backing up the bigs |

Yeaā¦think it will be for most of the season:

TBjr JTA
Walker Reeves
Shroeder WB
Bev Nunn may fall outside of meaningful rotation. |

Which is about 20 mil in expiring salary.
Attached a first rounder and you can get a very nice rotation bigā¦outta Indiana.
Just need to wait. _________________ Darvin |

Would be a nice move but wait for what? Do it! Now! That big moves AD to PFā¦preferred, and moves TBjr to the benchā¦preferred. We still would need 3pt shooting, wings, a proven SG and hope that Schroeder could perform like a starting PG.
Turner Bryant
AD Gabriel
LBJ TBjr
Walker Reeves
Schroeder WB
Unlessā¦would Charlotte go for this?
Rozier/Hayward/Washington for WB/Christie + FRP + 2ndRP?
Turner/Bryant/Jones
AD/Washington/Gabriel
LBJ/JTA/Ryan
Hayward/Walker/TBjr
Rozier/Schroeder/Reeves |

Iād like to see how this team plays fully healthy before making a trade. This rotation you posted is very interesting. _________________ ālike I never leftā

I will say, Iām glad to see Troy Brown Jr playing and actually doing decently so far.
I liked him a lot on the Wizards, and think he has shown a lot of flashes of being a TJ Warren like scorer. Hope he can keep it up and become a good contributor. Him and Thomas Bryant were my favorite signings. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Gut tells me Ham wonāt ever have Beverly come off the bench, even though Beverly has not shown a single game why he deserves to be a starter. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Decent lineup but I'm concerned about relying on so many unproven players to perform better than their averages last year as a plan "A". Sure if we find someone that exceeds expectations that would be a bonus but I can't trust a plan "A" with:
Schroeder starting at PG...has to perform better as starter, would serve us better if making the team deep at PG off the bench
Walker starting at SG...has shown ability to get to the rim this year but horrible 3pt shooting so would be more effective off the bench
TBjr starting at SF...this is a push at best forced by a flawed roster construction, definitely NOT best as a starter, would be a pleasant surprise contributing off the bench.
I don't want to count on a "surprise" as a plan "A". I want to have a team where if people just did what they did last year we would be in a position to win.
Bev+Nunn = Turner
WB = Hayward + Rozier
use both FRPs and two 2ndRPs
8-man core
Turner/Bryant
AD
LBJ
Hayward/Walker
Rozier/Schroeder
Rotation
Reeves/TBjr/Gabriel/JTA
DNP-CDs unless emergency
Jones/Ryan/Christie
I would try to get Charlotte to include either Oubre or Washington by adding Christie but that may be a pipe dream... |
