Rose/IQ/Burks/Obi/Noel is really an AWESOME second unit. That group can get buckets, stops, play fast... its really an awesome 2nd unit and the lack of depth really hurt last year but also showed we are closer to being good than anyone thought...

Kemba/RJ/EF/Jules/Mitch start

(Im guessing) Grimes/Luca/Sims/Taj/Knox/McBride dont make the rotation and I'm not sure Luca makes the team but I love that depth and pipeline. Rose/Kemba/Mitch are all guys I see us getting 60ish games from and thats fine because we are deep and those guys are priced just fine for that production.

We arent winning a title, but its absolutely a good squad and the next tier. I think 4th seed again feels about right again

I thought Orangeblobman was back when I first saw that title. I read squad as squat.

Injuries and foul trouble will give guy like McBride, Grimes, Taj minutes.

I'm guessing Mitch won't be starting at the beginning of the season, but once he does, Noel might be the best center backuo we've had since...?

Aside from Toppin, the other three also might be the best backups at their respective positions since...?

PG: D Rose

Sprewell and Houston started together for a while

Camby and Mase were also starters.

Initially Camby came off the bench and backed up Chris Dudley believe it or not because everyone thought he was too injury prone- sound familiar?


I remember when Mase was an afterthought 12th man on the roster. He didn’t emerge until after X-Man left

SG has to be 2012 JR. He was so great when he wasn't being a knucklehead. Wasn't there a game vs. Miami he had 10 3s?

Had 1.5 good years after we brought him back from China. Was trash afterwards. I remember people having a meltdown when Phil traded him

Not sure if I ever snorted more liquid out my nose then seeing him untie someone shoes at the foul line the second time.

I thought I had snorted glue watching JR have that brain fart at the end of the game 1 finals in 2018

The talent level is up around the league. Strong draft, strong internationals. Frankly, need expansion to account for all these great players, two more teams needed at least. I'm thinking Seattle and either Vegas or Vancouver. Could Tampa support a NBA franchise?

Shocking that players like Dante Exum and others remain unsigned.

Rose/Kemba/Mitch are all guys I see us getting 60ish games from and thats fine because we are deep and those guys are priced just fine for that production.

We arent winning a title, but its absolutely a good squad and the next tier. I think 4th seed again feels about right again

based on talent, we will be lucky to make the playoffs. atlanta, miami are better. think about raps, celtics, hornets and bulls. we'll be battling. the only teams for certain at the top are nets, bucks, philly.

we need dame. i'd like to see us trade kemba, obi, mitch, knox, grimes, burks, luca and picks for dame.

Portland can absorb the 6 players? I doubt that. Can’t trade FA’s for a while still. I doubt Kemba came here to be dealt so fast.
I like Dame, but I doubt Blazers don’t do that unless we give them RJ.

Only way this happens is if Portland comes to us and we can still give them a good deal. I hate the idea of trading RJ.. Does RJ, IQ and two firsts get it done?
I’m not advocating this. Rose and Kemba? We’d lose face by making that trade.
Its not Lillard I’d object to, its the price paid to get him.
