Justin Holiday is a good player. We better utilize his skills

I saw a lot of that on the Bull's board also. Took it with a grain of salt, but who knows... maybe he's a late bloomer.

Bazemore was a late bloomer. These guys have to come up through the system playing like Jordan or Westbrook - ball in their hands all the time, acting like they're the star player. I think it can take a while to adjust, recalibrate and realize you have to be a three and D guy to make it.

I think he's a potentially decent piece. We shall see.

It'd be good to have Galloway back so we have a little more depth at guard. I'd even like Sasha V back.

Or he better seize this opportunity. Hornacek stood up for him when Berman called him a throw in. Said they plan to have him in the rotation. So it's all on Holiday.

Why they gotta put a pouting Jennings?

yup! I like LG's story but I just think he's pretty limited as a BB player in this league. Of course if he can get that 3point shot fixed I will change my tune, but 2nd half of last year he was a broken player. I think Sasha is better fit who can have an impact in spot minutes on both sides of the floor. Either or both would be good for me.

5 - Joakim Noah
4 - Kristaps Porzingis
3 - Carmelo Anthony
2 - Courtney Lee
1 - Derrick Rose


Bench
1-2 Brandon Jennings
3-4 Lance Thomas
5 - Willy Hernangomez
2-3 Justin Holiday
3 - Mindaugas Kuzminskas
3-4 Kyle O Quinn

What else do they need? To me Jennings, Willy and Lance are all regular rotation. If Holiday and Kuzminskas get minutes, what position do we still need a solid veteran at a minimum salary? I guess the 4-5 in case Quinn and Willy dont get the minutes, and a 2-3 in case Kuzmi and Holiday dont work out.

Now that they used the room exception I think Gallo is a must get. They'll likey need a 3rd pg for insurance purposes given Rose/jennings history and also I trust Gallo over Holiday at the 2 guard spot.

E'Twaun Moore has agreed to a 4 yr/$34m deal and I'd take Gallo over Moore.

No need to over think the rest of the roster- just add either Seraphin or Amundson as 3rd string C/PF, hopefully sign Galloway. Fill in the last 2 spots at training camp.

Phil you done well!

A lot to look forward to here. I am very content filling out the remainder of the spots with some of our players from last season to help with the chemistry and provide a little continuity.

YUP, YUP!!! This has been one amazing offseason. Phil and his staff were accused of being asleep if you all remember the jokes. Turns out he was actually preparing for a big summer and didn't have time for the media crapfest.

That's actually better depth than I hoped for. Inexperienced at backup C, but otherwise ok

Noah and KP is an intriguing tandem. They are both pretty agile and both have what it takes to cause serious problems for small ball. They may be able to guard it well enough while killing teams on the opposite side with length.

They should be a terror shutting down PnR. All that length and quickness. That's why I was glad they brought Lance back cuz he is another defender to go along with Noah, KP and Lee.

I also can't believe how much improved our Guard situation is. This is a MASSIVE upgrade at guard. No more hesitant guard play. Hornacek can get something done with these guards and they will likely add a couple more for the bench.
