We should also leverage KOQ solid play into (hopefully) a first round pick (even a low first round pick). This is his ceiling and his trade value will never be this high again down the road. Let's roll with Noah as the first big off the bench and begin dressing Plumlee as the third big off the bench. If Noah continues to stink just move Plumlee up in the rotation.We just have to accept that Willy is going to have his ups and downs and just live with it with an eye towards the future.
Agreed. Really the only disadvantage (to some) is this might actually help us win more games. We are a better team with KP and Willy in the frontcourt, hopefully we are bad enough to get the PG we need in the draft. I still wouldn't be opposed to keeping Melo to start alongside KP and Willy. If we get the right PG and get more athletic and better defensively in the backcourt, we won't be a bad team, even if Melo staying at the 3.
