    It depends on if it works or not. Lebron is going to probably have a big chunk of the League under Rich's umbrella by the time he retires.

    You wouldn't mind if Russ brought in Kyrie and another big though right?

    Feel like some sort of trade HAS to happen. Having a hard time envisioning current depth chart if we were operating under the assumption that we're heading into the season as is.

    Westbrook / Nunn
    Reaves / Walker / THT / Christie
    Lebron / SJ / JTA / Brown Jr.
    AD / Gabriel
    Jones

    Something like that? Still seems like an odd roster construction.

    I'm REALLY hoping that this logjam we're developing in the back court doesn't mean Reaves is on the way out in a Kyrie trade. That would be a disaster.

    We currently have Westbrook, Nunn, Reaves, THT, Skywalker & Christie for the guard spots. Aside from Christie, you assume all of them want playing time? So who’s gonna go in a trade?

    Nunn + THT + Trade Exception is 17.5m in salary or so.

    Unless we really bolster the front court, I think Bron is our PF and AD is C.

    Too much money at SG/PG, need to get Kyrie and Harris at this point and shed some of our guards in the process. Then we still need another vet min C. Dieng or Boogie.

    The Lonnie Walker TPMLE scratches my head. I don't think he's a good defender or shooter. :(

    He's 6-4 with a 6-10 wingspan. The physical tools are there, but if he couldn't develope them in SA, it does make me wonder.

    Otherwise, I like the minimums. I like the youth movement.

    Let's see what how we fill the rest of the roster out.

    Yeah Russ/THT for Kyrie/Harris and then slot in Bron at 4 and AD at 5, I could feel really good abut something like this:

    Kyrie / Nunn
    Reaves / Walker / Christie
    Harris / SJ / JTA / Brown Jr
    Lebron / Gabriel
    AD / Jones

    You have to think THT and maybe Nunn are gone then because those are our only trade pieces, unless they’re talking about in a Russ trade for multiple pieces of Kyrie doesn’t happen.

    I said that Darvin seemed to be putting a teaching type of coaching staff together. A lot easier to sell youngsters, on trying to make their way in this league on hustling and doing the little things right. The closers have to close though. Another 30 games or less from the big two and this could go left. The Russ and Kyrie thing is still hovering over everything.

    Yeah we're going a bit guard heavy again, at least they aren't all old/small though.

    Jones can't be our only big addition.

    I thought Porter Jr would be gone already. GP Jr too.
