Our Summer League team is going to be so much fun to watch.... Something completely plausible: Jordan Clarkson/George De Paula Jabari Brown Jarell Martin Julius Randle Jahlil Okafor/Tarik Black That's a lot of "j"s lol But seriously that's an amazing team. That might be half our future starting lineup... Wow.
Okafor/Towns are 19, Randle is 20. KD will be 27 before the season starts, young but old enough to start looking at where the ring is going to come from in the next few years. And those guys will take years to become impact players, IF they do. It's be another year before Kobe comes off the books and we have no idea how his body will hold up this year after 41 games played since April 2013. Like the enthusiasm and while it's a situation he might consider, I don't expect he'd consider that hard without knowing how these guys will pan out and how soon.
The young ones are the side dishes, for now. Remember, we can max someone out this year, max someone else out next summer, AND have room for KD.
