Gordon, and it's not close for me. He should be a great fit in Gentry's system, plus contract year.

Seems the consensus for most NBA writers is Jrue

Ryno has a problem with ball stopping which is a no no in a gentry offense.

He hasn't had any knee issues since he got the proper rehab prescribed to him. The problem with his knee was he was misdiagnosed/mistreated for 2 years.

i feel like his style of play has changed as well.

Shoots more threes too. let drives to the basket.

but still this hasn't been a 2 year issue. he hasn't player more than 64 games since his rookie season.

His injuries haven't all been his knee. With the Clippers he had a wrist injury and another leg injury that wasn't that knee IIRC. His injury this year was his shoulder.

i am just saying he is clearly fragile and/or cursed.

but idk he was big this year. so i am rooting for him.

maybe its is a picture of giving him plenty of rest days and limiting minutes although he played i think 30+ a game this year.

Gordon will get open looks from 3, Jrue hopefully will just benefit from being healthy.

Jrue and Gordon are the two guys I think benefit the most. Gordon may not have elite athleticism anymore, but he has become a better shooter, and shooters thrive in Gentry's system. He and Jrue are also very slick at keeping the ball moving.

In an offense that values ball movement over is effectiveness, I could see Tyreke taking a step back, but that could actually benefit the team, in my opinion. I'm interested to see if Ryno improves on his ball stopping. He has shown an ability to swing it to the corner in the past, but he just doesn't have the agility or size to roll to the hoop like GSW bigs became so effective at this year.

Tyreke, Gordon will be gone and we have no intention on re-signing him so why invest in him as a key part to the offense?
