but, as a Monty supporter, he should be fired if he plans to make AD a "project" player beyond next season


absolutely...AD needs to be playing 35 minutes a game from day one next season. I think sooner. If Davis is solely a PF, that leaves 13 minutes a game for Anderson...would have to trade him

Well, only 3 PFs are playing 35+ mpg this year. But yeah, even if he plays 33mpg, that's 15mpg for Ryno, who needs to be around 30mpg. That would leave AD playing ~45% of his time (just under 15mpg) at C. I don't know if it's a good idea to have a guy focusing on so many different things and being a great 2 position player. I get that some of the GOATs do that (Duncan, KG) but they didn't really play "center" until late in their careers.

I was excited about the Ryno signing, and he's proving to be worth more than what he's getting paid (definitely a top 5 non-rookie deal in the NBA), but I really, really, REALLY wish he were capable of defending SFs. I know he can't get to the basket like many 3's can, but I really think AD will be great at doing that.

The whole thing gets more fricked up if Monty values a guy like Al Jefferson and can get him at what feels like a reasonable price.
