Let's say that the core roster remains in place. (Yes this means Eric Gordon does not get traded.) With a full year of games/practices/off-season training under their belt together. How far exactly can this roster go at it's FULL potential with everybody healthy for the majority of next season?

We have a roster consisting of one budding superstar (AD), surrounded by 4 really solid producing players (Jrue, Ryno, Reke, EG) just starting to scratch their primes, and some solid rotational role players (Ajinca, Smith, Morrow, Babbitt). On paper that's should be a really competitive roster, but can they put it all together next year?

Thoughts on your best case scenario record for next year if this team can stay healthy?

I think 50 games will be realistic as long as they address the SF and Center position. As always, Health will be the deciding factor. Scary as a Monty led team hasn't been relatively healthy since his first season.

If Monty is still here, I'm going 38-42 wins.

may be the most logical thing you've said on this board.

i'd say 52 wins as best case, 42 as worst.

If they can stay mostly healthy they make the playoffs. How far they go depends on the draw. They won't be good enough to beat every team, but I don't think they're a guaranteed 1st round exit either.

I'm always pretty level headed on here I'm curious as to why you chose that specific post as the most logical.

I think they should be able to crack the playoffs with a healthy roster. They need to bring in the best big man possible with the MLE.

I would think the roster is this next season

PG: Holiday/Jackson
SG: Gordon/Rivers
SF: Evans/Morrow/some SF depth on the minimum(I guess Aminu if he has an exception to go over the cap)
PF: Davis/Anderson
C: MLE Player/Ajinca/Withey

If we can move EG for a wing that can hit a 3+play respectable D and put tyreke as a full time starter,we'll be in great shape.

Then throw an offer at Gortat or Hawes

Holiday/Jackson
??????(Or tyreke here then someone at SF)/Rivers
Tyreke/Morrow/Cheap Vet SF(someone like garcia/rush)
Davis/Ryno
Gortat or Hawes/Ajinca/Withey

Definitely a 6 or 5th seed imo.
