re: Justify the non-traditional roster

Balance is key
If we had a legit 5 instead of EG we'd be pretty traditional(in a sense)
I also think demps has some master plan in mind.
He's seeing who fits and the "loser" goes

I'd really like to believe this.

We don't, though. We have a crowded back court and a very thin front court.

I hope you're right, but I'm not seeing it. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but his plan thus far seems to be talent acquisition regardless of fit.

The problem is that he's tied us into big, long-term salary for conflicting pieces. If he can't turn one of his high-paid guards into a legit center, it's all for not.

Is Keeping our current rotation that bad though?
I know Tyreke is more suited for SG, but why is him playing at the 3 such a horrible deal? He has height and quickness to match with both smaller and larger 3's. While he and Gordon are both slashers to the basket, Gordon is a better outside shooter and Jrue is a legit outside shooter as well.
I honestly think that with the right coach and picking up a decent center, this team could compete pretty legitimately. The main problem is that Williams is not the coach for that team and I think his coaching has hurt Gordon as much as his injuries and attitude. Seeing Tyreke's performance to end the season should prove Monty's inability to coach the 1-3 positions.

You make it sound easier than it is. You're assuming that the "loser" has a contract that allows us to have him "go".
I know I'm a big anti-Gordon guy and I won't back off that. Because of EG, we've loss so much flexibility we could have. When you're building a team, you're going to have hits and misses...it's part of the process. If you don't have the cap space to add more pieces or the option to move a "miss", the process is delayed or, in many cases, destroyed. EG is a monumental "miss".
As for Demps' "master plan" comment, he's running out of time for that plan to work.
