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


AD/Ryno/Ajinca/Withey/Smiht is not a bad frontcourt. We just have guys starting that shouldn't be(Ajinca/Withey at the moment) If we had an asik starting it'd look a bit different in terms of depth.

Hopefully we unload roberts/EG so it evens out a bit.

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.


Jrue/Tyreke will fit together fine imo it's EG that throws it off.

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.


Again the only real conflicting piece is EG. Jrue/Tyreke are worth what they're making.

You have 2 guys with starter talent who play the same position, but shouldn't be asked to defend post bangers regularly. To the legit 5 point, there isn't a legit 5 in that list.

No doubt, but he don't come free

Roberts is probably gone. Gordon is going to be tough to move

I think Jrue/EG could fit well together. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see enough of Jrue to determine who fits better next to him. Jrue isn't exactly a sharpshooter, so I'm not sure how well he'll do standing around waiting on Evans to to crash the lane.

EG is overpaid, but that doesn't make him any more of a conflicting piece. They all kind of conflict with each other, which is what most national writers screamed when Evans was brought in. The problem is that Gordon will be harder to move than Evans, so that affects how you can build around Holiday/Evans.

Are we better off with Holiday/Evans and some shitty expiring or Holiday/Gordon and an upgrade at the 3 or 5? That's the real question, and none of us know the answer.
