re: Justify the non-traditional roster

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.

I thought Ajinca/Withey held their own pretty well and will get better with time. You could do far worse than them(see steimsma,greg) at their current contracts.

AD will probably play the 5 in crunch time like a lot of players have done(duncan/KG etc) and he'll put on more bulk in the offseason hopefully.

AD can defend the banger but shouldn't do it the entire game(which ajinca/withey can help with)

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

Dunno we can always stretch provision him if all else fails or put his arse as the sixth man.

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.

---

Jrue is a very good outside shooter so it's really no big deal if he's on the outside defering to tyreke to attack the basket. He'll still command attention.

Tyreke's outside game looked better as the season winded down so there's that too.

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.

---

It makes Gordon the odd man out due to how vast the disparity is between him and tyreke starting.

A monkey could see how much better the team flowed with tyreke starting.

The national writers make judgements before seeing how things play out.

If tyreke can play that well with a ballhog like roberts,he sure in the hell can play with jrue.

I'd take the expiring because it would be a 3+D SF or something we could use. Worst case scenario you flip him for something at the deadline.
