68 Games Remaining... How I See It

Overall, I can’t complain about how the season has started. We’re sitting at .500, not bad considering the injuries.


Initially, I was concerned with if we properly replaced Rondo. I think we have. With Payton and Holiday serving as ballhandlers, I don’t think there’s an urgency to add another PG at this time. Clark and Frazier are effective as third-string ballhandlers. If we added another PG we’ll have to play Moore at SF, I think that’s counterproductive. Just like we have PF and C covered with the 3 man rotation of AD/ Mirotic/ Randle, I think we have PG and SG covered with the 3 man rotation of Holiday/ Payton/ Moore.


The team doesn’t need any more guards, we’re very solid at SG. Holiday and Moore has the position covered. Moore has been forced to play SF but he is really a SG. At SG, he’s strong for the position and gets into the lane with ease. At SF, he’s undersized and expected to do too much defensively. Jackson is effective in mop-up duty at SG; I think he can be a rotation fixture in the future.


The only thing we need to do is solidify the SF position without creating another hole on the roster. Wesley Johnson can give us backup minutes at the position; we need a starting caliber SF to be a real threat. The expendable assets we have are Solomon Hill, Miller, Williams, and draft picks. This should be enough to acquire someone. Before you start talking shite, remember Asik and a 1st got us Mirotic. Solo is bad; he’s way better than Asik. I think we have the assets to get someone like: Ross, Holiday, Kidd-Gilchrist, Oubre Jr., TJ Warren, Josh Jackson.
