If healthy (HAHAHAHA), this team looks better than our playoff team. VASTLY better defensively, slightly better on offense

PG: Holiday/Evans/Frazier/Douglas
SG: Moore/Hield/Qpon/Ennis
SF: Hill/Qpon/Cunningham/Babbitt/Ennis
PF: Davis/Hill/Cunningham/Diallo
C: Asik/Ajinca/Diallo

15 guys

Wouldn't we have Holidays bird rights so we could sign someone else then sign him
Jrue's cap hold will be almost $17MM if he is not re-signed before free agency begins. That has to be accounted for before signing someone else under the cap, and then re-signing Jrue over the cap. Only creates about $5MM in theoretical space over what his max would be. More likely he'll be extended midseason a little higher than that $17MM per if we are headed in the right direction.

That team looks decent actually. Fricking Pels finding ways to trick me into the arena. Oh well see you guys on gamedays.

We are not better offensively. Much better on defense thought. Jure and AD better be able to score in bunches.

Hield is possibly the best shooter we've had since Peja. E'Twuan Moore is a good 3 point shooter off the bench who isn't a black hole on defense like our previous bench scoring. This team should be able to score

I have this thought that Moore, who is a decent shooter and a great defender, would play more of the defensive SG Sefolosha/Allen role and would be better off as the 3rd or 4th option as a starter than the #2 guy on the bench.

While Hield comes off the bench with Tyreke as the #2 option and gets more opportunities to score buckets.

Klay came off the bench as a rookie, still got a good volume of shots. That is what i envision at least.

Good write up from TBW on the current cap situation after Hill and Moore signings:

LINK

Looks like signing Fraizer is no longer a sure thing and signing Ennis would be nearly impossible unless we make a trade.

Fischer is also a big fan of swapping Tyreke for Gibson, saying it makes a ton of sense for both teams.

arguable.

Gee, Ryno, Cole, and EG combined for 17.3 makes on 40.7 attempts (42.5%), 8.5 APG, and 5.5 TOV.

Hield, Moore, Hill, are going to get maybe 30 of those shots; leaves 10 more for AD, Jrue, Tyreke to split.

If Hill is your starting 3, you're going to need Hield's scoring to compliment AD. Reke and Moore seem like good options to run the 2nd unit.

I didn't know Shooting 3s was the only way to score points. Jrue can give you 16 and AD 26 but I don't see Moore, Hill, Q, Dante, or Fraizer cracking over 10 ppg. At best Hield will give us 12-13. Last couple of season we had 4 guys who would give us at least 15 ppg.

I think jrue can give us closer to 18 now that we don't have a bunch of ball hogs in the back court.

To be honest the second unit looks like it made for Reke.Moore, Q,and Dante are all 3 and D guys who can space the floor and let him drive and kick.
