Ball/Frank/NWA
Jrue/Reddick/Hart/Moore
Ingram/Kenny Hustle
Zion/Niko/Wood
Okafor/Hayes

Still need a starting center. Probably could trade Moore for some future assets and extra cap space.

I think the Pels can hold off and get a solid enough one on the cheap.

A traditional around the basket center is one of the easier positions to fill these days. And there are basically more rotation capable centers out there than actual teams in the league.

Honestly what we need is another small forward.

Center will be easy to fill all season. Especially since Zion will likely play 5-15 minutes at the position a night.

i don't see Moore making it, tbh... a lot of money to just sit there, bc he won't EVER see the court behind those 3... hell, Hart is gonna have a tough time finding playing time.... better learn the 3 real quick...

I'd be fine with that.

He can play 3-5 and is sort of what you want to fill out your bench given you don't know what positions might suffer injury and it's nice to have a guy that can fill in minutes at several positions.

Hart has played the 3 a lot and would be good against smaller ones. Gotta think that Nico would play against bigger ones. Besides, as I said in another thread, Jrue and Lonzo can both defend well against most opposing 3s.

Please forgive my ignorance, but is Lonzo Ball really that much better than Payton? I really liked how the offense looked with Elfrid on the floor.

I edited out the part that it could get ugly because I think there are a lot of players that can adjust up and down their natural position, but I still think if you are trying to balance out the roster we need another natural small forward before we need another center.

I was really hoping we could have snatched up Carroll but the Spurs got him. Would have fit that role perfectly. Guy that is naturally a 3-4 but can defend up and down and stretch the floor. Along with being a good veteran presence.

Yeah I think Hart is our backup 3. NAW is the backup point

I would say Lonzo has a higher up side. But hell, Payton had 5 straight triple doubles and when he was starting we were winning ball games.

People forget some of Ingrams best stretches as a pro came playing more of a point forward role.

I wouldn't rule out lineups where Ingram is initiating the offense several possessions in a row with Redick, Hart, Zion, and Jrue playing off that.
