When I think of this I think, who should start over him?
Dlo again? I think the bench is only impactful with DLo on it, as bad as he's been.
Christie has barely been rotation level so I don't think starting him does anything for us. Same with Gabe.
I would say start Jax but he lost his leg just now and we don't have a backup big if we start Koloko.
DK4 at 2 guard? Maybe that is the best option we have, but I can't see him guarding anybody there.
I think it is dire straits until we make a trade or someone steps up in a big way. |
Nobody on the bench is capable of making the bench any good so let’s move one into the starting line up smh, not a good plan, whatever prob they caused for the bench they would cause for the starters.
It wouldn’t be good enough but the starters should be Dlo/AR/Rui/LBJ/AD, not that they are effective, but it is the most effective starting line up. Ham taught us that last year and we have to see same stuff over again.
The prob is Rob and the roster.

Stu definitely does. He probably thinks it’s easier to critique poor play, than add something when the team is playing well |

Period!!!
Either JJ makes rotation changes or Rob Pelinka needs to get a few new players in that can play defense.
We need it badly. |

I don’t leave as many issues starting all 5, but Dlo has to hit shots. And Dalton has to be the clear cut sixth guy with 25 mins and double digit shots like Pritchard in Boston, just come in firing the (bleep).
The issue is Gabe, Max, and Cam can’t give you 4 points between them and play 50 minutes in a game. Hell if they are going to do that, then (bleep) it play Bronny and see what he has at that point. You also can’t keep keep saying when Wood and Vando come back as they keep being weeks away from being weeks away. It’s at the point I would play Koloko and Hayes both in the rotation and say (bleep) it before I play 2 of Gabe, Cam, and Max in a game |

Next November, if AD is still here, I don't want to hear from him how one of their goals is to not lose two in a row. LOL! He tells us about this goal seemingly every year, and every year we are prolific at having losing streaks greater than 2 and many times during the course of the season too.

Jaxson Hayes needs to aggravate his game cause he’s useless in most instances |

I was trying to think of who called that out when I originally posted that he said that again this season. He LEGIT needs to stop saying that  |

I like Hayes. He’s just not the best backup center. He’s too lean.
We need a strong backup.
Not his fault he is 7 feet tall and only weighs 190 pounds. |

Ditto for Gabe V. & Max C, too. They haven't been up to the task and haven't contributed much, at all, so far this season. |

Dlo/Rui for Lavine/Vucevic seems like the right move for both teams so no picks needed in the deal. Use non-contributors Vincent/Vando/JHS/MaxLew to match salaries.
Pick up Dennis Smith Jr. and bring up Olivari/Traore/Koloko.
