Brehs I know was pessimistic as hell this season, but I think we might be a legit title contender in a year or two.
If we can retain Whiteside longterm, we can be that Memphis Grizzlies style team for 2017 til possible 2018.
All we need to do is to develop a cheap young bench player or two and we can compete for a title.

Dragic
Wade
Winslow
Bosh
Whiteside

Bench: McBob; cheap young 3&D wing, cheap young PG

2017 ECF lock :ehh:

can Winslow play the 2 and the 3?

Easily. He's fast enough for the 2 and strong enough for the 3. He'll probably have more success at the 3 because he's not a dude who creates his own shots (Mostly due to a lack of creativity because he's an overall solid ball handler) but I think he'll be an absolute stud in 3 years but he's ready to contribute now.

If Deng opts out we may have room to give Wade his money AND resign Tragic and Whiteside

If he's as good on D as you guys say he is Ennis can forget it. Dude will get the bulk of the playing time. Ennis does too many dumb things on defense
Bruh did you bot watch Winslow play last year? Dude was hands down one of the best defenders in college basketball.

Truth. Dude is one of those Jimmy Butler types that gives a hundred percent on defense and offense.

He's probably better than any non-Deng perimeter players outside of being a rookie meaning he'll still get hit with them vet moves.

My ideal rotation
Dragic
Wade
Ennis
Bosh
Whiteside

Bench: Bazz; Ennis, Winslow, McBob, Bird

It's in our best interest to go 10 man rotation, because our starting 5 is pretty old; our second unit can run, and we get to develop Bazz and Ennis into solid bench players. Ultimately I believe Winslow will be a starter, but more than likely we'll be too capped out to get FA's in 2016, so we need some of our young guys to be solid bench pieces.

Ennis is pretty athletic and can become a solid defender/shooter, sure Winslow will be a great defender, but we'll need multiple athletic wings if we going to roll with a old backcourt in 2016-2017 season. Bazz is not a bad look off the bench, because he can pass a bit and shoot. I doubt it happens, but I really hope we have a deep rotation next year

He really is a jimmy boy type of defender. I honestly think he can be a Kahwi type of defender too. He may not get the steals because Kiwi has those baseball mits as hands.
