Yeah the rotation is crowded now - they dont mind Zel being a ball handler off the bench tho. So there could be room for a bench lineup like Holiday, Zel, Hutch, Portis, WCJ. Thats solid floor spacing and they should be able play with good pace. They also seem to think Payne can be a solid backup PG? I dont know. Maybe they unload Holiday for a 2nd round pick? Plenty of teams could use a guy like him

Dunn/Payne
Lavine/Holiday
Jabari/Zel/Hutch
Lauri/Portis
WCJ/Robin/Felicio (I could see them starting Robin tho)

I'm a bigger fan of Holiday than I am Valentine. The only problem with that bench lineup is who can defend the point? I don't think any of those guys are capable, at least not consistently.

Hutchison was decent playing that same role (in college) that you mentioned for Valentine.

I think y'all should move Portis for a Payne upgrade and stagger minutes to let Jabari play more 4 than he'd be able to with the current roster. Then when Lauri is done resting you have plenty of options to run the 3 while Parker rests.

I wouldn't be opposed to swapping Portis for Cory Joseph (and whatever else to make the money match, Portis/Payne would be close), fukk TJ Leaf:mjgrin:

This nikka bron love so much attention :scust:

Him coming to LA has opened my eyes up a lot :patrice:

Maybe Kyrie was right about him being more focused on promoting himself than winning rings :manny:
