Can we win by bringing our team back?

Re: Can we win by bringing our team back?

Count me as a no.   Too much injuries year and out as our big three is old and prone to injury.   We need an interior big who can board.

Krystic would make a big difference.  24 minutes, split time with KG, Steimsma as 3rd string.  KG can take nights off.

Al Thornton might be a consideration at PF for cheap money (< MLE).  He can score and board, and would be cheaper than Bass.

Wilcox could come back and start at PF.  He can score and board, too.

And Pierce and the big/long JGreen splitting time at SF further adds to front line rebounding.

I consider it very unlikely.

I do not expect KG to be as effective next season.

It is a champion caliber roster, but unlikely to win a title given age and other health factors.  If everything went right then maybe ... but count on something not going well and the odds get longer.  That said, I would rather bring everyone back and give them the dignity of one more shot while enjoying this group for a full season.

I think the age factor is the main reason to go with the ensemble/platoon at each position.  everyone (except Rondo and Bradley) plays 24 minutes.  It'd be like when Hubie Brown was coaching in Memphis.

We have a great potential front line, and great potential 3-guard rotation, for a nice 9-player playoff rotation by retreading players we have rights to.

Rondo/Bradley/Moore
Bradley/Ray
Pierce/JGreen
Wilcox/Bass
KG/Krystic
