Any chance this becomes the lineup/depth now that we’ve secured Smart and Timelord for the long-haul (am quite intrigued by Timelord/Horford switching 4/5 on the defensive end depending on opposing matchups, with Brown/Tatum starting in their natural positions):

Schröder/Smart/Pritchard/Edwards
Brown/Richardson/Dunn
Tatum/Nesmith
Horford/Parker/Williams
Timelord/Kanter/Fernando

Odd man out: Langford for a 2nd round pick because clearly we can’t get anything for Edwards or Fernando right now, and one of the three has got to go (we do not like cap hits). If we’re not championship contenders at the deadline and/or Dunn is worthless, we may be able to move Dunn for a heavily protected second round pick (or Dunn + a 2nd swap) and drop below the luxury line.

Next year, we opt out of Horford’s final year and obviously re-sign him to one final cap-friendly contract to round out his stellar career off the bench. We’d essentially have these guys on the books, so getting depth at the 4 (e.g., re-signing Parker and/or GWill) would be key:

Pritchard/Madar
Smart/Richardson/Begarin
Brown/Nesmith
Tatum
Timelord/Horford

Thoughts?

Do we really need another depth chart/who makes the final roster thread?

Well, this also speculates on positioning heading into the 2022-2023 off-season, which is important to keep in mind. We’ve obviously got a lot to discuss/imagine.

Yeah, so do it one of the several threads that already exist about the topic.  There is absolutely nothing in this thread deserving of a new thread.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

The suggestion to trade Langford to get down to 15 men then.
