As is?

Simons
White
Hauser
Brown
Queta

Queta's job on offense is to rebound and set screens. Nothing more. Let those guys let it fly from 3.

Bench players that will actually play:

PP
Baylor
Garza
Dunkin Donuts Niang

The rest of the lot shouldn't see the court...Walsh, Davison, Hugo, Tillman should get very little run.

Guess we?ll find out if Joe can coach

I agree about Queta starting and him just rebounding, setting screens, throwing down dunks, and playing def.  Lots of 3 point shooting, literally got to guard out against everyone but Queta.  But not much def.  We are like the Atlanta Hawks next year.

Also, if Brad loves Hugo so much, he better dam well tell Joe to play him.   Why did we draft him to sit him at the end of a sucky roster?

At this point...shouldn't the Cs go ahead and try to get under the first apron? What is the point of staying under the second and above the first?

C's should try to get out of tax entirely. Way more beneficial long term to reset that way

Yep and that's going to require another 13M in savings.

Are we that close? I thought it was closer to 20?

Ideally we could get there with Simons and Niang trades. Although I suspect Simons would cost too much to move. Might be Hauser and Niang instead. Either way Id do it.

Agree. I'd like to see Baylor and Hugo get minutes. Joe just doesn't play rookies. I guess this year he has to.

No desire to see Walsh play big minutes. Seen enough of that guy.

[SparzWizard]

This is so depressing

Just bring back the 16-17 Isaiah Thomas roster. They're much more fun to watch.

I actually think Walsh might not be so terrible. He plays hard. Looks decent on defense. His shot doesn?t look awful. Maybe he won?t suck?

[trickybilly]

Gonna be brutal watching Garza's dirt ugly jump shot.

But I like that he has shown flashes in many areas and could maybe be a nice trade piece if he builds value

[Redz]

Kornet to Spurs? Is that confirmed?

[Goldstar88]

Kornet to Spurs? Is that confirmed?

Guess so! Thought it was Warriors.

[Jiri Welsch]

Kornet to Spurs? Is that confirmed?

Kornet to Spurs was confirmed by Shams. Still waiting to hear about Horford, but looking more and more likely that he?ll move on as well.

Walsh is 21. He turned 21 in March. Good energy. Very well may be a never-contributor but I haven?t given up quite yet.

After seeing how how Neismith turned out, might be too early to give up on Walsh.

It?s amazing that the Warriors assembled a team that included the two best shooters of this era, one of the best defenders, and for a couple of years an MVP, and won multiple titles, whereas Boston (Danny and Brad, basically) spent 10 years on a master plan that brought only one title, and a year later that team is a shell of its former self.

[radiohead]

Al must be really weighing his options as it?s taking long for him to decide. I imagine a part of him really wants to stay in Boston.
