Roster Talk

[Hoopvortex]

Assuming, we have the following:

Ball-handlers: Irving, Rozier, Smart, Wanamaker
Wings: Hayward, Brown, OPEN
Swings: Tatum, Morris, Ojeleye, Yabusele
Bigs: Horford, Baynes, Theis, Williams III

I have questions, so many questions.

Is Smart a ball-handler? It’s true that they run offense through him, but that’s true of Brown, Tatum, and Horford. In a side-note, I wish that he’d get his turnovers under control.

Is Tatum a swing? Tatum played plenty of wing last season, and that’s likely to continue. The C’s most used lineup, for one major instance, had him on the court with both Horford and Baynes.

Is Yabusele a swing? I have my doubts. I think he’s a big who struggles to guard quicker players. I have my doubts about his future as a Celtic, to be honest... but he was a rookie, after all.

Vet Min Targets
- Jamal Crawford
- Vince Carter
- Michael Beasley
- Devin Harris

You’re not blowing me away here. Wouldn’t it be better to develop young talent?

This is all to say that our team is sort of predicated on blowing up (even the newer) roster paradigms.

I agree - whatever the paradigm, the player with crossover skills or attributes has an advantage.

Rozier might be another, depending on how you feel about his handle and passing (I'm lukewarm on both).

I don’t know what temperature I am about his passing - warm, I guess, not hot. But I am muy caliente about his handling. Moves it quickly, too, and with very low turnovers.

I may be only one here but i rather have Dwight Howard on the roster..He is a very good player still..

You might in fact be the only one
I think a good small point brought up is jabari bird.  I think he should stick around and gives us a Jamal Crawford like shooter off bench

Tyreke Evans is the one guy I would go after.

Tyreke Evans is the one guy I would go after.

I think that is one of Indiana's main targets which actually makes me happy that it's not Smart.

I have the roster losing Banes and Smart
PG- Irving, Rozier, Wanna
SG- Brown, Nader*
SF- Hayward, Morris, Semi
PF- Tatum, Williams, Yab
C- Horford, Theis,

I'd actually look at trading Morris for a SG. Maybe to Heat with a pick for Winslow. Winslow has been stuck at SF since Heat have Waiters and Ellington. At SG he is better and would replace Smart's defense. Another option would be Alex Abrines from the Thunder if they lose PG he would provide 3pt shooting off the bench.

For Center I'd love to get Favors at the MLE but he is looking for 15 million plus. So fall back is probably Noel or Len.
Roster with these changes would be something like


PG-Irving, Rozier, Wanna
SG- Brown, Winslow
SF- Hayward, Semi, Nader
PF- Tatum, Theis, Williams
C- Horford, Noel, Yab

I could live with that roster as it has solid depth.

I want to gag when I see Nader in the rotation. I don't want to see him on this team. He's terrible. You want to trade Morris for Winslow and make Winslow a SG? Thank god that Danny did not get Winslow originally and now we can see what he is or isn't.

We NEED Smart and we NEED Baynes.

If all else fails, i wouldnt mind seeing Greg Monroe back
