If TT is alarmingly anal in his rotations, cross Roby off the list in anticipation of RJ.sliding over to a Small Ball PF with a second unit of IH, RJ, JH,  DD and IQ. 

Would hope to see the Hartenstein offensive role have evolved from the limited sets of last season.

Maybe one day Les will tell us who he considers the top nine roster guys who should be mainstays of this rotation.


Well ain't gonna be too different from Chip's anal TT scenario...and I think Deuce will see more action than Roby.

So Deuce, Hartenstein, Roby and DiVincenzo are the rotation fringe while Mitch, JR, RJ, Grimes, Brunson, IQ and Hart are the superior seven.

Looking at the fringe four and potentially having the Fournier contract to play with how can we get palpably better without getting radically different.

Is Doug McBuckets a palpably better wing than DiVincenzo or better forward than Roby? He is probably a bit better for Chemistry than Fournier and could teach a thing or two to RJ and Grimes. Is that worth a future second rounder, say one we got for Obi, to get SA to take the extra money?

I would probably say yes, though I

No way Isaiah and Donte are fringe.

PS: Remains to be seen if TT revisits his rotation strategies with a year of Brunson in the can, and players he has greater trust in than Obi.

Leon has moved on from players Thibs was not invested in.

Obi.  Kemba.  Rose.  Fournier.  Cam. 

Burks and Taj being exceptions. 

 
Clearly, Hart and DiVicenzo are Thibs choices.

Again, like McDermott.  Think if Thibs was on board, would be a done deal.

LeBron James' son suffered cardiac arrest during a USC practice.

Kind thoughts to him and his family. 

Put me in mind of Reggie Lewis.  And Hank Gathers.

PJ Washington has yet to come to terms with Charlotte.

I would offer Evan, stashed Rokas and three future second rounders for PJ starting in an Evan price range and a team option on the  back end.

I see him as a better fit with Julius and RJ than either are with each other. I also see him opening the door to small ball without putting Jules at the 5.

It makes us expensive when we pay IQ and Hart but I also think it makes us good enough to want to spend the money.

Mitch Hartenstein Sims
Randle Washington
RJ Hart Roby
Grimes DiVincenzo Jefferies
Brunson IQ McBride

Love PJ, like hour trade, but do.not see this as a realistic scenario.  Either money wise nor accepting limited rotation minutes.

Some ideas?  REALISTIC IDEAS.

Fournier plus some second rounders to the Spurs for Reggie Bullock.  Thibs loves him, knows his defensive principles, can still spot up threes,  and a chemistry bond with Julius. 

Taj Gibson as a 15th man PF/C, player coach.  Could mentor Roby and Sims and the new 2-way big, certainly capable of 10-12 a night at PF, even at 38.

You have jumped below the rotational nine line. Someone may come to scoff at you about that.

I see Randle and Washington being a potentially acceptable small ball frontcourt look even to Thibs & recognize that Randle coming off surgery could benefit from a small dial back in workload

Mitch 22 Washington 14 Hartenstein 12
Randle 32 Washington 16

30 minutes on a contending team is better than 32 or 34 on the committed tank mission Charlotte is about to embark on.

There may be better non marginal ideas for moves. I am waiting to hear one

Behind RJ and Hart, Reggie would be marginal.

15-20 for a sixth or seventh man is fine. 10 for the eleventh or twelfth man is nuts.

Fair enough

Remains to be seen how,  with a roster purpose driven by personnel decisions that suit THIBS' preferences, and rotational options more to his liking
and with a fully vetted and broken in Brunson, how TT evolves.

Including Rotations.
