Hey, I don't know where this belongs, so I made a new thread....I have no idea what the status of guys like Lin, Boozer, Hill, Davis, etc is...are they suppose to come back next year?
What is the exact roster for this upcoming season?

the only ones Im sure of are:

russell
clarkson
kobe
sacre
wes
young
randle
nance jr.
kelly
black
anthony brown
dwight buycks

are these 11 guys our only guaranteed players to come back this year? is everyone else from lin to hill to boozer gone?
because, I'm trying to predict the starting 5 and bench rotation for next year-

i have it as

clarkson/russell/buycks
kobe/young/jabari brown
wes/kelly/anthony brown
randle/nance
sacre/black

for f*** sake, thats a trash roster

Buycks and Wes aren't signed, Jabari has a non-guaranteed contract I believe.

Black is way better than Sacre and also there's no reason not to start Russell with the current roster
Russell
Clarkson/Young
Kobe/Brown
Randle/Kelly/Nance
Black/Sacre

Not sure why people keep posting Clarkson starting over Russell. He's our future and one of our best players without even playing a single game. He will be starting. The real question is will Clarkson start at the 2 or will Kobe not want to move to sf? I'd go with Kobe at the 3. Would be interesting if we could get someone like Wesley Matthews. But I'm sure he will sign elswhere. Seems like

Russell
Clarkson/Kobe/Young
Kobe/Young
Randall/???
???/ ????/ Sacre
