Lauri isn't a role player but he's probably not worth 45M.

Still, i think it's very obvious that Horat loves the idea of very tall dudes who can shoot playing next to Giannis. Think of Mirotic, the kid we just drafted, and to a lesser but still valid extent: Bobby Portis.

We desperately need a true wing who can defend and has some offense. This three guard lineup stuff is fun in theory but I have a feeling there is a ceiling on it when going up against the best of the best. Who that wing is, i have no idea.

Yup. AJ Green is not a 3. He simply can’t defend it. Rollins has taken his spot at back up 2. His role on this team is great in theory, but diminished in reality. He’s one of the (very) few assets we have that may be more valuable to another team than he is to us. Need to trade him for a wing. Bring me Eason Horst.

AJ Green is completely ensconced as the starter at the 2. Everything we're trying to do this year is based on the spacing he provides. It's why lineups including him dominate.
