Fournier and 2 picks for DeRozan

Caruso for TPE and a pick

off waivers: Lowry for the leadership, Hayward for his playmaking and slashing ability and Gallinari to reconcile the fandom :D

the deepest championship team all time

Sounds good until you try to figure how the minutes.

The only one that is gone from our team in your proposal is someone who doesn't even play. Which means, someone in our current rotation will be on the outside looking in, or you will have chemistry issues later with the new acquisitions.

It's not gonna work.


outside of Caruso they are all very injury prone... like Boston team in 2007-2010... plenty old stars as 3rd stringers

DeRozan won't be happy on a team without a specific role. And he likely still sees himself as a starter. How will that work out here?

#1 Option - Caruso
#2 Option - Brogdon
#3 Option - Brown

No to Murray, Clarkson, Sexton, etc.

If you can't play defense, then keep it moving.

With 5 out of our 7 best players injured pretty often, he can be a startet more than half of the time, and play in any case 28+ min per game

Brunson/Deuce
DDV
Hart
Precious
iHart/Taj

Losing Grimes right now really sucks even more. Thibs can't possibly run a 6 man rotation....can he? :lol: We have to at least play Taj. I would not rush OG back but, we know what's about to happen. All in for a 10 game regular season streak! I can't lie though, I want this win really bad!!

Scary thought. I would hope they don't rush him back. This team is on the precipice of a finals run and the wheels start falling off amid the best run in 30 years!! It is crushing my spirit!! Fingers crossed we can keep it afloat without damaging the entire season.

Harrenstein’s one strand of healthy achilles is the only thing stopping Thibs from killing the entire top-8 rotation except the Nova Boys.

My first attempt at using AI to show Jalen Brunson. It really botched his face and uniform, and put the basket where it doesn't belong, but it got the general idea of him being a dragon on the court.

It also fenced in the fans and doesn't have anywhere for the teams to sit.

Oh well, Eve has nothing to fear from Bing!

Peak Brunson hasn't been reached yet, I really feel like he'll score 40-50 tomorrow..
