If it was a year where we were considered to be East contenders, it would be very risky to deploy the BIG lineup, but based on the numbers posted earlier - if the BIG unit is able to generate offense (to me this means AG is getting 18-20 a game, JI is giving us 12-16, Bamba around 10 if he gets 25 mins) they may be able to hold teams to around 100 points and score 102-104.
Short term with the Magic probable for V. I. G. as the front court, it will be interesting to see how many wins come in the first 20 games. If the Magic is over 50%, this will be an interesting management decision for the Brass to consider. But if it is not working, not only is Vučević traded so Bamba can start, but this implies that Isaac and Gordon did not mesh and either Isaac is pushed to the bench or he is traded.
Frankly Gordon is nearly untraceable at this point, given how favourable his contract is moving towards a FA push next off season and the one after that.
