Thats a pretty tall lineup. Taller than us. Wonder if they click and give us some trouble.

I just saw the box score and noticed Jalen Johnson and Trae played 40 minutes a piece - what’s up with that in preseason?

Oh look guys.. KCP remembered how to shoot now that he is in MEM

I wish KCP well.

His play last year also led us to getting Bane.

Can't be mad about that or how he performs going forward.

His prior and subsequent shooting further reinforces the fact that our scheme (last year) was criminally bad and that Prunty may be the most impactful addition. Adding talent is great but it’s not enough.

And ORLANDO:

Suggs: 6'5"
Bane: 6'6"
F Wagner: 6'11"
Banchero: 6'11"
Carter: 6'10"

Not a short team!

(These are with-shoe heights)

Everyone’s “bigs” are big…having two big, physical guards and a 6’10 wing is what makes ORL big…throw in AB and Isaac’s length - both, at times, defending backcourt players - that’s when a team feels oversized

What does Jett need to show to have his option picked up for next season?

Right now, I’d put it around a 65% chance he’s declined. The front office will probably look to do some cap maneuvering to:

1. Stay under the first apron next offseason


2. Create flexibility to re-sign Tyus or Moritz



We’ll have non-Bird rights on Tyus, meaning we can give him up to a 120% raise or use part of the MLE instead. Of course, if Jase develops, that could make re-signing Tyus less essential.

In all likelihood, Jett becomes one of the sacrifices needed to stay below the apron and he probably won’t be the only one.

Hawks give us trouble regardless of height.

They didn’t at all in the last Play in.
