Whoever we sign is probably not going to play much. Maybe a backup big can get some minutes.

Probably sign Ennis, maybe Moe. Wondering what happens with Otto.

Was just about to post this. This is big for our future 1st from the bulls. He was the defense in the paint. They even started playing him alongside Vuc once they figured out Vuc couldn't be counted on to defend the paint.

Yeah, honestly, I can't think of many FAs that I would want to take away minutes from our young guys. Every position is loaded with a bunch of 23 or younger guys right now.

Oh same... but I dont want our young guys to be beaten black and blue for the full 82 games. We need to spell them sometimes. Plus with the injury history of our bigs... i dont want Franz to play C and Okeke play PF just cuz we have no one else to throw out there.

Clips would not be bad for Porter Jr with Kawhi being injured for the year.

Hell, we need to get rid of a vet or two. Now that we have Suggs, I don't want Harris stealing ANY minutes from Suggs, RJ, or Fultz at the 2 spot.

My ideal lineup halfway through the year once JI and Fultz are back:

WCj/Bamba
JI/ Ennis
Franz/Okeke/MCW
RJ/Fultz
Suggs/Cole

Where does Ross or Harris get playing time? They aren't scrubs but we can't have the 4 young guys sit either. Ennis and MCW are good vets to keep around but are they willing to play a reduced role on a bad team?

We could use another C and PF... if only we had a high 2nd round pick to draft one... :banghead:

It's the Heat, so it'll probably all work out for them, but I feel like they're making a lot of moves to lose in the second round in 5-6 for the next few years.
