Think about that.
replacing ross and rj with black and howard
as i recall ross and rj barely played
And as constructed, Black and Howard will barely play. (the roster must change to give Black "some" minutes).

Just to be 100% clear, last years 34-win team would’ve had a different record with actual guard play for the first stint of the season. Even taking two guards in the lottery (both of whom could have some positional flexibility), could be perceived as insurance against another crippling injury season. I do believe there’s still some sort of trade incoming…but no idea which guard(s) or when.
ANd-1
The guard rotation for the first 20 games was horrible. F-Wagner was the primary starting SG as a result.

Wouldn’t call it baffling, but WeltHam doesn’t ever make for much of an interesting offseason.
Although it makes a lot more sense running it back when you have your core than doing it year after year with Vuc/Evan/AG.

Wait.... if they are the Cantina Band, then they are the best song in the league, every time!

Think about that.
Anyone focusing on the 34 wins part instead of the “they kept all four rotation guards from last year’s team and then drafted two guards in the lotto on top of that” part doesn't get it.

Re: Magic Fully Guarantee the Contracts of Markelle Fultz and Gary Harris
With this move and the draft certainly gives us more depth vs last year. Are we creeping up there now as one of the better benches?
Second, the ones worried about not making moves/trades, I don't see the hurry, we are contending for a playoff spot, not ready to title contend yet. Moves will be made at some point but no need to rush.

We had one of best benches last year.
Problem with nba depth & bench is fact it's usless thing in playoffs. People roll 7 men. Your 10th being better than opposing 6th doesn't mean that much.
Denver won ring with Jeff Green as 7th best player
