If AG can get him to play some defense Malik can be useful. He'll probably never be prime Wes, though.

NBAdraft.net died with this comparison. RIP.

Those early 2000s nbadraft.net comparisons were wildin. Rudy Gay was Pippen. Any white euro big projected early a year or two in advance was Pau.

Have to appreciate the very salty (yet fair) rebuttal on the Stevenson page.

Cam / Beasley / Dre / Portis looks interesting

Shaffty · Post #1448 » by **Shaffty** » Mon Oct 2, 2023 2:19 am

Dame/Payne/Ajax
Marjon/Beasley/Green
Khris/PattyC/Livingston
Giannis/Jae/Thanasis
Brook/Bobby/Brolo

it was

Jrue/Jevon/Dragic
Grayson/Wes/Green
Khris/Jingles/Marjon
Giannis/Jae/Thanasis
Brook/Bobby/Meyers Leonard

Pretty crazy revamp with basically no assets

He had nagging injuries all year last season but I haven’t heard yet at least about that continuing on now.

Maybe Connaughton can step up playing (once again) alongside Dame in Adrian / Stotts’ system. Our collective ball handling and playmaking is so much better making his weaknesses there matter less.

Possible Pat’s in for a career year.

So much harder to put Pat and his complete inability to slide his feet between Dame and Khris. That said if we're playing drop, his ability to recover for a rear contest is useful on high ball screens.

Yeah there’s simply no way that Pat is our starting 2. He can’t guard 1s so Lillard can be hidden on 2s. Pretty much the only guy on the roster with a shot at it is Dre.

I think Bullock will get paid more then vet min

Boston has a few open roster spots

Who gets waived to bring Bullock in?

Seeing MarJon going from 3rd stringer who barely played to be counted on to start and likely play 30 mpg is very risky. I hope Horst & AG are right cause if they are he's a perfect fit. But if they are not we might be SOL

Green, Marjon, Livingston are probably your candidates.

I think we ultimately roll with what we have though. We'd eat this year's salary on Green and Marjon, this and next for Livingston.

Crowder coming in with full training camp and a lot to prove could be huge too. We overhauled our roster from the under the radar contender to prime Warriors KD status. Will be interesting to see how Giannis does under that pressure.

Any of the people in SG could start by the start of the season lol

Payne is a perfectly fine back-up PG. And can occasionally be a microwave scorer, which is HUGE in a hotly contested playoff game and/or series.

Milbucks96 · Post #1457 » by **Milbucks96** » Mon Oct 2, 2023 2:36 am

I think Pat is going to start because he’s just the best player available. If Dame can’t put a little effort in on defense to defend pg’s with a way smaller offensive load, then it’s not going to work because he can’t be hidden with this roster.

blazza18 · Post #1458 » by **blazza18** » Mon Oct 2, 2023 2:42 am

Swapping Dame for Jrue is a huge upgrade offensively and I'm more confident in them because of it but everything else is up in the air and we're going to need to figure things out defensively.

CharityStripe34 · Post #1459 » by **CharityStripe34** » Mon Oct 2, 2023 2:51 am

Now very interested in seeing how Griffin handles coaching duties and scheming the defense.
