The back half of this roster needs a total revamp.

- Sign Gabriel to the open roster spot
- Cut Hodge
- Switch Lewis to a 2 way deal
- Sign Stanley Johnson

This could get ugly quick if either of Bron or Davis miss significant time. There is nothing else on this team.

Hi Tyler!

Wait, Gabriel and Stanley Johnson are available and unsigned? Aren’t there legit reasons why 30 teams have made a conscious decision not to hire these guys?
The bench or backups should have been Vando, Vincent, Hayes, all out.
Other teams are also missing players but I really think the main problem is that the whole team is so discouraged and lacked energy that their defensive anchor is out AGAIN! :banghead:
And they KNOW their coach do NOT have other schemes on how to mask their weaknesses.

Still early, but Ham deservingly under the hot seat already. Yes there have been injuries, but ample time to figure out rotations for all scenarios over the past summer. No consistent energy or effort from the team, still relying too much on talent for offensive production, and atrocious defensive schemes.

You can tell the entire roster still relies heavily on Lebron to set the tone. Lebron is not playing D and is coasting as he usually does early in the season. AD has never been that type of leader, so you can’t rely on him to set the tone. They need someone to take on that Rondo/Dwight/Dudley role from a few years ago otherwise it will be another set of tired legs come the play-in tournament.

Let’s give it 15 games for the defense to settle in a bit. Then when we trade D Lo and Reddish on Dec 15, hopefully Reaves will start as point.
