That would be hilarious but who would we sent to them ? Cole, Caleb ? Still no space in the rotation unless we include one of Suggs, Black, Howard.

I do think some of the discussion is just speculative. I remember two offseasons ago a large debate was how many bigs we had and we had to trade them so people would get playing time.. and then our entire team was injured by the first month and we were playing two-way guys from our G League team.

The conversation is definitely starting to transition from roster to rotation construction.

What do you think the front office's mandate to Mosley is and how do you think he'll construct the rotation?

Cole or WCj should do it!

Then we can extend Isaac and resign Moe.

I do think they've overstocked the shelves, so it's going to be on them to consolidate or make a move at some point. I think da Silva and one of Black/Jett will get more chances than people think, and the other will be involved in trades. I just don't see KCP or Suggs not playing a lot this year. Maybe they have plans for all three though, who knows.

Da Silva could technically get backup PF minutes in place of Isaac getting backup Center minutes.

This could be a response to moving Carter if they just started Goga and re-signed Mo $wag$. They dont really need a third string Center in this case.

Moving one of Cole/Jett/AB and Carter for a point guard return could be an option. The only problem with this is that Suggs isnt coming off the bench and neither is KCP.

Gary Harris is 2/15 instead of 2/14…. No big deal but Woj just made the correction.

Has us as a winner for signing KCP over George and thinks we are making the right moves. Can we stop all the doom porn now?

Thank god.

Would’ve been cool to see Jameer Nelson Jr on the Magic SL roster, but he is with the Spurs.

Obvs a better opportunity for him to make the team there.

It almost seems inevitable that Orlando makes a consolidation trade. Orlando is DEEP.

Suggs/Anthony/Black
Pope/Harris/Howard
Wagner/?/Houstan
Banchero/Isaac/Silva
Carter/Wagner/Bitazde

Two of the current third stringers started for us last season and propelled us to one of the largest winning streaks in franchise history.

I guess you might as well bring back Ingles at this point for the minimum and call it an offseason.

Did we extend contract with JI yet?
