I think we needed another player that could play small ball 5 (Kuzma doesn't count).
I wish we could've grabbed Marcus Morris, but you can't get them all. He could've been our PJ Tucker though.
I think we definitely need more 1 more wing defender and a big that can play small ball 5 to round out

Check out Cacok. He’s an energizer bunny big who dives on the floor, rips boards away from opponents rim runs and scraps. In a year, or in garbage time this season, he’s gonna be a fave of many fans.

How many centers do you need? We have 3 players that can competently play center.

I've seen highlights, and sure he could shoot, but let's not start getting ahead of ourselves quite yet. I'm not sure he's NBA ready

This offseason makes a lot more sense than last year. Last year it seemed like a plan failed other then lebron, leaving them scrambling. Still issues but the roster fit looks a lot better. I’m honestly not sure how many spots they have left. I’d personally add a shooter over a defender, as a stretch big.

I think they have shooting from a lot of bench players, and roles will be better defined this year.
Starters: Rondo, Green, James, Davis, Cousins.
Bench: Cook, KCP, Dudley, Kuzma, McGee.
Third stringers: Caruso, Daniels, Norvell, Horton-Tucker...
Just a few quick notes:
- Cousins should be better suited this year to work his way back, as the 3rd option (and not the 4th, like last year)
- Rondo's game and IQ is better fitted with veterans. He likes to manage personalities by getting them the ball and controlling the flow. Compared to last year's squad, who were better equipped to run, and were trying to prove themselves, Rondo's attributes should be a net positive this time.
- Kuzma off the bench is something I really like. Not because he's not good enough as a player, but because his game is so diverse. He's very fluid, makes quick decisions, can really score in many different situations.
Agree ? Disagree ?

It amazes me how many people here want Boogie as a starter and yet I bet most of them probably didn't even want him on the team a year or 2 ago LOL
I think he haas too earn the starting spot.
It's not like Mcgee is gonna be able to handle playing 30+ minutes a game anway, so Boogie will get plenty of playing time
Let him earn the starting spot...
I also believe the same thing for Green. I mean yes Green is a proven Vet. I just feel like we should be giving players who already played for the Lakers such as Mcgee, Kuz Caruso starting spots OVER guys who have only just showed up.
Starting line up for me
C) Mcgee
PF) AD
SF) Bron
SG) Kuzma - I think he'll be fine
PG) Caruso - give him a chance FFS
