I would start Rozier Martin Bacon Bridges Zeller

or Rozier Bacon Bridges PJ Zeller

Honestly, I like any line-up permutation combining Rozier, Bacon, Martin, Bridges, PJ, Williams, Zeller

I think it'll be something like:

Terry - Trade Value
Batum - Trade Value
Marv -Trade Value
Miles - Young
Zeller - Trade Value & by far best center
-----------
I would go full tank commander:

Terry
Monk
Bacon
Miles
PJ

id love to see pj get starter mins. i dont think there is any reason to ease him in. i dont expect it opening night, but i think it could happen after the all star break for sure if hes play is good enough or hes shown flashes.

I want PJ to get minutes as well, but it's not cool to throw a rookie (with some exceptions) out on the court before they're acclimated to the NBA grind. They need at least till the all-star break to get ready.

I was looking ahead to next year's free agency and came to the conclusion that Mitch should be able to easily address the center position. All of these guys are massive upgrades over Willy and Biz:

Derrick Favors
Alex Len
LaMarcus Aldridge
Mason Plumlee
Marc Gasol
Serge Ibaka
Montrezl Harrell
Hassan Whiteside
Tristan Thompson
Bobby Portis

Even the discount guys like Henson, Baynes, Miles Plumlee, Myers Leonard, and Vonleh might be better.

Kobi Simmons averaged 8 points per game as a freshman and declared for the draft. Who the hell told him to do that?

I feel like MJ is just trolling at this point.
The Charlotte Hornets will win their first round series against the Boston Celtics in the 2021 Playoffs

Added to the list of teams having worse off-seasons then us, but in different sports:

I think Antonio Brown may be the most clueless/dumbest player in the NFL

And that's saying something

Cody Zeller is the only positive impact player on the roster. Unless Bridges, Monk, and/or Rozier break out this team is going to be so bad.

Too bad Zeller will miss 50 games due to hitting his knee on a night stand.

If he misses that many games the team will go from top 5 bad to the worst team in the NBA.

I think Bridges is a positive and Rozier should be, plus Marv is decent as role player but yeah, we are going to be really bad unless Monk and/or PJ is excellent and the twins are legit NBA players. Batum could be if he felt like it. Lot's of IF's.

What position do you guys think the team will finish in?

I can't decide if this team or the Wizards will finish with a better record. So I've got us as the 3rd or 4th worst team behind the Cavs, Knicks, and possibly the Wizards.
