There are currently 20 guys on the roster, which is the max in pre-season camp, correct? And they have to get to 15 + 2-ways? Is there a cut date, or just get there before the season officially starts.
McLaughlin and Omoruyi are the current 2-way guys.
So at least 3 cuts (IMO) come from:
Feron Hunt
Carlik Jones
Tyrell Terry
Moses Brown
Trey Burke
I think Burke stays for salary matching. My heart says Brown stays because of potential, but there is already a crowd at 4/5. That leaves Hunt, Jones and Terry. Hunt and Jones can preferentially sign a G-league contract. Terry has a contract, but it's time to cut bait with him.
I would have included Green, but he's a FRP with a FRP contract, so I guess he stays but may be another salary match for future trades.
Also, if Brown stays and shows some fit, does that make one of the other bigs expendable? At some point there will be inquiries due to injury or other need. I have to say though, Brown looks like a kid in the photo on the website. That's not a judgement about what he can do.
As far as anyone knows, the roster is healthy going into training camp?
