So the remaining team looks like:
Starters: Kyrie, Klay, PJ (when healthy), AD, Lively (when healthy)
Optimal bench players: Exum, Christie, Martin (when he gets healthy), Naji, Gafford
Supplemental bench: Spencer, Hardy, OMax, Powell (when healthy), plus two-ways Kylor, Kessler, Williams
Thank goodness for the injuries, because tanking is key the rest of the way this year. Need our pick to be a good one, if not the Flagg consolation prize. Without the three injuries (four if you count Powell, which you shouldn't), that's a team that's way too good to tank and way too poor to make noise in the playoffs.
Have to say that the PJ-AD-Gafford frontcourt was way more impressive than I expected today, and actually makes me drool a little for PJ-AD-Lively (which we won't see for a long time - maybe next year). But way the hell too much quantity-not-quality in the guards.
