Not going to lie, I liked the Klay and Middleton experience.  A lot will be determined by the draft pick, but I think both are good, solid players still.    I think I would prefer Middleton over Bagley, If I had to choose.   

With Cooper though Klay, Middleton, Marshall, PJ seems like one too many.   So it may be a little difficult.    Neither Klay or Middleton will probably still be around if we are hopefully a contender again.  Although, I am in favor of having good, smart players throughout the roster.   I think their size and shooting are welcome additions.

I'd take Klay over Middleton, but that's mostly due to being loyal to Klay who's been a good soldier and great teammate in the basketball hell he finds himself in.  I'd try to do right by him this summer based on his wishes to stay or be traded (if a suitable partner can be found).  If Klay wants out and we can find a deal, I wouldn't mind Middleton as an alternative.  I don't really want both of them on the team though.

I think it's time to say goodbye to Diamond and put Cisse in that role.  Cisse isn't as steady but is the better rebounder and plays better defense.

I'd like to keep Bagley around.  I was pretty down on him at the TDL, but I think he can be a useful bench piece and considering the health issues of Gafford/Lively, he can soak up minutes.

I've come around on BWill and Nembhard as the 3rd PG on the team, I'm just not sure you need both of them.  BWill has an elite skill, better offensively even if his 3PT % is bad.  Nembhard is the better assist maker.  Both are terrible on D.  I guess it will come down to roster spots.

I'm mostly out on Smith/Johnson.  

I hope we trade Christie and Christie.  I wouldn't be upset if we did the same with Gafford and Lively.

I want to see more of Poulakidas, but the early impressions are very impressive.

We are stuck with Martin.

Marshall and Flagg are untouchable.  Kyrie too unless he wants to be traded.
