Lively | Holmes | Kleber | McGee
Then we have
Kyrie
Green
Luka
with Hardy, O‘Max and the remainings of Hardaway and Bullock manning 1 to 3 including the bulk of the bench minutes.
Which Power Forward would be the best fit next to these starters?
Washington?
Hachimura?
Williams?
Grant?
Kuzma?
Draymond Green should earn much more and is therefore disqualified, isn’t he?
Exotic alternative would be
Bruce Brown
at the two, pushing Green to the three (or O’Max in?) and, most importantly, Luka to the 4.
Why could it work? Because Brown is a very good rebounder, even for a small forward.
So if you could choose one of the players above - or a guy I forgot - who would round out our starting five and compliment the other 4 estimated starters the best?
I feel like Grant Williams has to be the #1 option if we can get him
Hasn't been much of a scorer but hopefully that would pick up here. Everything else he offers would fit perfectly. Gotta think the Celtics would match the MLE though.
Bruce Brown would be nice. Wish he was a little bigger but at least he does play larger than you would think. The long arms help. Just from a contract perspective it might make sense to pursue him first since he dictates where he goes
And Harrison Barnes has to be in the conversation. Would be a super pickup for the MLE if he gets priced out
