All in on the idea of starting Lively immediately as others have posted even if it’s just the fake McGee-starting spot. I don’t expect a ton of him early on & remain skeptical in general but a defined role with a clear path to minutes sure won’t hurt his development. 1500 minutes should be the goal imo, that’s roughly 18mpg over a 82 games season and twice the amount Hardy saw last year.
Irving
Green
Doncic
Williams
Lively
+ Hardy, Curry, Hardaway, OMax and Kleber/Powell
would be a fun rotation. Don’t care much for Holmes, I think he might just be done at this point.
You’d actually be on a good path to do both, compete and develop.
Also I REALLY hope some of the takes on OMax are correct and he can be a part of the rotation from day 1.
Having four rookie scale contract guys in our regular rotation would be HUGE going forward. If they manage to get that done while staying competitive that’s basically the holy grale of nba teambuilding when you already have two high salary guys like Luka and Kyrie around.
