starters will eventually be : Luka Irving Williams OMax Lively
2nd team Hardy Green Seth Holmes Kleber
3rd team Exum Powell THJ McGee ________
2 way Lawson Miles Wright
2 way we need to add a big and cut one of the PG's I personally would have tried to get Luka to recruit Nunez away from Europe and get him over here now. He may think he is not ready to come over yet but we could have Luka develop him as a coach. The big could have been that guy in LA that scored 21 points if we took undrafted players more seriously and started to look at center as an area of need that we should concentrate on improving. At this point someone is going to cut some talent and we only have a single roster spot but if a rookie big is cut you need to see about swapping him in there with our 3rd 2way. Why invest so much in point guard? Bingham may be worth developing in Frisco and likely that is where he plays anyway but as a 2 way he can get pulled up.
Holmes McGee and Powell are all guys that most of us do not want playing a lot of minutes. Kleber is a stretch 4 so try not use him to solve your problem at the 5 we will probably need him at the 4 more since Williams may have to play at the 3 some and that leaves O Max as the main PF if we have to use Kleber at the 5 instead of 4.
You have to add a real center so that we can move Holmes and or McGee and if we can snag a better PF to replace Kleber then I might then consider Kleber as a 3rd string 5 oh wait we just added a 3rd string 5 in Powell for 3 years LOL.
Seriously this team is tying itself up in knots. Centers need to be 7'0 or weight over 260#'s so they can bang with other bigs and no shorter than 6'10 if they are bulkier and the landscape has changed we are about to face a lot of teams with extra tall centers we should add guys that give us advantages in terms of size. Wemby, Chet and other over 7' players need to be defended by guys that are taller than 6'8 or 6'10. Allen is 6'9 so he is out.
Miami has a great development program for undrafted players and they let Omer Yurtseven go so he may be worth a 10 day to look at. He got some double doubles when he was pulled up from the G league. I would say he is a better option than Orlando Robinson and or Udoka Azabuike because he is a bigger body that we can use against certain matchups. Azabuike is playing on the Boston SL team so we know he is getting looked at closer.
I think he offers a lot of talent for a vet min to back up Lively with a real center sized player, if nothing else then that allows Holmes to play at the 4 more and enable us to trade other assets like Kleber who may fetch more back in trade than Holmes would simply because he has shown he can shoot the 3 in the play offs.
We might then be able to bundle THJ and or McGee with Kleber a lot easier to make that kind of trade more digestable and more effectively sold to other teams than trying to sell another unknown guy in Holmes. With that approach you might work a deal to clear cap for another center coming back.
Too bad we can't renegotiate a deal with McGee so that he gets paid all his money this year and then he becomes an expiring contract to sell to other teams.
