What do you hope they may be?
Just because it is January 1 doesn't mean that your allotment of threads that you can start has commenced.
Fire Corbin, hire JVG, trade Jefferson for draft picks and expirings, trade Millsap for draft picks and expirings, trade Marvin for draft picks and expirings, trade Foye for draft picks and expirings.
Once Mo comes back, we'd still be no worse there with Mo, Tinsley, and Watson. We'd still have Hayward starting at the 2 and will have opened up major time for Burks there. We could start Carroll at the 3 and Hayward can be his backup. These three can play 36 a night or maybe around 30-32 with the leftover minutes going to one of the expirings acquired. Kanter and Favors can start. Expirings acquired via trades can play backup big minutes behind them.
Stockpile a ton of picks in this year's draft and next, and make a splash.
For some reason I don't think Carrol plays well when he starts... It almost like he gets pissed off being on the bench and just goes crazy when he gets on the floor...
So keep Carrol on the bench..
No one at the SF plays well when they start.
Why?
Because Big Al takes up all the shots.
Yeah, that's why Carroll starts bad. Because Al takes up all his shots...
Carroll isn't a starter, is why. He's a high-energy bench guy, good rebounder, and pseudo-defender.
But he's certainly better than Marvin Williams.
Jazz New Year Resolutions
What they probably are:
1- Make the Playoffs
2- Use the 17th and 23rd picks to draft another undeveloped pf/c and a sg.
3- Sign Al and Milsap, and Foye and 3 more veteran 'leaders'
