This is a silly thing to worry about but I can't seem to let it go. Also I can't shake that we I doubt we are moving our young guys yet. Maybe at the tradeline.
Excluding Hayward, Favors, Gobert, Exum, Burke, Burks and Hood, who do you want on the team next year?
Booker seems to be a no brainer. We have options because his contract is unguaranteed.
With Booker, a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick that is 10 spots filled. (I predict the other 2nd round pick will be another international guy who isn't coming over.)
So we realistically have 4 spots open (you always leave one open until after the trade deadline.) We need 2 bigs, a 3rd pg and a wing.
Options at big
Evans is better than the D league guys we have been running out there; but he is an will always be a defensive liability. If we have Gobert,Favors, stretch 4 and Booker that 5th big spot needs to be a center and Jeremy is not a center.
Jerrett seems to have the best chance as his contract is guaranteed; but it is telling his has played at all when we have needed big men minutes with Favors out. Considering he hasn't really improved, I expect he would be waived if we needed his roster spot.
Cooley seems like a stopgap sort of nba player. The kind you sign after a bunch of injuries.
Tomic- I still don't think is is ever coming over
Pleiss-I doubt he would be ready to play minutes
I expect us to draft someone who can play some PF or Center with our 1st round pick.
Wings
Ingles seems to provide something the team needs--veteran leadership/toughness. I would be really surprised if we don't bring him back.
Millsap-- I am on the fence about. He is so bad offensively some times. Now maybe it wouldn't be a problem if Exum could control the game more and get him in a position to succeed more. If he could shoot the 3 a little better I would feel a lot better about this. But I seem him making the team.
Basically I think the front office is going to make Jerret sit in the 15th roster spot and be ready to waive him if needed.
Johnson looks good when his 3's go. The rest of the time, his game looks incomplete. Don't need him.
I am okay with Cotton as a 3rd point guard but he is stretching to make it there. But I would rather have Neto.
