Wilbur 48 Report post Posted June 27, 2022 JI being back healthy is absolutely the best thing that could happen to Paolo. Everyday in practice he is going against one of the best defenders in the NBA. That will make him that much more effective on offense and should jump start the effort on defense. No one wants to be shown up in practice. I don't see a log jam. Carter, JI, Okeke and Paolo are a pretty solid 4 man rotation assuming you can pencil JI in as part of it. A decision needs to be made on Bamba, but Bol and Wagner make pretty good 5 men for cheap. Since JI and Okeke can also give minutes at the 3, keeping Bamba doesn't really screw up the four man rotation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hootie249 293 Report post Posted June 27, 2022 The more i think about our options the best thing we could do is offer above average one year deals to both Gary Harris and Bamba and send Ross packing. I think keeping the cap open for one more year is best. If we did that, then the trade deadline and next year is wide open. We would open up that free agent money and also next year is the non guarantee years for both Fultz and Isaac. Could be huge money to throw at someone or non guaranteed contracts to mix with our multiple number 1 picks for a star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
