I think DJ, White, Vas, KJ, and Poetl could be a great closing unit if we have some cushion... As a defensive unit it just has crazy potential.

Hmm. I like what McDerms offers on the other end more as a closing unit. He makes smart moves that opens up spacing for White/DJ/Poeltl/Vas lineup.

KJ I don't have enough confidence yet closing out games just yet.

9-man rotation is in place -
PG-Murray, SG-White, SF-Johnson, PF-McDermott, and C-Poetle starting;
Forbes, Walker, Vassell, and Eubanks as the next four.

Leaving Young, The Buckeye, or Landale rotating for #10 minutes game to game

Did someone tweet something out?

He didn't play the scrimmage due to injury.

[HankChinaski]

When does the last cut have to be made prior to the start of the season?

I believe a day before the regular season begins

Doubled checked till day before, and NBA season kicks off on the 19th. So by the 18th.

Depends on the weed.

good way to end the preseason

I'm not expecting this team to be a 0.500 this season, but it'll be a fun team to follow, see which young player can take the next step or if Primo can be a big surprise and get into the rotation

Devin stood out tonight. Kid is scrappy as and has a knack for the ball. I love his ceiling tbh.

[widowmaker]

Is today opposite day? Did I miss the memo?

I don’t get it.

Jokes. Never found that strain that makes me smarter. I want some.

I'm not used to low expectations at the start of the year just yet. But sub .500 is pretty much a given.

Still, the last couple of years has not been fun to watch with ISO ball and poor defense being tolerated by the coaching staff.

I just hope the young guys get better. Perhaps three or four of them can be key pieces to whatever the roster is in 2-3 years when true contention is possible.

Yeah, I guess not literally smarter, but some can help you focus.
If you're a sipper.

He doesn't have a go to move... teams know his game now and if he doesn't hit his j's then you give him space and he can't do anything... he needs to play garbage man duties when he's getting cancelled out. Like scrapping for loose balls, cleaning up around the rim, and hustling in general. That's why if he's gonna play like this Devin can literally do everything he does and probably better...

For me I believe he needs to start learning post moves.

I like Johnson. But I would package him to get simmons 9ver vassel.

I've been thinking the same thing... if a package around KJ would have more value to Philly then I'd do it... I probabily wouldn't give what Philly would want though....my kj package would be something like KJ, Aminu, Thad, and either Poeltl or Eubanks and the CHI pick for BS..

I just don't see how the spurs have the distractions the bucks had to pull focus away from Bryn which he needs open looks and a minimal role to be a plus.

Then you think, if white or any guard has injury issues it brings Bryn even more to the surface of exposure.

If the spurs can use him in a limited role as spot scoring and if Bryn can keep developing or at least refining then it might work

Even the Bucks benched Forms in order to win a ring...
