Somebody hasn't been paying attention.Wait, Lonnie is a free agent this offseason? I'm a little lost.
Too early to get into depth chart/roster. Free agency hasn't started yet.

What is going on with Ayton, it's something that Monte benched him. If he can't deal with Monte he certainly will have problems with Pop
At this writing, I'd say it's . . .
Starters: Johnson, McDermott, Poeltl, Vassell, Murray
Bench: Primo, Sochan, Collins, Jones, Richardson
Deep bench/G-League: Bates-Diop, Landale, Langford, Branham, Wesley, Wieskamp
Richardson could get traded, Langford will probably be waived if not included in a trade, while Bates-Diop, Landale and especially Wieskamp's roster spots are all up in the air as either salary ballast or roster space as needed.
Lonnie is off the books so you don't really have a contract to use to get a return for him at the moment. Maybe SA resigns him but with the 2 new SGs it's looking unlikely imo.
^ Forgot Barlow.
stuff is more complicated than that... its been discussed all over here so I am not up for more of it... but its not something that disqualifies him for me.
I would prefer to swap J.Rich with McD. This would allow our starting lineup to be better all around.
Depending on who is shooting their 3’s better, I could see that.
Plus it could help Richardsons trade value.
Murray/Primo/Jones
Vassell/Wesley
Johnson/Branham/Langford
McDermott/KBD
Sochan/Poeltl/Collins/Landale
Forgot J-Rich :
Murray/Primo/Jones
Vassell/J-Rich/Wesley
Johnson/Branham/Langford
McDermott/KBD
Sochan/Poeltl/Collins/Landale
In a dream off season we trade Keldon/Collins for Miles Turner, then snub Miles Bridges in free agency and we became!
Murray/Primo/Jones
Vassell/J-Rich/Wesley
Bridges/Branham/Langford
Sochan/McDermott/KBD
Turner/Poeltl/Landale
Then in a wishful thinking we are going after Ayton in a S&T for Poeltl/J-Rich/McDermott and a future first, and we become:
Murray/Primo/Jones
Vassell/Wesley/Langford
Bridges/Branham/Wieskamp
Turner/Sochan/KBD
Ayton/Landale
Ayton's problem is that in the Suns system they just want a big who sets screens and rim runs and obviously that is a terrible use of a player who was the number one pick. He also has the problem of the offense being centered around paul and booker. Booker is just a so so ballhandler and initiator, and for all the greatness of Paul, he has only ever been able to play with a rim running lob big, and Ayton is so much more than that offensively. Remember how the better blake got and the more he was able to do on the floor the more friction it caused between him and chris until chris finally just left?
I like Monty but I also thought it was bush league of how he threw Ayton under the bus when they lost to the mavs. I don't remember him saying anything negative about Chris who finds some way to get hurt every ing year when it matters most. I don't remember him saying anything about Booker who was letting every guard run around him while also getting stonewalled by DFS every time he got the ball. I don't remember him talking about Cam and Bridges shooting brick after brick on open 3's. But all of a sudden it's Ayton fault and he is the one getting benched and taking the brunt of your older veteran players not showing up and Monty himself getting hilariously outcoached by Jason Kidd. Monty did the same thing to Ayton that Pop did to Kyle Anderson and to a degree, Lonnie.
I also find it weird how its a problem for them to pay Ayton. It wasn't a problem to pay the always injured choke gawd Chris Paul, who surprised got hurt when it mattered the most again. It wasn't a problem to play Booker who was nothing more than an offensive side show on a terrible team. Remember that brief moment in time of point booker when the suns were saying they would play him like James Harden? That went so bad they had to go get a HOF point guard to try and fix it. No problem paying Bridges to make open 3's and play great defense but do nothing else? Don't know if I have seen Bridges dribble 100 times in 2 years. But when it's time to pay the guy who has sacrificed and played his role the way you wanted, it's a problem? I also find it weird that the first thing Monty did when he got to phoenix was tell Ayton he was the one who had to fit in and be a team player and its not all about him...when he is the number 1 pick and it probably should be all about him?
Ayton to my Spurs
May it be!

We are set for the future gentlemen................!!!!!
