    Gobert would actually fit well. We would need to make sure who ever plays the 4 has a consistent shot though. A guy like Gobert fits best in an offense where there are multiple go to scorers, since Gobert is basically nothing more than a rim finisher on O.

    I actually think Myles Turner fits what we need at Center. If Joker isn't in the cards in 2023, I'd probably go after Turner as plan B.

    Giannis, Durant? Even fully healthy he's the best 4. Plays best at the 5 anyway. Better than embiid? Jokic? AD is toast

    I look at Gianni’s and Durant as more than 4’s. They can play just about anywhere. I didn’t say he was better than them. But I guess I shoulda worded that better. But I agree he’s toast. Look at my post above. I said hell no to AD. Just calling him overrated is false. He’s forever injury prone. He’s not overrated. If you put a healthy AD on this team, we can win it all. Unfortunately a healthy AD isn’t a real thing. It’ll never happen.

    So Pacers want a lottery protected 1st for Turner. We have one of those. Who can we throw Vuc at to make that happen?

    Curious what Chris Boucher market is gonna look like. He'd be a nice versatile big off the bench.

    I hope we start Ayo in the playoffs. As much as I like Caruso, his miserable offense did us zero favors since returning. Let him come in and lead a bench unit. Let Ayo get valuable experience going toe to toe with Jrue.
    I also wouldn't mind seeing less Coby and more Green and DJJ. If Coby isn't scoring, their bench shooters will just torch us.

    I might not even play Coby game 1.i really don't understand Billy's disdain with DJJ either.

    I don't disagree at all.

    Ayo/Lavine/Derozan/Pat/Vuc
    Caruso/Green/DJJ/TT

    You just stagger lineups so you always have at least 1 of Lavine or Derozan in for scoring. At least that bench gives you a fighting chance defensively. As for the starters, it's trial by fire for Ayo and Pat. Throw them to the Wolves and see how they respond. That 5 gives us the best chance at winning. That bench gives us the best chance of not letting their role players torch us. I've watched quite a few Bucks games and their role players play a huge role for them. They hit 3's at will sometimes. I think our bench can out athlete guys like Grayson and Connaughton

    Really curious to see how Billy coaches. I'm not familiar with him outside of his stint here but I'm hoping he plays the matchups more then just having a set rotation of substituting like he has in the regular season. He'll get out coached badly if he doesn't adjust.

    Just when we finally get a legit PG, he misses half the season including the playoffs now. Our luck with injuries is so ****ing bad.
