We need heady players that play effectively in short minutes, and for now longer stretches. Our stars are great, Ja Jaren and Bane are a pretty fantastic big 3 and Smart as a 4th guy is pretty good. As far as top end talent this is probably about as good as it will ever get for the smallest market in the NBA. I’ve been a fan since they moved to Memphis and this is easily the highest ceiling we’ve ever had.

We need to make sure our role players and glue guys are real players though. We just can’t have guys like Roddy and more actually playing minutes for us.

When Ja comes back, a bench featuring Mike and Kyle (probably playing at least 25 minutes a game still) and X plus Santi playing more of a PF and small 5 role (with either Bane, Smart or Jaren playing with the second unit) would look great.

Obviously who knows if Minnesota does this but I think getting a PG and another Wing is obviously a priority. I’d say Center is still a need but Biyombo could have solved our glaring issue, and maybe BC is back at some point. Maybe we trade BC and even Stevo for a bigger swing somewhere like OG but anyways, no game today lets talk.
