In 33 minutes, the 5-man lineup of Ricky Rubio, Devin Booker, Kelly Oubre, Mikal Bridges, and Deandre Ayton is outscoring opponents by 39.1 points per 100 possessions (130.3 OffRtg, 91.1 DefRtg).
Very promising sign that Oubre and Bridges can function well within that unit.

Is Horford available? He’s on the other side of 30 and makes a lot of bank but I’d definitely swap TyJo for him if Philly is looking to get off his contract. I know he recently made some comments about being unhappy with the way he’s being used in their system. He’d be an interesting pickup. Not sure I’d want to swap Rubio and Burke though. I think Rubio’s problem is he’s worn out. We should be resting him more.

I'd like to see him less than 30 minutes a night. Probably closer to 25, though. Elie has been pretty good of late, whether he is running point or playing off the ball with Book running point.
INF hates my beloved Rubae so much. I'm trying to work through it so he and I can still be friends. But it's tough.
Well, he is a net negative overall, but you can say that about everyone on the team except for Booker, Mikal, Kelly, and Baynes. They are the only players that have a TPA above zero.

I don't hate him, Mori. He is just a poor allocation of resources. It doesn't make any sense to invest $16 million a year in a point guard that can't shoot and at best is mediocre defensively.

Idk if anyone has mentioned this ever, but if they just took Luka, completed the trade for SGA and taken Mitch Rob, We wouldn't have had to deal with this.

Agree to disagree. I think it's fine and lovely to pay that amount for one of the best passing PGs in the NBA. And I think his defense is actually pretty decent. In terms of his salary and the cap, we would still have plenty of space if we want to sign anybody this off-season or make a trade.

He hasn't been good on defense this season. He is 9th on the team by DPS for guys that have at least played 200 minutes this season.
