So what’s our current roster?

Paul, Payne
Booker, Shamet, Lee
Bridges, Johnson
Crowder, Craig
Saric, Biyombo

I’d guess Wainright is back, but the KD trade will probably take a big hit on our depth.
Wouldn’t surprise me Iffe is back too
I don't know. It might be a bit Iffe.

We know Booker is one of the most prickly guys on the court, but I'm pretty sure most of the league doesn't like Dennis Schroder. Seems like no one enjoys playing with him.

Being set aside by the LeLakers and then the team he was traded away from had a historic turn around to make the Finals are pretty big red flags.
And yet, he might the only legit option for point guard depth at this point.

I really like Markus Howard, but he isn't really a point guard. There is Ryan Arcidiacono, and the whole Villanova connection (if Bridges is still on the team), but I don't know if you can count on him for anything.

I like getting Jared Butler back in a Ayton-to-Utah sign and trade, but I don't know how ready he is.

All I know is that we can't role with just CP3 and Cam Payne.
I really like Dennis Schroder's game. I think he would be great for guard depth for us. If he doesn't fit personality-wise or is a locker room problem, I wouldn't want him.

Hopefully just cash. He had promise once upon a time, but that was several years ago. Stretch center.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Organizational depth. Think of him as the new Kaminsky.

He is Sarver’s best replacement for Deandre Ayton.

He's only had 1 year in the league...so had potential 'several years ago'? :shock:

Time flies. One year you have potential and next year potential has you. Sports are brutal like that.

Yeah, was at St. Mary's then bounced around when he went undrafted in 2018. I read about him around draft time, then saw footage of his play overseas. I don't think I ever watched him at St. Mary's.

Last year was his first shot in the NBA. My potential comment was referencing when he first started playing internationally after he left St. Mary's.

Uh-oh. Maybe by nationality.

Jock Landale is barely a NBA level player. He cannot even make a difference playing for my Partizan Belgrade in Adriatic League.

If Durant trade happens we can expect CP3, Book, KD and bunch of scrubs on the roster.

You have a problem if your C rotation is Saric, Biyombo and Landale. DA is going to be missed.

You’ll know more than me. His highlights looked similar. Even his jumper.
