True... maybe we are the best "showcase" opportunity. I think the Lakers may end up needing to replace one of Dwight/JaVale by year end. Not sure either guy is one you want to rely on in the playoffs and TT has done that.

Would we be interested in Lakers Dwight Howard refuse? I'd have a hard time believing they would look to jettison him. Wasn't he supposed to be having a good year?

I'm advocating for less than 36 minutes. That's the ceiling (<).

you're correct. I misread what you wrote. Lol

I was curious how many stars play the type of mins Jingles, Mitchell, and Gobert have been playing. The list is incredibly small. Even the top players aren’t playing 35+ mins. Bigs especially. We desperately need to find a backup for Gobert.

He's good but has had injury issues and is prone to going Dwight... so you never know...

I'm not interested in Dwight, but if he was released (I don't think he would be) and it was him or Ed/Bradley... then sign me up for some Dwight Howard I guess.

Why would the Lakers dump Dwight? Isn’t he one of their best bench players?

They might not dump him... but he could be hurt when TT is available... McGee might get dumped and he's traditionally missed a handful of games per year too...

I think there is a small chance they have an opening is all I'm saying. Dwight has been good and if healthy they would keep him... just saying he's not a guy you rely on 100%.

I think Dwight the player would be awesome as a backup. He’d set strong screens, rebound, and be a big threat for lobs. Dwight the player would be a perfect fit. Favors might be the only better fit in the entire league.

I can’t think of a worse place for Dwight the person to be at. He and Jimmy Butler might be the most cancerous people in the entire league. Hmmm.
 
Not sure why they would stop using the rotation (in regards to Mitchell only) they have now with Mitchell getting 3 different stints, the first being an early sub out.

This is probably close to what I do... I think Ingles logs more minutes than the 24ish. I think Niang or Mudiay may drop out of the rotation or one of them gets like less than 8 minutes a night.

Backup center will be the issue to solve. I would keep my eye on Marvin Williams... He plays PF and C these days in a stretch mold and would be awesome if he got bought out. Charlotte might be in the playoff jog in the EC and they also may find a team that can match salary and give them a couple seconds so may not happen.

There may be a backup center we can get either in buyout or trade. If Detroit thinks Christian Wood will bail after this season that'd be a guy I'd love to make a move for. To have a backup center issue really sucks seeing as we have allocated a first round pick and our only cap exception this year to having a solid option... I think Morgan should get some run there soon. He might not be ready, but how much worse could he honestly be.

Marvin Williams can not play backup C for the Jazz.
 
The Cavs arent buying out TT. If this isnt some well sourced rumor it's some complete BS.

No reason they wouldnt want to keep him long-term since they have no center to develop. So you have to give them something of value.

And the Cavs owner would never buy out TT if he thought TT joining Lebron was in the cards. He's the king of petty.
 
I'm not going to draw out the complete rotation minute by minutee cuz that's kind of overkill, but I think Mitchell is still first out.

Royce comes in for Mitch. Then shortly after Ingles leaves for Clarkson. Then Mitchell and Niang come in for Bojan/Conley. Gobert leaves around the same time for whoever. Mudiay subs in for a handful of minutes to relieve Mitchell of his 2nd stint. Then the starters eventually work their way back in depending on how well the bench is performing/matchups.

Playoff rotation basically just cuts out Mudiay and monitors Niang's minutes more closely.
