Who to pair with Lauri and Keyonte?

Keyonte, Castle, Lauri, Hendricks, Kessler.

If everyone reached their potential could be a nice lineup.
I like Castle. I think I’m like 50/50 on seeking and upgrade to Walker at this point. He just has struggled offensively so much more than I expected. I like the idea of getting Sarr if he is similar to Mobley. I also still like Sexton even if you start the two and split them up throughout the game.
 
The frustrating part of this exercise is you think “yeah that three or four guy grouping would be good”. Then you look at the group of teams currently in the play in in the west… Lakers Lebron and AD… GS with Steph… Dallas with Luka and Kyrie… Phoenix with KD, Booker, and Beal.

Some of those teams obviously fade but Memphis will be back next year. We could play it straight, improve, and still not be much more than the bottom of the play in. So much talent in the league.

I just want lineups and a rotation that makes sense.
 
Keyonte, Sexton, Lauri, Hendricks, Sarr
Get Castle too off the bench and maybe he replaces Sexton but either way matches up well with both guards. If this draft is for sale we have the picks to land a couple deals. Like how OKC traded up and landed Dieng ( but really there’s a backstory there and it allowed them to get Williams with their own pick).
 
I'm sold on Keyonte as our PG of the future. I think he could be Deron Williams good on offense. Lauri is obviously someone we need to keep long term.

What types of players do we need to surround them with, and how do we obtain them?

(Personally, I think Kessler is the other player we are building around, but I know not everyone agrees)
A #1 wing. Lauri isn’t a #1 and I sure as hell don’t want our pg being our #1
 
Who cares we won last night therefore we will never win a championship.
Look… if it’s title or nothing… we should likely tank this **** next year. Not that it’s the only way to build a title team. It might be the most reliable of bad unreliable options.
