That lineup is pure sex
I would hope Oden would eventually start. Not starter minutes, but like Schwann said, someone to play the Lopez roll.Originally Posted by SnowofSX2
Jrue dat
I hope so too! Really hope he signs with us

You can say that again.
I really don't want him to start because we need somebody that can drive and finish or dish to Ryno in the second unit. Rivers would be another good option to drive and dish with Ryno but I don't feel comfortable with him yet to put it all on him. As far as Oden, I would like to bring him along slowly and only play him 15 minutes a game or maybe even 20 if all goes well. But I like Holiday, Gordon, Aminu, Davis, and Smith starting with Evans, Rivers, Ryno, and Oden coming off the bench. To me that seems assuming everybody stays healthy is a top 5 team in the Western Conference.
Top 5? I think you had a typo. You mean #1!

Why? If Jrue Holiday brings the ball up, what is Evans doing that Gordon isn't doing? Does Evans have to shoot 3s more cuz he's a SF?
Coach said he wants to bring him in as a super sub like Manu. Plus we need bench depth
What is the % that oden signs with pelicans or are we just daydreaming ?
This team aint wining nothing with this coach, we can make all the excuses we want. Unfortunately excuses don't win games.
I think it's higher than people think because Oden and Monty already have a relationship. He also doesn't want to be in the lime light at all. Another thing is he wants a team to be patient with him and we've already shown to be patient with a player (Gordon). I think it's possible
33% us, 33% Heat, and 33% SA.
Technically 33% but I say more like 50
Has he met up with us yet? Has he met up with any other teams? I think I heard he met with the Mavs and Kings already? Wonder when he'll announce where he wants to go

Let's say he plays Evans with Rivers, Aminu, Ryno, and Withey.
Does it really matter if Rivers brings the ball up most of the time if Aminu gets called the SF or not?
Honestly I'm not too worried of who will start or be on the bench. I just want the final line up in the final minutes to be Jrue, Eric, Tyreke, Ryan, and Anthony
That's pretty much what I was gonna post.
Evans style of play benifits him to come off the bench. He can save his gas for the end of the game and lead the second unit as a do-it-all 6th man. When the end of the game comes and we need a bucket, then put him and Ryno on the floor with Holiday, Gordon, and Davis.
I am assuming we are thinking Aminu starting only because of his defensive abilities, right?
Really hope this happens. Even if it's only for a few games I wanna see Oden and Davis hit the floor together, ha
I think Aminu's fine as a starter. Such a good rebounder and a strong defender ... his lack of offensive game is a pretty big weakness, but this season he'll have the complimentary guys in Evans and Morrow that can play SF and give us what he can't when it suits us.
Last season Monty said he liked playing Aminu with Gordon, and I can understand why. Gordon is a high-usage guy that takes the pressure off Aminu to need to score, while Aminu's such a good rebounder that it plays well with Gordon, who's biggest on-court weakness is rebounding.
1% bobcats?
There ya go lol
I think we have enough scoring with the 1st unit even with Aminu's lack of an offensive game he can get the transition buckets. We'll really need his defense and rebounding with the 1st unit.
I really want to see who Monty sends out there with the 2nd unit at the 3, or I should say the "other wing players along with Reke" since we don't really have "positions". I'm thinking Austin will run the point with Reke on one wing. Ryno at the 4 and either Steimsma or Withey at the 5. Candidates are Morrow and Miller.
If we sign Oden (and he's healthy) we can plug him into the 2nd unit. How much P/R will Oden be able to do? So many ??'s.
Like the idea of splitting ball handling duties with Austin and Tyreke for the second unit. Both can create, but both need to learn how to score without the ball in their hands.
I actually really like Aminu with this bunch. Guys like AFA are exactly the guys you want and need to uncover if you have a collection of scorers. He pretty much does all of his damage without taking shots away from the other guys.
One of Monty's first challenges is going to be to figure out the optimal rotation for some of these guys. Evans, Aminu and Rivers are all wings who - to this point - don't have reliable jumpers, and playing 2 or more of them together could lead to some ugly ball. Seeing as we might be looking at Rivers/Evans on the "early second quarter" team together, it'll be interesting to see if we go with that or if we juggle a little bit.

I think one of the main reasons Reke will come off the bench is so he can be the lead guard. He's said he see's himself as a point. Aminu starts to help the rebounding and defense in the starting lineup.
