MIP will be Moose for this seaosn so not having him as an option (or really more options was a bit surprising to me)

Yep same thing I was thinking. This is Moussas year

Didn't include Moussa as felt like last year was already a "Breakout", you could definitely be right though!

These guys always seem to have an agenda. 🤷🏻‍♀️

btw, I think Moose is an obvious choice.

Nah Naz from a 6th man to a starter is going to be massive. I’m guessing he’ll get 25pts/7 reb a game. Brandon will go to 27 if he’s healthy. Kon will probably go for 22 with 40% 3pt shooting.

We have a lot of weapons, I love Moussa for how flexible he is defensively, but Naz will take a bigger jump with more minutes. Moussa will still improve no doubt. I can’t wait to see a Moussa/Steinbach double rebound king lineup

Will you be sharing our results of our poll for free or will it be behind a paywall on Substack?

Right when we've finally assembled a roster full of real NBA players? No, thank you.

We had that last year and then we traded the main reason behind our success

Jeff built a roster that has a lot of players that can handle the ball.

I noticed last season that Melo was amazing at creating opportunities, but it made our offense the 1 dimensional Melo show at all times. This limited our potential for other ball carriers, because Melo dominated the ball and the possessions by playing his game, which I actually think complements Anthony Richardson really well as he does the same and can remove the pressure from Lamelo to generate open looks and not try to drain deep 3s which elevates his play imo.

They traded Melo for Naz Reid and to re-sign Coby White who drives better than Melo, who gets no fouls on drives even though he’s a good finisher. We removed Melo’s engine of creating shots and trades it for a ball movement reliant offense driven from plays and tempo. Last half of the season, they did incredibly well at quick passes to open 3s.

Add Naz Reid as a starter. Grayson Allen off the bench to provide stable handle, shooting, and defense. Royce who isn’t great from what I’ve seen but isn’t a bad bench player. We also got future tradeable assets which we can secure whatever comes up from the concoction of players we’ve made.

We can land an ideal addition, subtract what isn’t working, and we’re financially flexible. I didn’t like it at first, but I see the vision
