We're hoping that Ernie Acuna can come off the bench and lead that second unit. He's a proven three point thread who can defend and distribute the ball. We'll have to see who else steps up, but if Acuna can run the offense, Jason Waters, Domingo McKoy, Richard Erickson, and Thomas Minter are all capable of providing scoring, and Erik Haynes still brings size, tough defense, and rebounding ability to that center position. We'll spend some time figuring out who fits best with that second squad and who wants to put in the effort. Down the stretch, there aren't going to be enough minutes to go around, and all of those guys are veterans who know the deal.Keepit100 wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2020 8:30 am Last season, Norrin Radd chipped in with some quality play off the bench. With his departure who do you see providing that same kind of spark on this year's team?
I'm not worried. We'll earn a lot of points over the next two seasons, and we can make appropriate moves to cut down on our tax bills.Bowtothebill23 wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2020 9:48 am Even though it didn't turn out as you hoped, congrats on the best record in the league last season. You've built your own little super-team this year, and you've done so while maintaining a couple of young guys on your roster. But, as you mentioned with how expensive this team is, you're staring at a tax bill well over 100 points this year. And, as it stands now, you're looking at another tax bill next year, even if you traded one of your $50MM players with nothing in return. Are you worried at all about not having the points to exercise Cristiano Felicio's RFA rights? Or are you under the assumption that you will be doing absolutely whatever it takes to get to the point next year where you can pay your tax bill?
We're moving RJ back to the 3. While RJ is excellent at the 4 spot, we feel he'll also be excellent at the 3 spot. Grayson's a better defender and he has a few extra inches on Barrett. On the offensive end, Grayson is the better inside scorer. We'll be giving up some blocks and some offensive rebounding, but we think that RJ's perimeter defense and his three point shooting should both get more focus.Xist2Inspire wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2020 10:09 am With Grayson and RJ, you now have two former wings that found their greatest success at the 4. How are you planning to utilize them now that they'll be sharing the floor?
Probably Grayson Allen. Felicio is still not on that level. I'm glad he's improving, but he won't really be a dominant force on his rookie contract.MexicanMamba wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2020 12:03 pm Acquiring Grayson Allen or Felicio's continued growth: Which off-season happening has you more excited about the coming season and your chance at fulfilling the promise your squad has?

We'll be weak against teams that only ever resign their own players, never really trade because they don't know which GMs are on which teams, and that we dominated in the regular season.TheSyndicate wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2020 1:16 pm Obviously, you're going to be favored in (just about?) every game your team suits up for this season. Is there a certain style or build you think your squad is potentially vulnerable to and/or stronger against?
I definitely will be experimenting throughout the season, not only with my key players, but with my bench formation and gameplan as well.false9 wrote: Sun Jul 12, 2020 12:30 pm With a plethora of offensive talents, who do you plan on keying up for Sim 1? Will you be experimenting throughout the season?
