Let's see...
Luka, KP, THJ, RB, JB, Maxi, Powell, DFS, SB, and Bobi won't be cut.
That leaves a large pool of bubble players. 10 of them, to be precise. EO, TB, WCS, JG, TT, FN, MB, FH, CJ, and McLaughlin. Three gotta go, two will be 2-ways.
Ranking their basketball and developmental value in my opinion, in ascending order: McLaughlin (hasn't shown me anything), TT (hasn't shown me anything, isn't reliable), TB (let's move on already), FH, CJ, JG, FN, MB, WCS, EO. I stand by that ranking. I think they should get out from the McLaughlin 2-way if they can, cut Terry and Burke, make Hunt and Jones their two-ways, convert Omuruyi to a full-fledged roster player, give Green a bit more time before cutting bait, and certainly retain Frankie and Moses. WCS is WCS, but he looks to be quite useful in Kidd's system. Bet you all anything Eugene cracks the 10-man by the end of the year, and handily.
What will probably happen - McLaughlin and EO remain the two-ways, we attempt to retain Hunt and Jones with the Legends, and either Moses or Frankie gets cut. If it's Terry instead, great. If it's Burke instead, even better. But Burke and Terry both need to go to make way for Eugene, and that probably isn't happening. I think Eugene, Moses, and Frankie would be far more useful in our system than either Burke or Terry.
