This just falls in the "least likely to happen" category so I don't give it much oxygen.
According to one article I read just today, it appears that the Flagg camp is on board and communicating that Cooper would be happy playing the SF spot. There was no real discussion about PJ in the article, and the gist was mostly centered around AD's continued interest in the playing the PF position. If all that is true... the starting lineup would appear to be Lively, AD, Flagg, Klay... and someone unnamed. I suspect this is the most likely front line on opening day.
The rotation after that is where things get messy. I think PJ rotating in for AD makes the most sense while someone like Max rotates in for CF.
I'm going with Chris Paul as my choice for PG.
I found this in the ESPN article on CF:
..."Chris Paul approached Maine United's coaches and told them how much he was loving the team's run. He'd been watching their games on his phone, he said. "I love the way you all play," Paul told them. He said he was teaching his son, Chris Jr., then a middle school player, to model how he played after them. He asked if he could meet Flagg and Ace, and, of course, they obliged."
