I think of a lineup with Cooper Klay PJ AD and Lively or Gafford starting and when Kyrie comes back plus they get anotther PG and Kai Jones and maybe Nembhard is JJB reincarnate and Naji starts to hit 3 pointers as we started to see some last year there is a lot to be excited about this team and our 2 way contracts are there to develop with great potential in the future. If Coop can come in right away and function comfortably enough to lead the team and win with confidence as the PG there is nothing that will stop this team from returning to the finals this season.
Bench considerations are very interesting in that scenario. Say B Will and Max come in to rest the starters and whoever is the backup 5 plus Naji at SF and maybe you see Klay in place of Max when he drops to the 2nd team after Kyrie comes back but PJ as a starter at SF means you got Kai Jones as a PF behind AD and that makes this a strong deep team.
There are a lot of ways to configure lineups with a player who can play anywhere 1 through 4 sort of like when we had Luka.
