This was asked on X recently and got a lot of responses. So, asking here.

What would you say is the best lineup your team can put on the floor?

For me there’s a couple different answers, depending on the matchup and situation. Of course, the timing as well, with Kyrie out till February or so.

To start the year I think the best 5-man lineup is: DLO-Klay-Flagg-PJW-AD

When Kyrie comes back (February?) I expect the leap to have happened for Christie and think the best 5-man lineup will be: Kyrie-Max-Flagg-PJW-AD

I’m aware that Lively is missing here, I just think AD is a much better Big, therefore he didn’t make the “best lineup”. I do think he’s one of the top 5 most impactful players on the team though. He needs to stay healthy!!!!

The monster frontcourt and its versatility is our competitive advantage.  I can see there being a true center and 2 true forwards on the floor for 40mins/night.

IMO, you list the #2 lineup, #1 lineup being DLo, Flagg, PJ, AD, DLive.  Swap out DLo for Kyrie upon return.
