2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[audiosway]

Yeah, I get it, trust me.

All that I am suggesting is that with the kind of changes I think are coming in the very near future, I don’t think anyone is safe. I think decisions are going to be made based on salary matching and not much else.

I don’t think they are trying to get rid of him or anything. I think not going after Dragic pretty much proves that they don’t view him as expendable like Moses.

If I'm in Nico's shoes the only person on that roster that's safe is Luka. Anyone and everyone else can be considered expendable on some level. I wouldn't give pieces away but I wouldn't hold anyone back. I would have the scouting crew and Kidd put a value grade on every player on the roster not named Luka. Then, I would have them look at player groupings around the league.

What I mean by groupings is to have certain groups of players that would fit around Luka and work well together chemistry wise. (Their best guess anyway). Just because a player is good doesn't mean he's a fit. Look at the Wizards. I would take a money ball style approach to it but with player groupings similar to the way NFL teams do it. Certain types of players fit well together in a grouping. Certain ones just don't. I would put intelligence and attitude first also. Luka needs high IQ guys playing around him that will know their role and stick to it. Nothing else would matter. Very similar to how the Bulls dynasty teams were built.
