2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[cow]

- Maxi played a bit less than 25 minutes last night. That should not be considered as heavy workload.

Heavy minutes by Maxi's standard is what I should have said.  I wish we could play him 30+ but his body just doesn't hold up.  He probably has a concussion after game 1.  

You'd probably give that Green/Bertans role more minutes if they could do anything that resembled being productive, but they aren't.  Imagine if Green was Bane or Bey.  Imagine if Bertans wasn't the folding chair that Yi Jianlian used to up his pre-draft stock.  

Our productive rotation in this series is going to be:  Luka, Brunson, DFS, Maxi, Dinwiddie, Bullock.
You are having to play the following to soak up minutes and hope they don't hurt you too badly:  Powell, Green, Bertans

For the Utah series, move Powell to the productive rotation.  You need more productive depth than 6-7 guys.  I guess you could argue for THJ.  

With the state of our assets and payroll, we need to get a lot better at attracting low cost/productive veterans (McGee, D12 prior to this year), fallen angels (Clarkson), undrafted talent (Miami Heat), and slow to blossom players (Payne).
