Agree. I think Payton and THJ would be the guards off the bench alongside Dinwiddie with Reddish and a big if Reddish is part of the incoming. If the big is Maxi, you still have two premium defenders in that unit between Maxi and Payton and plenty of offense between SD/THJ and Reddish.
That leaves Wood/DFS/Bullock and Luka as obvious starters with the fifth starter less obvious. I struggle to see Wood (as a 5) in the same starting lineup as THJ from a defensive standpoint. I'm still not convinced that we won't start a big next to the obvious four starters (at least during the regular season). That big could be any of Maxi, Powell or Noel if we assume Noel is also part of a Brunson deal.
