AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

In a similar vein, I like comparing this roster to what we had after the KP trade when we made the WCF run.

Luka        => Luka
Brunson   => Kyrie
Dorian     => Williams
Din         => THJ/Hardy/Curry
Bullock    => Green
Maxi       => Maxi
Powell     => Powell
Green     => Exum

The biggest issue with that team was the massive lack of depth in the front court, where this team has Holmes/Lively/Omax/DJJ.

I think this is STELLAR thinking, here. 

And, as you say, there are interesting names not even in your initial list that might just merit jumping over some of the names on it. How long will it take Kidd to sort through all of this and find the right rotation? Can he do it in such a way where they don't lose too many games through experimentation, but without avoiding the experimentation altogether? 

If he does his job and we're patient, this is a team that SHOULD improve all season.
