So, let’s say KP @ PF is a rousing success in the playoffs...same with THJ as the starter. I think it changes the way we look at the roster. Suddenly C is not KP/DP/WCS. C is DP/WCS and PF is KP/Maxi. With last night’s rotation in mind, what is now the weakest link?
C: DP/WCS
PF: KP/Maxi
SF: DFS/JRich
SG: THJ/..............Green
PG: Luka/JB (JB also gets minutes at the 2)
If the playoffs are successful, it probably means DP and WCS played well. Could you get away with simply adding a fifth big (Theis?) who can play both positions. Or, do you try to spend money here to get someone more consistent than WCS (Holmes?) and push Powell to the backup?
If there is a SF/Defender position, is JRich right for it? If little offense is expected from this position, can Green do it almost as well for a fraction of the cost? Or, might you go for a more expensive 3&D SF moving DFS to the bench? Or, a starting level Guard and move THJ back to sixth man?
Just wanted to point out that a lot of our scenarios (the ones where KP is part of the team) are predicated on KP being the starting C. It may not happen that way.
Edit: One more thing...If THJ is a keeper, we might as well work over the cap and try to use the MLE and/or a trade or S&T of opted-in or UFA JRich...assuming he’s the odd man out.
