I like this... however, I'd love to see Dame's & CJ's minutes a bit lower (closer to 32). We also need another real PG. Not sure who that is though.

I also think Mario is going to take all of Labissiere's minutes... I'd love to see what Skal can do, but I'm not sure he's going to get the chance.

When Nurk comes back, he'll take Gasol's minutes and help reduce Whiteside/Collins minutes too.

If we want a top 4 seed we have to play Dame and CJ more than that against Western Conference teams. Our path to the WCF last eyar came down to the last night of the season.

If you want to manage their loads, rest or lower their minutes against awful teams.

And Skal has shown more during his NBA career than Hezonja ever has, and he was in Sacremento. He's also a more natural fit for the PF or C position. He also has more long-term retainability than Hezonja. I really hope Skal takes the backup PF role and runs away with it.
 
Skal, Hazonja, Little and Trent will not play. And I honestly don’t see Simons thriving this season as much as some in here. This is a grown mans hame and he is still so young and raw. I believe the addition of Pau is huge. And Hood needs to have a career season.

So, we have some guy who is a cross between Mario Hezonja and Ha Seung-jin? :)
 
I don’t think Gasol will play more than 10 mins per game.

You think Jeremy Lin would be a good addition?

Dude you can’t play 39 year old Gasol more than that unless you want him to get injured.

You can give him 5 to 7 a half. That's what you get right? 2-3 at the end of the first and third quarters plus 3-4 at the beginning of the second and fourth quarters? somewhere between 10 to 14 mins a game unless there is something that makes it be more like foul trouble or just a great matchup that is working? Or isn't working whatever the case may be? If they push Gasol more than that they will wear him out. It's a long season. Personally i would rather see him make it healthy and into the playoffs.

Swap in Anthony for Skal and you're correct.

Like it or not Tolliver will take a chunk of Aminus minutes.

I know you're not a fan....but I'm guessing Mario gets some minutes in there somewhere. I don't see 6'5", 201 lb Bazemore playing '4' on many nights even with his wingsan. I'm also guessing there are a few nights Collins comes nowhere near his '31' minutes due to foul trouble. Would love it if that weren't the case but it would be a significant departure to how Collins has played both in college and in the Pros.

7' center Robert Parish played in the NBA for 21 seasons, retired at age 43, playing 9-17 mpg finally 3 seasons. At age 39 he played 27 mpg.

Yes but Gasol is coming off recent injuries including a foot stress fracture I believe. I’ll need to research exactly what his recent injuries have been.
 
He had plantar fasciitis in 2013 and missed time. Lately he had ankle trouble and a stress fracture with a broken navicular bone. He had surgery in March for that.

Well when I get NBA 2K20 I'm hoping Simmons will be averaging around 17 10 and 4 in around 25mpg.

He shouldnt. Above average 3pt shooter who isnt good at anything else. No thanks.

Then give Skal and Gasol two more minutes each. You focused on 4 minutes out of 240 minutes that need to be allocated.

On the nights that Skal gets foul trouble, then maybe you give Mario or Tolliver a chance. Or you give Skal more minutes.

He's an above average 3pt shooter at high volume that teams are afraid to leave open.

And a smart player who has helped teams win when played along the right personnel.

I'm all for giving Skal a chance, but Tolliver feels like a guy that'll thrive in Dame+Whiteside lineups. Double drags in transition as that pop man...he'd also be great as the flare screener in our thumb series.

Think he brings a skill set that no one else on the team really replicates at the PF position.

As I said, above average 3pt shooter, not good at amything else. I think Skal has the potential to be an above average shooter as well, and wiuld be better in other areas of the game. Tolliver isnt a good player, and shouldnt be in the rotation of a contending team. Skal at least has a chance to be good enough to help out a contending team.

Put Tolliver in Labissere's position and put Skal where Gasol is and sit Pau's 39 year old, broken ass on the bench.

With Meyer's and Jake gone we need new towel waver's.
 
It’ll just come down to whether he’s healthy or not. Last year it looks like he was struggling with his foot from November until he finally got it operated on in May. That’s pretty much the whole season. If he’s healthy, a pretty big if at 39, I’m confident he’ll play a significant role.
 
Once again, people are trying to dictate minutes based on their perception and not what Stott's will do. I see him doing similar what he did last year and early in the season run lots of rotations and give many players opportunities before he settles on a rotation.

Sir, you are fooling yourself to think Skal can help this team win more than Gasol.

I guess if 'focused' is 25% of the post. There is the much bigger part about Collins and his foul trouble regarding possibly Mario getting minutes.

Yeah, Zach going from 18 minutes a night to 30+ is quite the stretch. A cap of 25 seems more realistic.
