Be nice to get Shannon healthy and back by playoffs.

I don't see it.

The injury is a bummer, but he was terrible before that.

He has absolutely no right hand. Watching even bad teams super overplay his left to start this season tells us that his success against OKC last year was because he was totally unscouted.

So now you're left with a guy who looks the part, but is a bad defender, a streaky shooter and his main weapon, the drive, is easily taken away.

Not good for a guy who will soon turn 26.

Rotation of 8-9 then?

Starting five plus Ayo/Naz, Bones, Clark, and Beringer maybe in that order?

Personally Joan scores so many easy buckets he should be in the rotation and doesn't seem to hurt them when in.....but Finchy is Finchy.

I owe you an apology Matt....for overestimating how much you know about basketball.

JK.

Are you talking about Giannis?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Phillips get a shot. He brings size as a full sized small forward. Ayo, Bones, Clark (and probably Conley) are all guard sized.

I think Bones loses a lot of minutes to Ayo, and I don't see a role for Clark. I loved him last year, but his offense has regressed and its affected his defense. He's s till an absolute bulldog, but he's gotten very undisciplined.

Ideally we'll get to a rotaion of DDV/Ant/Jaden/Randle/Gobert/Naz/Ayo/Beringer/Phillips

No. I predicted Mike Conley was coming back. And he is.

Then it was a good call....he doesn't have much left so it is in a mentor role mostly.....he might end up as an Asst Coach next year I bet.

Matt guess how many Technical Fouls Conley has had in his career....

You and 3/4 of the internet when it looked like he might be waived after being traded again.

Hopefully he won't play at all.

I only read about that possibility on 4 different sites before Matt predicted it.

If it happens, I believe it will be the first ever instance of the "Andrew Bogut rule" being used.

He will end up hopefully playing 1-2 Mins a game more than the coach.....but it is Finch so who knows.
