Re: Roster
We'll sign Gortat and one more guy for sure. Kruger and Steven Smith have earned camp invites, and we might go after Darius Rice too. I can see us leaving a roster spot open to pick someone up later in the season.
Other than that, I think Otis is going to stick with this roster until at least the trade deadline. Right now it seems like he wants to start this lineup:
Nelson
Redick
Lewis
Battie
Howard
Starting Nelson and Redick together really scares me. If I was running things I'd split the minutes like this:
PG- Nelson 30, Dooling 20
SG- Ariza 30, Redick 20
SF- Lewis 18, Turkoglu 30
PF- Battie 10, Lewis 18, Gortat 12, Augustine 8
C- Howard 38, Battie 10
Scrub minutes: Arroyo, Bogans, Garrity, and others
We'd start with a more defensive minded team to help keep Dwight out of foul trouble. I'd pair Nelson with Ariza and Dooling with Redick to make up for defensive deficiencies. With this lineup we can go small and we can put a lot of shooters out there.
Guys would have to step up and fill roles, but I think with good coaching this team could make noise in the East.
