Maybe Lance plays more at PF or PG alongside Svi. Let's see how it plays out. |

Wow. What a find. Sadly Lance will take his minutes this year. But looking forward to him in the future.
We have Hart/Kuz/Svi under contract for less than 5m combined in 2019 IIRC. |
Lance should not play over him if Svi is better. |
That may be true in theory but there are politics involved here. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

The "PF" is even more crowded with LBJ/Kuz/Beez.
At PG, assuming Lonzo is healthy, you have Lonzo/Rondo dividing the minutes. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

IMO we should be playing for the 2019 season where we are making a serious championship push with hopefully picking up another max player. So our younger players like Svi need to get as much experience as possible so that they are that much more ready to help us in 2019 and thats why I rather have players like Lance who wont even be here next season rack up DNPs over Svi _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

I think Svi racks up early PT in the Gleague where he dominates.
Come 12/15, maybe Lance isn't happy about his PT and is traded (remember when he signed with Charlotte he bounced pretty quickly). Then Svi gets a chance.
Or maybe Lance is around until the trade deadline (or on the playoff roster) and Svi essentially has to redshirt this year. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I think that's a possibility, or he gets traded or asked to be released. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Just curious, why can’t Lance play and have Svi still get PT? Lance is strong enough to get bulk of his minutes at PF.. I think fans are overexaggerating on the PT for our players. |

PG: Lonzo/Rondo split
SG: KCP/Hart split
SF: BI 33-34mpg.
PF: LBJ/Kuz/Beez split.
Lance's minutes will come from:
1. injuries at PG/SG/BI.
2. 10-12mpg at SF. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

lmao bro what?
Theres only a certain number of minutes allowed to around and we have like 11 guys expecting minutes before he is. The rookies are only getting major minutes if theres a injury or a blowout. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

I like Luke as a coach a lot, but his line ups tend to suck and he’s quite stubborn sometimes. He treated Josh Hart like Scott treated Clarkson that first season. Maybe worse. Luke gets no credit for Hart’s development in my book. He just lucked into him since everyone else was hurt. |

Luke's issues will be:
1. you have a bunch of 1 year deal vets in Rondo/Lance/Beez who won't just sit down and be content with minimal PT. Lance has averaged 24mpg in his career, he won't all of a sudden be happy with a sporadic 10-12mpg.
2. do you prioritize developing young players or just go with the safety blanket vets who will likely be gone next year?
3. LBJ. Best player in the world, but not exactly the easiest to coach. Most of the all time greats seem to be that way.
Just a few of the landmines he will have to navigate past. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Phil Jackson was basically the same, and that worked out pretty well. |

I don't think you understand, most of these guys are already sacrificing minutes before factoring in Svi. Someone has to straight up drop out the rotation for Svi to come in. Luke is a third year coach, he's trying to win now with Lebron, he's not about to take a vets minutes away for a rookie.
Lonzo/Rondo
KCP/Hart
BI/Lance
Lebron/Kuzma
McGee/Ivica
then you have Micheal Beasley who probably will get minutes at the forward and backup center. All you have left is third string minutes, the rookies aren't about to take a one year contract player out the rotation. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

That’s fine, even if Svi can’t play a lot this year due to PT difficulty he’s gonna be great for us in our next dynasty run. |

I sure hope so. I'm excited to see how Luke handle's the minutes this year because at the very least he has 10 guys that most likey assume they're here to get consistent minutes. Ivica Zubac would be the 11th if he got minutes. Alot of pressure on Luke _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

Come 12/15, maybe Lance isn't happy about his PT and is traded (remember when he signed with Charlotte he bounced pretty quickly). Then Svi gets a chance.
Or maybe Lance is around until the trade deadline (or on the playoff roster) and Svi essentially has to redshirt this year. |
Just curious, why can’t Lance play and have Svi still get PT? Lance is strong enough to get bulk of his minutes at PF.. I think fans are overexaggerating on the PT for our players. |
PG: Lonzo/Rondo split
SG: KCP/Hart split
SF: BI 33-34mpg.
PF: LBJ/Kuz/Beez split.
Lance's minutes will come from:
1. injuries at PG/SG/BI.
2. 10-12mpg at SF. |
I think Luke is smart enough to find PT for everyone. |
Maybe he'll ask the NBA to make games 75 minutes long. |
I like Luke as a coach a lot, but his line ups tend to suck and he’s quite stubborn sometimes. He treated Josh Hart like Scott treated Clarkson that first season. Maybe worse. Luke gets no credit for Hart’s development in my book. He just lucked into him since everyone else was hurt. |
Well, that's true. If we go revisit Those early games, Hart can't bought a basket. |
