If you are going to run out that line-up you might as well play a 2-3 zone and get Boehiem to coach…

@11 – It’s just one combo but an interesting one.

But to answer your point, what SF could defend our SF?

I actually was thinking that KP would be our SF. He’s not inclined to rebound much anyway and can you imagine having to shoot over him?

I have to agree with Z-man on the false equivalency. To equate Mudiay and Kanter (22 & 26 YO) to Jack and Beas (both >30 YO now) is, at best, disingenuous. On top of that, neither of the younger duo are going to be earning veteran minimums any time soon.

I call ’em as I see ’em. Nearly all of my heavy-handed posting is targeted at a few obstinate posters, particularly when it comes to Frank. I try to post lots of light-hearted stuff as well. If my “style” doesn’t pass muster with humorless, judgmental chaps like yourself, whatever.

@13 mostly bored by your obsession with Frank and troll level heavy handed argumentative style.

From Wikipedia: “False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence doesn’t bear because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors.”

You said “winning with players who are unlikely to be here next year isn’t more palatable bc they’re under 26…So every win on the back of Enes Kanter and Emmanuel Mudiay feels as empty to me as the Jarrett Jack Michael Beasley wins last year. And ultimately all they’re doing is pushing us out of the top 5 with no reward besides increased morale. ”

I pointed out the “oversimplication and/or ignorance of additional factors.”

Clearly, I knew what the term meant when I used it. Your statement that I don’t only supports my contention that you do indeed have a narrative.

GoNY, it’s interesting you should mention that. I was just thinking about a KP, Vonleh and Robinson front court. The thing I worried about, and which relates to your proposed front court too, is who will guard the other team’s 3. I don’t think Kanter has a chance at this. Robinson is the quickest one of all of them, so maybe he can do it, but his strength is around the hoop, so most likely it would be Vonleh. And I don’t know if that would work well enough.

And you don’t know what false equivalence means.

Yeah we should trade Kanter. His good games don’t benefit us at all.
