That's one handsome front court.
Yeah but the backcourt of IT, JR and Lebron offsets that, unless Cedi can squeeze right in instead of LBJ.

IT (some people go for the baby face)... unless you wanna add Calderon here? :shrugs:
Cedi
Korver
Love
Thompson
Might be the best looking lineup. My wife's best friend got a mad crush on Shumpert though so take that for what it's worth.
I think that if teams are going to put their 5's on Crowder, I feel like a player such as Korver at the 4 is just going to destroy this defensive scheme in seconds. No big can stay with Korver on the perimeter and it's not like Crowder is rebounding that well right now. Sure, he provides better resistance against bigs in the post, but we often need to double and help him out.
Crowder just doesn't have an off the dribble game and he isn't that big of a threat from deep so you can just put a big on him and still be able to help at the rim if needed.
I'd like to see lineups with Korver at the 4 and Love at the 5.
Opposing coaches are doing this because they think they can get away with hiding their bigs on Crowder, if Korver is in the game then the bigs will assume their natural defensive duties and try to defend Love. I can't imagine a coach signing Drummond or Whiteside to go chase Korver but it would be entertaining
I'm not going to write Tristan off until I've seen what he can do at full health, with the team looking like contenders (like they should have at the beginning of the season), and maybe fully motivated.
He may not be a perfect offensive big man, but he KNOWS how to rebound on the offensive glass. He knows how to create space with screens. And he knows how to rim-run for easy alley-oops.
Hopefully, the "Kardashian curse" isn't a real thing and he looks like the guy he was last year...
Frye doesn’t need to play every game in all honesty. His minutes should be based on whether the matchup makes sense.Uggh: really wish we could have integrated IT first before bringing back Thompson.
How much is he really going to provide when the bench unit already is one of the best in the league: both Green and Frye deserve minutes in there.
