I'll likely get tickets to see them in Toronto, my only shot to watch them unless I go to Detroit or NY

So hyped for tonight. Also the first time I have no idea how our rotations are going to shake out. Based on preseason workouts thus far I would guess it's something like this:

PG
Starter: D'Lo
Backup:Huertas
3rd string: Calderon

SG
Starter: Clarkson
Backup: LouWill
3rd string: Calderon

SF
Starter: Deng
Backup: Ingram
3rd string: Nick Young/Anthony Brown
.
PF
Starter: Randle
Backup: Nance
3rd String: Deng/Yi/Tarik

C: Mozgov
Backup: Yi
3rd string: Zubac/Tarik

That would be 15 players, meaning Metta, T-Rob, Jacob's, and Wear get cut.

I suppose there is an outside chance that Nick Young gets stretched T-mobile makes the final roster but all signs point to Swaggy starting the season with the Lakers.

I guess there's also a small possibility of T-Rob(who's been extremely impressive in camp) making the team over Tarik but I think Tarik's history with Luke gives him the edge here.

I realllllyy wish we had a spot for T-Rob. I love his game man.. He's never really been given a fair chance to shine. I think in the final 6 games of the season that he started last year, he put up like 14/15 or so. Pretty solid and he's still very young. Just hard to find room for him with such a crowded front court as is

I think the only way he makes the team is if Tarik is cut. Yi seems like a lock to make the roster with the way Luke has praised his shooting ability and potential as a stretch 5. . There's not a lot of 4/5 minutes to go around as it is because i think Nance might also spend some time at the 5 playing alongside Randle.

Yeah for sure. We need a stretch 4/5 so I agree in the sense that Yi is pretty well a lock for a roster spot. I wouldn't be upset if they decided to go with T-Rob over Tarik though. Definitely a log jam at the 4/5, but that's not necessarily a bad thing by any means. Glad we have the depth this year.

Marcelo first PG off the bench(ahead of Calderon).

Black first Center off the bench(ahead of Yi).

Interesting.
