    To an injury?
    We can afford to lose any of those just not more than 1.
    If Bari goes down, Tari will step up.
    Green goes down, Cam can take his place.
    If Alpi goes down, Jabari moves to center.

    Why would you want to find out?
    We're in a great place.

    No way! I am being serious, DD's votes are already counting towards his conjugal visits to a certain Kevin Brian Junior.

    Stay modest, people.

    I'll wait until the end of the seasons or years down the line before we have to make any decisions, or if we can keep them based on the future cap.

    Just enjoying the games and watching these guys develop. We don't know what we have yet long term imo.

    bingo. what we hope to see over the course of a full year over multiple seasons is what you judge on who you keep and who is worth investing in

    those decisions are not made based on summer league or preseason both of with aren't where true nba games are played with all the attributes

    Of all the names you mentioned, we can not replace Jabari. Tari is good but not to Jabari's level.

    Jabari's production and level of play has carried over from SL to present. Everyone can see that. He is effective on both ends of the floor.

    The best true two way player is Jabari Smith. When Jalen Green is not scoring he gives you nothing else.

    It seems like you already had the answer to your question but didn't want to create another Jabari franchise player thread.
    hehehehe

    Bari looks to be the most locked in.. Jalen looks to want to be great but still a year away.. I think of all the players, I wouldn't want to lose Sengun for a long period of time tho

    It has actually carried over from the last 25 games or so last season, thru summer league, and two preseason games.

    I think they can live w/o Sengun, you can put Jabari at the 5, Tari at the 4 and use J. Green as the backup 5.

    To me it's Jabari, because no one can replace his length.

    I don't want to lose any of them in all honesty. We're watching preseason games, so obviously all of the "experts" here have declared the weakly bust/megastar guarantees that'll change after the next game. Jabari, Jalen and Amen look the most likely to become star level (which makes sense considering where they were drafted) with Cam and Sengun in the next tier and Tari a tier below them. It'd be stupid if we let any of them go this early, this isn't TyTy and Garuba.

    Jabari. His combination of size, skill set and archetype is the hardest to replace.

    Silly question to ask considering that decision isn't even an urgent thing right now and we are actively in the process of finding out who fits where and how.
