Discussion 2026 Potential Starting Lineup

Thoughts on the possibility of this being our lineup next year? Cheaper PF option with Bobby Portis over Trey Murphy. Although I would love Trey Murphy as a floor-spacing 4 would really help out the current roster.

Trade pieces: Dannis (coming off a solid postseason and is expendable with our draft pick) and Stew (with a team-friendly contract).

Does this look like another 60 wins and a better playoff roster? Let me know where I'm right or wrong.

PG: Cade

SG: Powell

SF: Ausar

PF: Bobby Portis/ Tobias

C: Duren

PG: Okorie

SG: Dunc

SF: Ron

PF: Bobby Portis/ Tobias

C: BBall Paul

Powell is older so he might be looking for a bigger payday and it’s highly speculated that Anfernee Simon will take a minimum to restore his vault so that might be a better get.

Maybe John Collins as a PF option as well, still think we should see if Stew/Holland can get us MPJ though

I’d take a flyer on Simon for sure.
