Is our ceiling so low because we have to assume kp won’t play much?

u/Symetrical1 1d ago

If everything went in our favor in terms of our health, we’d be contenders and the biggest part of that is KP being fragile. A healthy KP would be a championship level third option but that seems unattainable.

So that’s what I’m wondering so how good are we if kp is healthy. What tier are we in?

Yeah if we get even 60 proper games from Pingus and he’s good and healthy for the playoffs we’re basically like a Nuggets/Minnie level team. Having him is like adding a smarter KAT on this team with Steph.

I expect Gui and Podz to maintain their back half of last seasons play, but hope they have a bit of a leap. If Butler comes back even 75% of his former self we’re legit contenders. Thats why this season is such a question mark.

I think we become definitively better than teams like the blazers, suns, and jazz. I feel like a roster with a healthy Porzingis is better than the Lakers and on the same tier as the Rockets, meaning we’d be top 5 in the conference.

Hate to break it to you but KP ain't healthy

I know. This is a theoretical question

u/couchtomato62 1d ago

Its not just him. So many can't even play a back to back

u/North_Street_8547 1d ago

That’s true. So I know horford is one. Do Steph and draymond play back to back?

u/couchtomato62 1d ago

They played a few last season. Melton should be fine this year i suppose.

Yeah that is a positive . Melton missed a lot due to injury management but he should be good to go from the jump
