This is a great roster (given the circumstances). Horford, while old, unlocks a ton of lineup versatility due to his 3 point shooting and defensive chops. A backline of Jimmy, Draymond, and Horford has the potential to be elite defensively.

It will be interesting to see how we position our minutes at the 5. We will find out if our best lineups in crunch time are with Horford at the 5, or with Draymond at the 5 and we use Horford to try to keep those minutes down. Horford would also really help our bench lineups, and could help unlock Kuminga to a degree. Kuminga needs a stretch 5 for spacing, but Post/Kuminga as a defensive backline will be problematic. 

I think it makes more sense to pair Post in lineups with Draymond at the 4. Say Horford and Jimmy are the first off the floor for the starters, you sub in moody/buddy and play a lineup of Steph, Buddy, Moody, Draymond, Post (or insert melton for one of them when healthy). When steph is resting, lineups with Podz, (moody/hield/melton), Jimmy, Kuminga, Horford should be excellent at covering for the shooting weaknesses of Jimmy and Kuminga.

Going to have to be careful with time this season. No NBA team in history has started a 39-year-old (Horford), a 37-year-old (Curry),a 36-year-old (Butler), and a 35-year-old (Green).

Maybe Horford will be like Robert Parish who played 27 minutes a night both as a 39 and 40 year old for Boston. LeBron played 35 minutes as a 39 year old on average.  Karl Malone, 36. Jordan, 37. Reggie Miller, 33.

Seth Curry is 35. GP2 and Buddy Hield are 32. Melton is an old, injury-prone 27.

Dr. Rick Celebrini might be the team's MVP this season.

We'll see.
