felipe lopez aint walking through that door

 

[MikelArteta]

From what I've seen, these are guys that have confirmed to be playing or going to the training camp they're having

Confirmed
Edey, SGA, Murray, NAW, Brooks, Barrett, Powell, Nembhard, Dort, Olynyk

Guys I've seen mentioned as wanting to play or going to the camp: Wiggins, Tristan, Cory, Lyles, Shaedon, Brissett, Banton, Leonard Miller and Melvin Ejim

Also saw Carlisle said Mathurin won't be cleared to play but will attend the camp

I imagine a few of the other Euroleague guys like the scrubbs and the guys who show up for the winter games will be at camp

To me, I'd want something like

Olynyk, Edey, Powell
Wiggins, Lyles
Brooks, Barrett
Murray, Dort, Naw
SGA, Nembhard

I agree that team is stacked, should only be NBA players, honestly id take tristan thompson over powell. Thompson is an excellent rebounder.

Wiggins got scratched last min because the Warriors want to trade him. Kerr looking fishy in the light.

We could have used his size no homo

Kyle Alexander also cut and Brissett left to focus on free agency
