^ Obviously not guaranteed a roster spot even if your name is LeBron James or DeMar DeRozan.
Roster's set for a few seasons before anyone starts slowing down. Josh at 31 is our oldest core piece, and the one most people think is the first to ideally take a step back and come off the bench. KAT turns 31 this fall, Jalen and Mikal 30 late this summer.
We still have youth in the pipeline, Kolek/Mo with promising years. Really hoping to see more from Dadiet this season.
We were pretty fortunate on health this year, but you have to expect injuries at some point, and that's when the youth will really get a chance to prove themselves.

In Sac Derozzen was bought in to be part of the empicenter of its culture. Here he would come to compliment it.
If there is a personality thing then obviously MIke Brown don't sign off on that.
Not that clarkson has signed its all a moot point. The thought was IF clarkson don't return and we want offense off the bench.
I Know you hate Lebron with a great passion so you won't see it even if it was someone remote possible (which I don't) but until he signs elsewhere and there is a spot its "Possible". I never saw lebron as a culture killer. I would assume also he knows coming into a team that just won a chip with its alphas does preesnt unique elements. Given the very unlikley scenario its really not worth diving too deep into. Rumors are not pointing to it nor is it even logical at many levels.
But.......Lebron is a unifier than an isolator on teams. Even by Charles Barkley comments this weeks saying he ranks Lebron 3rd of all the players he has seen behind Kobe and Jordan. His reasoning was "Lebron is too nice a guy, does not have that killer in him". In part, Lebron would rather make a great pass to a player to win the game vs. Taking the last shot. He has been critisized for that in the past. On this knick team you'd want Jalen to do it. Also clutch is OG and Kat is pretty darn good in a pinch.
IM not trying to convince you Sergio, just a point of view.
