I would love to have a full healthy roster.

TJ may find himself the odd man out after missing basically half the season. ( Especially if Neal continues playing like this)

Actually, nevermind about Neal. He played really well the two games before Detroit, but has otherwise been inconsistent. He is however, hitting 48% from three in February so far.

He’s not a PG. Manu, likely will start (once in game shape) and then TJ’s position makes even more sense. TJ has veteran experience and that’ll go a long way.

This should help Pop keep Parker and Manu’s minutes down, as a 3rd ball handler would exist. Neal and Green in small amounts, is cool, but not consistently. Neal is much better with scoring on his mind than when he has to worry about both.

I noticed that the trade restrictions on free agents signed like TJ will expire soon. I wouldn’t be expecting a trade, but it seems possible that if a trade were in the works that he might be someone needed to match up salaries. Has he increased his value much this year so that when his current contract expire he’d be able to get more than he’s been getting this year from the Spurs? I’d think it might be more likely that if he did wind up in a trade, he’d be waived and back with the team after 30 days.
