Those are the two who seem most "at risk" if for no other reason than the numbers alone.  Not suggesting that they WILL opt out.

It seems odd that we'd have such depth, after so many years of inadequate depth.  When have we ever had 5 players capable of playing guard?  Or four forwards who might all be capable of playing a heavy load of minutes [and 5, if you count Hughes prospectively sliding to 3]?  Would definitely be a first world set of problems.

He'd have to press / play an expanded rotation, or there would be lots of disgruntled players.  I could see him using an expanded roster like he did in 2012, then going with the "closers" for the last 6 minutes of the game.  But a guy like Washington would probably have to wait for a bigger role the following year.

Then again, you never know -- players get injured, unexpected things happen, etc.  Our 10 guys [counting Buddy] could be down to 9 or 8 or 7 if the bad luck of the last few years holds form.

Agree 100% with your take on the big -- they'd be a deep reserve, probably a developmental type like the kid we lost to Washington in November, or a euro.
