 How many wins would you expect with out team plays Gasol and Horford, and how far do we make it in the playoff's. Do we will Two series?

 Gasol Mickey
 Horford Kelly
 Crowder Brown
 Bradley Smart
 Thomas Rozier

 Zizic, if he's coming would help as well.

It will depend of how good Gasol will be under Brad system.
He might end up like Lee.
If he blend in well, I believe we can go ECF.

Also, without Turner, we need good handling from smart & brown.
If not, we might have a not so good offensive results.
Turner was huge for us last season.

IMO we were among the weaker teams in the league at the 4/5 and this is obviously a drastic improvement at these two positions. Both of these players are fundamentally sound, but given their age and years in the league, are not particularly fast or athletic relative to their peers. 55 wins seems attainable. Ultimately, the length of the contracts and whether we could do even better in free agency and/or trades would be the determining factors. Horford is going to want max dollars and years. Gasol will want fairly big dollars but less years at age 36, like Amir Johnson.

7 more wins -
2nd round of the playoffs or until we faced a team that could force us back into small ball..

Gasol is just so old..

I think 52ish. We almost have to keep Amir and probably JJ. With that much age we need depth unless Zizic is a pleasant surprise at year one. Year two is much more likely with our overseas stashed boyz. Also KO may take a few months to recover from shoulder problems.

55 = I don't think Hoford and Pau complement each other that well. Too slow a tandem.

I think the team could win 57-60 games if Horford started alongside someone else (Jerebko, Amir, Olynyk) and Pau Gasol came off the bench in a 20mpg role. I think that would create better balance for the team.

55... but I would never give Horford a max deal.. little by little he is already wearing down ..
Gasol on the other hand is playing like he was in his earlier years... yes he gets injured more often but he is also a player who may not be looking for a long contract... pay him 23mil/year over 2 years
