Position-less

It should be noted that Spoesltra does not approach his lineups within the framework of traditional depth charts and positions. As he likes to say, his teams are “position-less” and he likes to mix up his combinations of players, especially on the wing.
We’ll see plenty of pairings of Wade and Green, Bosh and McRoberts, Dragic and Chalmers and so on. But everyone has a starting point, and this is Spo’s.
With a roster much deeper and versatile, it’s the kind of team he likes to have, and one that should be much better than last season’s lottery team.
