That would leave Irving (probably leaving), Cook, and Thornton at the guard position with minutes also going to Rivers and Dawkins.
If Irving leaves, I see no problem: Plumlee, Plumlee/Kelly, Rivers, Dawkins, and Cook/Thornton will start. If he stays, then I suppose both Cook and Thornton come off the bench.
My wild fantasy (Hey, I'm an old guy) is that Rivers grows to 6-7, and Coach puts him in the middle.
