IP's Thoughts On The Thunder:

PG: Jrue Holiday, Kirk Hinrich, Keyon Dooling
SG: Keith Bogans, Alexey Shved, E'Twaun Moore
SF: Kevin Durant, Mickael Gelabale
PF: Josh Smith, Lamar Odom, (Jason Thompson)
C: Kendrick Perkins, Jason Thompson, Hasheem Thabeet

I Love: Foundation around Holiday, Durant, and Smith. Very similar to what the Thunder have now, although weaker in some areas, they're stronger in others. While not the current flavor of the month, I think Smith to be at worst a peer of Ibaka's on defense, if not his better. On offense, Ibaka has a very definite skill with a jumper, but Smith is a much better package. He always gets accused of having a terrible shot selection, but people forget he's the first option on offense and was every time Joe Johnson wasn't on the floor. With Durant he is the clear as day second option, and


(will finish later)

Love a good cliffhanger, especially when it stops before it gets real ugly 

Thanks IP

Finished Thunder.

AB, thanks for the write up and praise. Agree with most everything, although of course Im a little higher on my guys, but they're my guys so..figures.

Teletovic, I drafted because he's just not as bad as he looks right now. He's getting used to the NBA 3pt line, and I'll bet my shirt that he turns into a difference maker for NJ next season.

[Who]

PG: Jrue Holiday, Kirk Hinrich, Keyon Dooling
SG: Keith Bogans, Alexey Shved, E'Twaun Moore
SF: Kevin Durant, Mickael Gelabale
PF: Josh Smith, Lamar Odom, (Jason Thompson)
C: Kendrick Perkins, Jason Thompson, Hasheem Thabeet

I really like the idea of this team with Lamar Odom at center instead of Perk in a running team. Paul Westphal is the coach. He'd be great with that type of a team.

Josh Smith would be incredible at power forward in that type of a setup.

Love this line up. Pretty sure you win for best young team

Wow, IP sure does go all out with the write-ups.  I can't wait to see what he says about my team, if he dares. 

Not gonna pretend to be the wordsmith you are IP, but I do actually like the team you've built.  Irving and Barnes are going to be something special together in a few years.  Anderson is defintely a good complement at PF.  His ability to spread the floor will work great with the drive and dish gaame of Irving, and Barnes ability to get to get the basket as well.

You just have make sure to just let Bynum sign elsewhere next year though.  Dude is washed up.  I'd imagine you should still have cap space to figure out a better option at center with Bynum's contract off the books.

More economical and better.

There's a few other's I would put up there too, but this has to be the best young line-up.

My only question is, is  this the right enviroment for DMC to reach his full potential?  It seems like the whole thing here hinges on him.  As good as Lawson is, and Beal/MKG probably will be, DMC is the only one with true super-star potential.

Brooks is probably the right coach for the job though.

I disagree, there's no way Lamar Odom can be a center unless it's in a celebrity basketball game. Nowhere near strong enough nor committed enough to taking contact.

One thing I found out that was pretty interesting: In trade talks the Hornets have made Ryan Anderson (still just 24 yrs old on a very affordable contract) untouchable. They're committed to keeping him, and it cost them a deal on the table for Pau Gasol.

I think Pau Gasol is actually the superior player but for NO he makes no sense

Ryan Anderson gives you a better bang for your buck

Teletovic, 10 minutes, 4-7 from the field, 1-2 from range, +3 tonight against the bulls. Kind of exactly what you want from your bench stretch 4.

Just sound drafting here folks, nothin magic about it, despite how it might look.
