So I think my main rotation is pretty much done now. An 8 man unit.
I am at about $58 million now.
Lots to talk about here.
Some health concerns with EGor and Amare. The million-dollar question is whether or not STAT's health holds up long enough to give you a few years of contention when the Brow hits his stride.
As far as fit goes, though, everything is there.
Jack is an average PG, but PG's are overrated anyway. Jack and Gordon aren't the quickest of backcourts, but Davis should make up for a lot of that. Mbah a Moute is a tremendous fit because your other four starters can all shoot. Davis covers Amare's deficiencies on defense and rebounding, though I do think you'll be a bit below average on the glass as a whole. Budinger is a nice weapon off the bench and has become underrated in the wake of his injury.
Kanter makes a lot of sense along with Davis, and you'll probably end up shifting Davis to the 4 and starting Kanter when Amare slows down.
I like this team a lot overall. I initially thought you picked Amare too early in the draft - thought the contract and health issues would drop him some - but if he's healthy he makes you a dangerous playoff team much earlier than you otherwise would have been with just Gordon and Davis. You'd better hire Phoenix's medical staff, though, because this team will need the best. This team could become a strong contender for a couple of years, or it could become as big of a what-if story as real-life Portland.
EDIT: Looked up Jack's stats... he's doing a lot better this year than I thought. Didn't know how well he was shooting the ball. If that's not a fluke (he's been wildly inconsistent from year to year), then he's a good PG for you.
