Projecting 2012-13

This is almost certainly our last run with the Big 3. I really enjoy thinking about the off-season at times like these (stretch run, stars resting). We could very easily look like this next season, and I was wondering how many games that team wins:

Guards
Rondo-Bradley-Pietrus

Forwards
Pierce-Bass-Green

Centers
Hibbert-Stiemsma

How many games does that team win? Are they better than this year's team? We essentially replace Garnett with Hibbert and Ray with Green.

The other thing to consider is our recent draft picks and our two first rounders. Will Moore and JJJ contribute? Will the rookies bring anything to the table?

Without KG stretching the floor, Bass isn't a valuable piece anymore. So, this is going to be a moderate play-off team that will definitely go out in the first round, presumably get swept.

That is a little harsh - Bass and Hibbert can both hit the 18 footer; so can JJ, Green and the Stiemer.

Would love to see a lineup or Rondo-Bradley-Pietrus-Green-Bass running the break.

I think that team, with the right combo of rookies, could win 55. Not sure they can contend, but it really depends on the rooks.

I can understand your point, but there's a BIG difference between being able to hit a shot and consistently hitting it. Hibbert or Stiemsma can hit it, albeit on a small sample of attempts and that's where your jump shooting team gets hurt.
JJJ is a poor man's Glen Davis. Undersized. Ugly shooting motion, poor rebounding. I'd love to see him packaged to somewhere else in this condition.

I can't believe you just compared JuJuan Johnson to Glen Davis.
