1. We gel half way to 3/4 through the season
2. We enter the playoffs as a 6th seed
3. We make either a good run to the eastern semis or the easter finals - or in a total suprise, we raise #18.
4. In the finals, KG and Perkins just at each other for seven games in a bloodbath. In the end though, KG pump fakes Ibaka on the wing, with 7 seconds to go in game 7 with us down 2. He rolls to the basket for one, last tommahawk jam over Perkins, who fouls him as time runs out. KG hits the free throw, we win by 1 point, raise #18.
5. As much as I like Perkins - he's got time in OKC for more rings...
* The sixth seed gives us a better draft pick in a deep draft
* KG and Ray's contracts come off the books
* We begin reloading with two picks in a deep draft, Paul Pierce and roughly $30 million in cap money to take advantage of the "right" free agents.
* KG and Ray come back and sign for medium money.
