Kwame can be a good role player behind JO

Pretty sure Kenyon Martin, Wilson Chandler and JR Smith can't come back to NBA due to their contract with Chinese team.
Can't stop, Rondo!

My team to win it all would be :

Rondo, Ray, Pierce, KG, Pryzbilla(vet min)
West, Redd(1/2 MLE), Green, TripleJ, JO
Bradley, Moore

Wait for amnesty rule to fall into play and we could end up with a 1-2 combo off the bench with Jeff Green.
I'd prefer a PG but if we could land a Center too then sure.
If Billups or Arenas fell into our hands, then add a Ben Wallace or Kurt Thomas
Can't stop, Rondo!

 don't know how this worked with the cap space and all but hey you gotta try lol
not realistic in terms of the cost required to acquire these players and I don't see Jordan getting away from the Clips

I don't see the C's winning it all with who they have and who's available to come in however, if they catch lightening in a bottle, I think this is what would have to happen.
- resign BBD, Green, West, Daniels (only if healthy).  This would give the team the advantage of continuity over many other teams.
- sign 2 centers that can back up JO, play D and rebound and most importantly, stay healthy all season.  The goal is to keep BBD as the backup PF and not taking minutes at the 5 spot.
- BBD has to buy in to the role he fills best on this team which is not a given.  we need 18 solid minutes from him at PF if possible to keep KG at 30 minutes
- Green has to get with the program and play well enough that we see little to no dropoff in talent at the position he's playing (whether SF or PF-->only in a lineup similar to 2008 where he plays the Posey role)
- JJJ and Bradley have to make solid contributions this year.  BBD won't have the height and athleticism needed for certain matchups and we need the defensive stopper we lost when TA left.
- sign a backup PG and backup SG just in case Bradley doesn't progress and Delonte/Daniels gets injured. 
IMHO this is the most realistic best case scenario.  I don't see a rabbit getting pulled out of Danny's hat this season with any surprise FA signings that will just put us over the top

i think this team needs a paint(low post) presence.  we have to much of  the obvious slash n kick, pick n pop. we need a al jefferson, zach randolph, marc gasol maybe type player, this line up needs a tweak that same line up isnt going to work for us anymore.. we can realy slow some teams down with some pound it inside offense.

a healthy shaq would have won us a championship last year.
