Im against "tanking" we need to play every game to win. However im all for trading ray or kg(not likely for assets).
If we end up with say the 18th and 23 picks, then I would like danny to lock into 1 player projected in the 12-15 range that he thinks has the making of an allstar and go after him using both picks and one of our young guys (if needed). My guys would hands down be Rivers as I think he has the makings of a 20pt nba scorer and a smart all around game. Aside from rivers there are a few others like Quincy Miller,J Lamb, T Ross. Aside from the draft Ive also posted many times that we need to come out of this summers FA market with a center, either dwight or one of the young group coming free.
EXAMPLE for next season
Omar Asik (8.5 mill)[26], Steimsma (1.5mill][27]
Bass (6 mill)[27], JJJ[23]
Pierce[35],Green(5 mill)[36]
Rivers[20],Moore[23]
Rondo[26],Avery[22]
This unit has a good balance of young,young vets, and the captain.
As a starter i would expect 8pts 10rb out of asik,Bass 12pt 6rb,pierce 16pts 5rb,rivers 15pts (i could see him in running for rookie of the year) and rondo 15pts. Defence will be a work in progress but the potential will be there.
The bench would hinge on the recovery of J green and the development of avery ,JJJ,steim and moore. This bench is a running group that would struggle defending the post.
