Looking for a center 3 8th round picks

You might be able to get Perk back if you wanted him.

Oklahoma has Perk, Kaman and Marc Gasol.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Okay so right now G.S. is looking at:

SG Manu Ginobili
SG Klay Thompson
Point Forward Andre Iguodala
PF Anthony Davis
C Channing Frye

I would look to bring in a physical presence to start at center. Doesn't need to be a high minute guy. It could just be a 15-17 minute a night guy if you wanted to pursue non-centers with your next few picks. Someone who can throw his bulk around in the paint.

I'd also target a PG with your next pick. Ginobili and Iggy can make pretty much any PG work so you'll have lots of options open to you. And a physical wing behind Iggy because Manu and Klay are both lightweights.

I think three picks like that would be very nice. Round out your rotation.

That would be what I'd look to do anyway.

Okc thunder

Pg: Billups
Sg. Monta/lee
Sf:
pf: Ibaka
 C. Gasol/kaman/Perkins

We coming for you Dwight

Also might flip a center for a starting sf anyone?

I would seriously consider that.  I'm not sure what you're gonna find for quality as a starting SF now.

I don't understand why CP07 traded Kawhi for Billups, when he could have taken Jarret Jack in the early 6th (instead of Kaman).

Now he's got to flip a big for a SF who's not nearly as good as Kawhi.

Nice lineup. Works as both a win now and a Futures team.

I would have taken that 39 year old PG to play alongside Monta Ellis.

I very much wanted to pair them together last year when I had that old PG but couldn't find a way to make it happen. I think it'd work very well.

Cleveland

PG - Jrue Holiday
SG - Michael Kidd - Gilchrist
SF - Harrison Barnes
PF - Andre Drummond
C  - Andrew Bogut

Brandon Rush, Thaddeus Young

It's not Kyrie led, but should be in contention for TOTF right? Or Defensive team of the future?

[The Walker Wiggle]

Team of the future is a trap. A vote that we hold two weeks after anyone cares anymore and maybe ten guys bother to vote for - also I would shy away from starting three rookies, as opposed to carrying three rookies. I don't think it helps in any of the players' development.

But all three are billed NBA ready. And they give so much, especially on the defensive end.

I get your point on TOTF though, thanks.

I would start Brandon Rush and MKG on the wing and bring Harrison Barnes off the bench. I don't think Barnes is ready to start.

I'd also start Thaddeus Young over Drummond. Your offense would be very limited with such poor spacing from Drummond and Bogut together. Plus, MKG on the perimeter. I'd be planning on Bogut as a 30-32mpg player with Drummond getting the rest at center. Occasionally spot minutes at PF but not as part of the regular rotation.

I'd look to bring in another backup PF later on. It's probably the deepest position in the league so you'll have options with your later picks.

Next pick I make would be a backup guard behind Holiday. Holiday is a nice big defensively capable point guard who could defend the two if necessary. You could play Holiday and your new PG alongside one another at times. Get more minutes out of him. I think that is the best value pick for your next selection. Still good talent available at PG.

Point forwards sound nice in theory, but I think there's a reason why they are so rarely used in the NBA.  The only time they are really used is when a starting pg goes to the bench.

The defending NBA champions have the best point forward in the game and don't elect to use him as one, but instead start a point guard that hasn't even been drafted yet.

I'd imagine that any real NBA coach that had this squad would probably prefer any available PG to start at PG and then bring one of your wings off the bench as 6th man.
