2012 - CB Draft: "How's My Team Look?"

[Lucky17]

Stephen Curry
Kevin Martin
Gerald Wallace
Pau Gasol
DeAndre Jordan

Bench:
Lou Williams
JR Smith
Wilson Chandler
DeJuan Blair
Greg Stiemsma
Steve Novak
Greivis Vasquez
Matt Bonner

The starting five is interesting, but I think it works. Curry gives you a PG who, I hope, can get his teammates the ball, especially Martin and Gasol.

If Jordan can progress as a defender, I think the frontline could be quite good defensively.

Seems like an overabundance of three-point specialists on the bench. Might move one for a defensive specialist, I don't know. What;s the nine-man rotation?

This is a really solid starting 5 but are curry and Martin good defensively ?

[Who]

Okc thunder

Pg: Chauncey Billups/ Andre Miller
Sg: Courtney Lee/ Jamal Crawford
Sf: Caron Butler/ Rashard Lewis
Pf: Serge Ibaka/ Antawn Jamison
C:  Andrew Bynum / Chris Kaman

New thunder  comments?

Andrew Bynum and Serge Ibaka is an absolutely sensational defensive combination. That must be the best defensive big man duo in the league.

The starters on the perimeter look weak though. Andrew Bynum is more of a second option offensively than a first option at this stage of his career. A lack of quality shot-creation outside of Bynum.

well we already sent away redick so i'd say our shooters are good enough, jordan gets 2 blocks a game so he does have some defense this will probably be our team coming off the bench

Steve Novak/DeJuan Blair
Greg Stiemsma/Matt Bonner

[Who]

Stephen Curry
Kevin Martin
Gerald Wallace
Pau Gasol
DeAndre Jordan

Bench:
Lou Williams
JR Smith
Wilson Chandler
DeJuan Blair
Greg Stiemsma
Steve Novak
Greivis Vasquez
Matt Bonner

PG - Stephen Curry, Lou Williams
SG - Kevin Martin, Lou Williams
SF - Gerald Wallace, Wilson Chandler
PF - Pau Gasol, (Gerald Wallace)
C  - DeAndre Jordan, (Pau Gasol)


I would say that is their main rotation. A regular seven man rotation with some situational subs brought in for specific matchups. Blair if you need a banger in the paint. Novak if you need a shooting big. Stiemsma if you need more shot-blocking alongside Gasol while DeAndre rests. Vasquez if you need a bigger ball-handler because Lou Will is struggling defensively against a bigger guard.

Hmm, I left out JR Smith. Oversight.

Nope, I can't fit JR Smith in. It would hurt the team more than it would help them. Too bad. JR Smith is very talented backup SG. But Lou Williams and Wilson Chandler are more talented than him so they take priority.

It might be worth trying to trade JR Smith for an above average backup big man. Get a better player in there behind Pau Gasol and ahead of your other bench bigs.

PG - Vasquez
SG - JR Smith
SF - Novak
PF - Blair, Bonner
C  - Stiemsma,

Lots of talent there deep on the bench too. Very good team.

Curry is good martin is average

[indeedproceed]

Kevin Martin has been the worst starting defensive SG in the league the last couple of years.

Kevin Martin is offended by your comment

[Lucky17]

New look after today's picks and trade:

PG: Chris Paul/Luke Ridnour/(Foye)
SG: Wesley Matthews/Landry Fields/Randy Foye
SF: Danny Granger/Chase Budinger
PF: Ersan Ilyasova/Amir Johnson/Royce White
C:  Nene/Jordan Hill

One pick remaining. We have a 7-foot rebounding center in mind, and will probably take him unless someone feels there's another type of player we should target.

Not a fan of a team where pau gasol is the best player and leader on a team. That situation was 0-12 in the playoffs in Memphis.

Fire Nate McMillan + hire Mike D'Antoni ??

Play run and gun style like the old Suns with Chris Paul in Steve Nash's place.

How about we hire that other coach we were thinking of as an assistant? I like Nate too much to hand him walking papers so soon after hiring him.

No, I don't think roster suits the other guy. Perfect for D'Antoni though.
