Im not gonna waste my time telling you the prospects for 2 or 3 years from now, you know they're very promising.

So lets talk about this year. Bledsoe, when he was asked to be a full-time starter, was pretty bad IIRC. The Suns are betting he can coexist with Dragic, and I think that's a better for than you have here. I don't think he can helm the point for a a playoff team for a full season yet, and that's really a shame IMO, because Im really high on Beal, Davis, and Drummond. But the depth isn't anything to write home about (in terms of what these guys are gonna be bringing next season).

I think in the more shallow league we have, there's not a real chance of getting to the playoffs, though Im full on board with building the team around Davis/Drummond/Beal.

Dallas Mavs after 13
C: Al Jefferson/Enes Kanter/Chris Kaman
PF: Andrei Kirilenko/Tyler Hansborough/Jason Smith
SF: Reggie Bullock/Jonas Jerebko/Terrence Williams
SG: Eric Gordon/Brandon Knight/Reggie Bullock
PG: Tony Parker/DJ Augustine/Terrence Williams

I've decided to bring Jonas off the bench and start my 3andD rookie at SF
Put him in the corner and have him play solid pitbull defence against other SF's

[McHales Pits]

I'm ready to get others thoughts...

C - DeAndre Jordan, Greg Stiemsma
F - LeBron James, Serge Ibaka, Glen Davis, Shane Battier, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder
G - Monta Ellis, Avery Bradley, CJ Miles, Jordan Farmar, Mario Chalmers

Really like your teams fit
AB is the perfect guard to go with lebron, and your athletic 3/4/5 should provide some nice plays
Athletic scary team with some good shooters off the bench
Very fond of this team

C - DeAndre Jordan, Greg Stiemsma

G - Monta Ellis, Avery Bradley, CJ Miles, Jordan Farmar, Mario Chalmers

So Im seeing

Monta
Avery
Battier
Lebron
Ibaka

As the most dangerous lineup. Ellis isn't a premier 3pt shooter, or a good facilitator, but Lebron has become both those things. Great defenders 2-5, scorers, rebounding is weak but everything can't be perfect all the time.

Lebron is the difference between a lotto team and a contender, but you're gona get that picking last in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Jordan is good defense off the bench, Korver/Davis/Chalmers round out the tight rotation. Great team with Lebron, contender.

D.Jordan should start ahead of Ibaka at center, or play ahead of Ibaka at center, in those small-ball lineups. His superior man-to-man defense at the C position (most often) makes D.Joran the better option. More defensive integrity. Less need to double team. Against less physically imposing centers, that Ibaka can better defender, Ibaka's superior offensive game gives him the nod over D.Jordan. But I think D.Jordan takes first chair and Ibaka as alternate.

I wonder if M.Chalmers or J.Farmar with their superior long range shooting + dribble drive game (especially Farmar) isn't a better option than Avery Bradley in those small ball lineups too. That is a hard one to figure out.

I think AB is there to shut down the other teams better guard, with the offence relying on LBJ and Monta to score, so AB's not so spectacular handle won't be on display with a point forward
That's why I think AB should start

The nice thing about this team is its versatility. The bad thing is that Monta Ellis is one of the worst second fiddles for Lebron. He's not a great perimeter threat, and if Bradley is the presumable backcourt mate, that would leave Battier/Korver as the only legitimate shooter with Lebron. Beyond that, Ellis' play style has resemblances of Wade's, except that Ellis finishes at a worse rate, and needs the ball a lot more to do so. I think Korver and Jordan would be better fits to the starting lineup than Ellis and Ibaka, but at that point it would be a very inefficient use of talent.

As such, this team's offense is not looking very pretty. It'll get its fair share of points from fastbreak opportunities thanks to its defense creating offense, but there's only going to be so many of those in a game, especially during playoff season. I can easily see this team getting shut down similar to Lebron's Cleveland teams, except that there's a lot more players you can double off on.

I think this team is a definite contender, and it features one of the best defenses in the league, but I'm just not sure if there's enough offense to take this team to the top.

Why not just start Super Intendent Chalmers?

[rondoallaturca]

Why not just start Super Intendent Chalmers?

Super Nintendo Chalmers
Monta Ellis
Shane Battier
Lebron James
Deandre Jordan

This might be the best option IMO

SNES
Avery
Lebron
Ibaka
Jordan

With Baby subbing in for Jordan if needed, and Monta as a 6th. That's pretty much game over, right?

[AB_Celtic]

Wouldn't you want more perimeter shooting with Lebron?

Chalmers
Bradley / Ellis
Korver
Lebron
Ibaka / Jordan
