    OK, I'll elaborate.
    You sign him, you don't even need to keep Batum. You move Wesley to SF and you have a solid team all-around with Mayo starting at SG.

    Lillard/Smith
    Mayo/Williams/Barton
    Mathewss/Claver/Babitt
    JJ Hickson/Freeland
    Aldridge/Leonard

    Don't hate the idea. Don't love it, but don't hate it.

    Lillard, Mayo, Matthews, Hickson, Aldridge is a starting lineup that will allow 110 points a game

    Sure would like to know how good Williams and Barton are. Mayo is not bad, but I am not sure he has shown anything more than what I think Elliot can be. '

    I wonder if his agent is blowing smoke saying the Lakers, Bulls Suns and Mavs are all interested.
    As I recall he chose to go to SC for college because of the city. And that was when he was 18.

    That it's a terrible defensive lineup.. Thought that was obvious.

    Where I live we say "the best defense is offense".

    I am not so sure. Mayo himself is considered a good defender. It is is jump shot that is inconsistent.

    Lillard looks like he can play D. Wes is decent and LA is decent. JJ would need to improve. But overall I would say it would be an average defense line up.

    I don't think Wes or LaMarcus would be decent at defense playing out of position. Lillard does look like he can play D, but he likely won't be that good at it as a rookie. JJ is pretty bad at defense and Mayo isn't superb. Add all that together I think it's a pretty bad defensive lineup.

    If they scored 115 a night, and gave up 110? I would buy season tickets and watch them win the West.

    I didn't say they would score 115 a night, so how would that be my point? Reading comprehension, give it a try.
