    Not a big fan of signing Dragic and drafting Marshall. We're going to have to offer up a pretty big deal to Dragic to get him here. It sounds like he may get 4-5 years. So that makes drafting Marshall a bit redundant. I don't want to pay big for Dragic, and sit Marshall behind him for 4-5 years.

    I'd rather pay big to sign Nash for 2 years, and he can teach Marshall.

    Not good? We aren't a good team! Did you forget this? We just lost our 2 best players........ remember? This 5 isn't that bad considering how bad of a team had this past season. Do you really think we are going to put out 5 quality players next season?

    As big of a homer as you can be.... I figured you'd be a little more optimistic.

    If that's the best starting-5 you think we can do, I would have to believe we are absolutely screwed.

    PG: FA (Dragic, Lin)
    SG: Beal
    SF: Batum
    PF: Aldridge
    C: TBD

    Hickson is IMO a third big on a playoff team.

    Beal is a much better complement to Batum than Barnes.

    Who would our C be? I agree on Hickson. A 3-man rotation at the 4 & 5 with LA, Hickson, and someone else, plus Joel as a 4th man would be decent. If we could get a solid PF in the draft, we could slide LA to C (yes, I know he's weak, but there are few teams that really have anyone at C that would obliterate LA - plus, there's solid help on the bench if we keep Hickson and Joel).

    I'm cool with trying to sign a PG. I think if you're going to go after guys like Lin or Dragic, you don't go after Marshall - it'd be a bit redundant.

    I think Freeland could be that guy.

    He has legit size and an overall inside/outside game to complement LaMarcus.

    But my pipedream is still DeMarcus Cousins! The most gifted bigman low-post scorer in the game.

    DC would be rad. But it ain't happening.

    Still hoping Freeland comes over. That may not be a bad rotation for the 4/5. LA-Hickson-Joel-Joel.

    It sucks because a huge part of what we can do is all tied to the draft lottery, and I'm tired of waiting to find out where we'll be picking.

    RE: Barnes, we already tried the Martell Webster experiment. Have to learn from our mistakes.

    Kendall Marshall ... To the Timberwolves? I guess it is David Kahn we're dealing with here

    Austin Rivers is becoming crazy underrated. I think his stock will bounce back once workouts start.
