    No to Al Jefferson. No defense whatsoever.

    A lot of guys opting out of these contracts are gonna get a cruel welcome to the new world of NBA labor.

    They don't have quite enough cap space to offer him the max yet. I wonder why they didn't end up trading Thomas Robinson, as that was how they were supposed to be doing it. Maybe they think they're going to sign-and-trade with the Lakers?

    I'm getting close to giving up on getting Asik, at least without giving up more than I want to, because I think he's enough of an asset (unlike Robinson, apparently) to want to hang on to, even if he's kind of redundant. Unless we do this (and we get Mirotic and Charlotte's 2014 pick)

    I would do that easily

    There are way more quality PFs available; plus lopez is on a long contract. Then you even can try and bring hickson back as starter.

    So we can put out a lineup of Lillard, McCollum, JJ, Lopez and somebody and have the worst-defending lineup in history?

    I wonder if ATL is going to do a full rebuild if they strike out in FA.

    Asik/Peckovic or bust.

    Leonard will see major progression on the court this year so whoever it is he'll be splitting a lot of time with Leonard.

    Talking of splitting, I'd put Tiago in there as a third option. He's a better defender than Pekovic and a better scorer than Asik...

    Call me crazy but a LMA/Leonard/Josh Smith rotation at PF/C would be interesting. Supposedly Smith is not expected to get any max offers so possibly not unrealistic.

    For the tank, silly. ;)

    Low cost lotto pick PF. Give him a couple of years. He's gonna bust out when he gets the chance.

    Splitter also is a great pick n roll player, which is something that would be very good for Lillard, as he's an excellent pick n roll guy with no one to feed right now. Aldridge is too narrow, more of a pick n pop guy.
