    I dunno; you might need a 6th to cover for the one-in-five draft picks we have that's permanently injured playing Kinect Star Wars.

    Let's say we keep Hickson, draft four players (trading LMA), and keep Batum. We would then have Batum, Williams, Hickson, four rookies, Babbitt, Johnny Flynn, Nolan Smith, all under the age of 25 (some will be barely 24).

    Batum, Williams, and Hickson are all ready to be starters on a young team looking to make the playoffs in three years. Draft BPA, and let the coach mess with rotations at will.

    You can count Flynn out. We won't have any money for him.

    No big loss, but wouldn't we have an MLE to offer him?

    You don't' get the MLE if you're under the cap.

    Gotcha. Although, if we're trading LMA lopsided for a pair of picks, we'd probably have more room under the cap to offer a couple million, even with a resigned Batum and Hickson.

    But anyway, no big loss. We lose a headband and some bad behind the back passes, and a buddy for JJ, but that's about it.

    That would be an exceptional draft.
