    For next season with players already on the roster. Mine is:

    Meyers
    Aminu
    Crabbe
    CJ
    Dame

    Gives us shooting with four excellent 3 point shooters. Dame and CJ can handle the ball and penetrate. Aminu at PF makes it a quick and athletic lineup. Getting the group to play decent defense will be the trick. We might want to start a different group to stagger Dame or CJ always being in the game and prevent Meyers from getting too many fouls. But I like this group to make runs, execute in the half court and close out games.

    That lineup reminds me of early 90's Denver... no defense, 7 seconds to shoot. I like it! This is a group that could catch fire randomly in the third quarter and go on a 18-0 run if the other team helps by missing open shots.

    Plumlee, Leonard, Amino, CJ, Dame

    by the end of the year I am hoping it to be: Leonard, Vonleh, Amino, CJ, Dame

    We desperately need one more scorer.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That's definitely an interesting lineup, small ball is always fun.

    I'd probably go with:

    Plumlee
    Davis
    Aminu
    McCollum
    Lillard

    Surrounding Lillard with two good pick-and-roll partners and two good shooters strikes me as a good way to create a highly functional Lillard-centered offense. I also think this simultaneously gives the Blazers one of their best defensive groups as well.

    Doesn't really matter. Draw straws for positions and give the young guys minutes .

    That lineup is going to get smothered on the offensive end. Lillard and McCollum are the only guys that can shoot in that lineup. Teams would just pack the paint and double Lillard on every possession.

    For what? He was available last season for Love and then he had a strong season. The Warriors seem to really like him, so it would probably take a lot to get him.

    Unless you mean Matt Barnes. ;)

    Sounds legit. If only Olshey weren't on vacation in Hawai'i.
