The team as constructed right now has a terrific group nucleus mix of rookies and young players with potential. The few veterans who are scattered across the roster, are only being used to help keep the team somewhat significant. These veterans (some of which who truly are young veterans with Davis, Afflalo, Nelson, and Redick), have the possibilities of either staying with the team as bench roleplayers in the future, being traded soon to a contender, or staying with us until they opt out as a Free Agent.
The young players, in my opinion, will stick with us and develop through these next 3 years. I see plenty of potential in who we have right now, jugding by the season thus far. This is where I see our lineups 3 years down the line. All we need is to somehow find a dominant, near franchise-calibre shooting guard to take over when Afflalo leaves. Hopefully we find this player either through free agency or the draft. He must be young enough to be a few years before his prime.
Starting lineup:
Moore
<All-Star calibre young Shooting Guard>
Harkless
Nicholson
Vucevic
Bench lineup(of impact):
D. Jones
O'Quinn
Nelson
Redick
<Tall, Athletic Power Foward who can gaurd taller Power Fowards>

~45 win team that looks something like this:
PG: Kasey Hill (or a stud free agent if we land Wiggins or Parker; maybe a guy like John Wall)
SG: Ben McLemore
SF: Wiggins or Parker (or a stud free agent if we land Kasey Hill instead)
PF: Nicholson
C: Derrick Favors (Not a true center but a great player that can play center in today's NBA)
Bench:
Vucevic
JJ (doubtful)
Moore
Jameer (on a good contract)
Other good bench players from trading Afflalo & BBD
Yea and i want a three-some with Megan Fox and Jessica Alba and that is prolly more likely than us gettin that team above but i guess we can hope
Well, it's not going to happen if we field a competitive team next year. We should have the cap space in 2015 to sign two max guys and Favors and Wall are the kind of guys that I would imagine would love to team up and lead an up and coming team. So really, I'm just saying:
PG: Max Free Agent
SG: this years lottery pick
SF: next years lottery pick
PF: Nicholson
C: Max Free Agent
Doesn't seem too unrealistic if Henny stops giving players like Jameer $9 mil per year deals. This should be the "plan" anyway. Plus, I did say "hope for".
thelead wrote:^ Well, if that's Henny's real plan we're not going to win a championship unless he can convince top flight free agents to come to Orlando over places like LA, NY, Chicago, and the likes. Plus the top stars are already locked up for a while so we're going to be a team that makes the playoffs yet never has a chance to win a championship. Yay!!! I can't wait for 5-10 years of that!
Also, there are possibly 3-5 stars in next year's draft. We don't NEED the #1 pick. It sure would be nice though.

I was talking about the 2014 draft. There is maybe one in this year's draft and he isn't the 2 you listed.

Then who? Noel?

FINALLY something we agree on! I think this guy would be perfect for our team and a good character guy henny might want to bring in i see us tradin up for him if our pick is not good enough to get him on our own
