With David Stern stating that if the union decertifies, ALL contracts will be voided and the entire season will be missed, that would mean that the 2012-13 Lakers roster would be all new folks ... my question is ... if you were the GM and had $61 mil to spend, how would you stack the roster?
Let's use 2011-12 salaries as our base, a $61 mil cap, no rookie contracts (for obvious reasons) and no rookies obviously ... you can use guys on rookie contracts but value accordingly ... for example John Wall would obviously get $12+mil, Blake Griffin would get $15+mil, etc ... and no Kobe nor his high $25+mil contract need be on the team (even though realistically he would be) .
LET'S SEE YOUR 12 MAN ROSTERS!

Why only 61 mill to spend?

I thought it was 85 mil since the owners were being "generous" and gave each team a 2.5 million bonus added to the salary cap to sign players?

Well, couldn't we like have a 200 million payroll after a decertification if we wanted to?
