Alright, whittled my list down to about 5, and now down to only 2. Both of them are from franchises that will almost certainly be available.

Player One Advantage: Spacing/Unquestionable Offensive Fit
Player Two Advantage: Defense, ALSO Can Upgrade Draymond from 2017 to 2016

Decisions, Decisions...

The draft isn't finished yet, Reggie and Laimbeer haven't finished their teams.

Sixers are exhausted I'm afraid (Embiid, Barkley, Holiday, Iguodala)

Laimbeer - you need to change Sefolosha as well.

Going back to discussions about types of players being overrated/underrated, etc. I was thinking that it's worth noting that based on my opinion of Durant (excellent only when used in the context of a super-team as the non-alpha), Dr. P has put him into a really nice position to succeed IMO (and perhaps he may have the most threatening team overall)
