With Billups gone, I guess I'll take the 90s version of him in Terry Porter

Now that the offensive foundation has been laid, time to get a well fitting role player in here. I also want to get in front of the run for role players for once, so here we go.

Andre Iguodala. Great defender and Finals MVP, comfortable in an up tempo offense, and can serve as a secondary hub in the offense.

Hawk Eye left me his list.

He selects Shane Battier.

Welp. Since I got sniped on Cooper I guess I'll go with another elite 80's player.

One of my favorite players of all-time, another very high IQ player on my team.

Tracy McGrady! An amazing talent who was never really wired to be a leader of a great team. Magic's got that covered. T-MAC will be option 1B in an offense lead by the best conductor in league history.

Looks like I need to bolster my defence to keep up with some of these teams. Give me Alonzo Mourning

Give me Nate McMillan. With Shaq, Kobe, and McHale, I need to save some FGA and need a PG who just won't make mistakes, knock down open looks, and play tough defense.

This guy ticks 3 boxes for me: he's a good backcourt complement for Payton, gets one of my 80s picks out of the way, and provides another defensive beast to combat some of the high-powered teams being constructed so far.

Didn't plan to go this way, but scanned the list twice and still don't see this guy's name. He and Ben will provide some stellar D and get up and down the floor with Nash and Doc.

Anthony Davis

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Probably not the best idea for my FGA wallet, but who can pinch pennies at a time like this...
