Build a team of 13 NBA players + yourself using actual salaries & the cap (but no rookie contracts).
I used salaries from hoopshype.com.

58,680,000 - TOTAL

FOCUS: My focus was defense and having a few players who can play many positions.

Critique my choices AND post your own team.

odom and boozer don't exactly play defense...

my stab at it:

Jose Calderon 7,438,018
Kevin Martin 9,260,335
Caron Butler 8,999,980
David West 9,862,500
Dwight Howard 13,758,000
