Kemba Walker- Grieves Vasquez- Spencer Dinwiddie(45th)
Gordon Hayward(FA)- Gerald Henderson- Gary Neal
MKG- Cleanthony Early(24th)-Jeff Taylor
Aaron Gordon(9)- Cody Zeller
Big Al- Biz- Haywood
Give Hayward around 4 year 36 million. Grieves 3 year 12 million.

Kemba/Sessions/LaVine
Hairston/LaVine/Neal
MKG/Hendo/Taylor
Monroe/Zeller/Adrien
Big AL/Biyombo
Hopefully Hairston can take the starting spot from Henderson by season end

1) Draft McDermott for the Suns #14 + #18 pick
2) Select Zach LaVine with pick 14 + Ryan Anderson with pick 18
3) Trade Gary Neal + pick 24 to the Magic for Arron Afflalo (2 years to develop LaVine)
4) Sign Luol Deng for 2 years (2 years to develop MKG)
PG-Kemba Walker/Zach LaVine/FA
SG-Arron Afflalo/Gerald Henderson/Zach LaVine
SF-Luol Deng/Michael Kidd-Gilchrist/Jeffrey Taylor
PF-Cody Zeller/Ryan Anderson/FA
C-Al Jefferson/Bismack Biyombo

I think you mean Kyle Anderson and I am not a fan of this. Still stuck with Henderson and spent way to much on Deng and AA both. Would rather stay at 9 pick a starter and save on one of AA or Deng. Then sign a starting caliber PF. For all the development you are talking about you decided to start our worst young player here.

Why was I thinking Ryan Anderson? WTF.
We'd be developing LaVine for SG, MKG for SF, Cody Zeller for PF, Ryan Anderson for PF and Biyombo for C.
That's 5 guys not including Kemba and he has plenty of drive to develop further!!! 6 guys!
Then we'd have 3 win-now guys in Afflalo + Deng + Jefferson, not including Kemba. 4 guys!
That's a nice 60/40 split imo.
It will never happen but it's fun.
fatlever wrote:conservative approach
draft mcdermott @ 9
trade henderson + 24, 45 to orlando for afflalo (or henderson + lottery protected 2015 1st)
sign vasquez 3y/15mil
sign mcroberts 3y/14mil
sign ed davis (not really sure how much he would cost, but if reasonable would be good fit)
fill out rest of roster with 1y deals - ideally a young defensive pg and a 3pt shooting sg.
pg: kemba/vasquez/cheap fa
sg: afflalo/neal/cheap fa
sf: mkg/mcdermott/taylor
pf: mcroberts/zeller/davis
c: jefferson/biyombo/haywood
outside shooting, backup pg and bench scoring is greatly improved.

Sign Shawn Livingston. Love that dude. Play him with Kemba on occassion guarding the 2 on D.
Sign Melo, use Jordan Brand influence. I want a scorer who can score anywhere on the floor and hit 3s if needed. Screw Defense.
Trade the 9 + 45 to Boston for the 6 + Gerald Wallace's contract. Allow him to come to peace with Charlotte and have his number retired as the only Bobcat number to be retired ever. Also somehow convince Gerald to retire after playing one game as a Hornet.
Trade the 6 + 24 + MKG + Hendo to Philly for the 3. Hendo goes home, Philly gets talent and more picks. Select Wiggins.
Bring Back McBob
10 man rotation of:
PG: Kemba / Livingston
SG: Wiggins / Neal
SF: Melo / JT
PF: McBob / Zeller
C: Al / Biz
Yeah, not doable. But I can dream.

9 + 45 for 6 + Wallace wouldn't even work salary wise if we wanted Melo. Your MKG trade is like the only possible scenario in which I'd trade MKG and not hate myself.
