Post#1 » by fatlever » Sat May 11, 2019 11:13 pm

inspired by
Read on Twitter


but felt some $ values were off, so i reworked them. Make it harder.

$15 to spend on starting 5, based on a single year with Hornets (not cumulative or career outside of Charlotte)

$5 -> Kemba, Rice, LJ, Mourning
$4 -> Baron, Wallace, Mashburn, Mason, Jefferson, E Jones
$3 -> Bogues, Curry, Richardson, S Jackson, Gill
$2 -> Divac, Okafor, Tripucka, Henderson, Felton, Augustin, Hawkins, Wesley, Phils, Coleman, PJ Brown, Diaw, Howard, Campbell
$1 -> everyone else

Bogues, Richardson, Wallace, Mason, Divac

I tried it first with LJ & Hawkins, but it works better above IMHO. Before that I wanted to fit Kemba in, but it was too hard to get him and a good PF IMHO.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Rice was a damn assassin that one year. Lord knows what he'd do in todays NBA. Had to include him.

Don't blame you on Rice. Loved watching him play here. You are definitely correct about how he would do today.

This was tough. The $3 tier didn't seem much better than $2 tier imo, I liked the value and depth in the $2 tier so I leaned on that.

PG: Baron $4
SG: Hawkins $2
SF: Rice $5
PF: PJ Brown $2
C: Divac $2

I think this lineup could do well in 2019. Two legit stars, both our wings are great from deep, both our bigs are willing passers who play solid defense and rebound well. Divas was one of the GOAT passers at C, which is another wrinkle I like.

If Captain Jack had been in the $2 tier I would probably swap him in and drop PJ, then run with a small-ball lineup where S-Jax or Rice is the PF. The passing and shooting ability of a Baron/Hawkins/Rice/S-Jax/Divac lineup would be a thing of beauty.

PG: 16-17 Kemba Walker ($5) --- 23/6/4/1/0 on 44/40/85 splits
SG: 94-95 Hersey Hawkins ($2) -- 14/4/3/2/0 on 48/44/87 splits
SF: 96-97 Glen Rice ($5) ---------- 27/4/2/1/0 on 48/47/87 splits
PF: 15-16 Marvin Williams ($1) -- 12/6/1/1/1 on 45/40/83 splits
CE: 96-97 Vlade Divac ($2) ------- 13/9/4/1/2 and 49% from the floor

That's four guys shooting 40% from deep and one of the best passing big men in the game.

Ah just realized OP changed values. This blows my team up. I’ll rework it. But that would’ve been a great team.

I really liked your setup so after I failed to come up with a Kemba/LJ team that fit as well as I wanted I pivoted to a similar Kemba/Rice team.

PG: Kemba Walker - 16/17 ($5) -- 23/4/6/1/0 on 44/40/85
SG: Raja Bell - 08/09 ($1) -------- 13/4/3/1/0 on 44/40/88
SF: Glen Rice - 96/97 ($5) -------- 27/4/2/1/0 on 48/47*/87
PF: Boris Diaw - 08/09 ($2) ------- 15/6/5/1/1 on 50/42/69
C: Vlade Divac - 96/97 ($2) ------ 13/9/4/1/2 on 49/23*/68

I went with Raja Bell at SG because I felt hed be better in a 3&D role (shot 40% from the real 3pt distance, was all-NBA defense the two previous years, and has better size) and I used the point I saved choosing him over Hawkins to pick skinny Diaw and roll the dice on him not getting fat playing for a really good team. I also kind of just wanted to troll everyone and see their reactions when I picked Diaw lol.

* - shortened 3pt line
