Whether he is allowed to is a different story
i think this team is set up better to have 4 to 5 top 15-30 players and figure out how to use all of them to the best of their abilities in order to win it all. We have three of those guys right now in dd, lowry and jv. The tricky part is going to be bringing that 4th guy in but considering our assets and our GM its definitely possible.
kinda like detroit from 04-08. None of sheed, big ben, chauncey or rip were considered First class superstars (even though Chauncey had the advanced stats of one, kind of like Kyle), but they were all stars and top players in the league and Larry Brown figured out how to get them playing together so effectively that they were able to take down teams with superstar talent.

*Probably in the tier just below that. And probably so was Billups. Right now I think Lowry is the only guy we have in that tier. And Jonas I think showed he can be too. DeMar isn't quite there IMO, but we know at least a couple posters here will disagree with that.Last edited by white men can't jump; Sun May 22, 2016, 04:47 PM.

Remember, Masai's plan last summer was for us to have a starting frontcourt of JV and Aldridge. How good would that frontcourt have been, given JV's growth this year?

I would only trade JV for a
top 2 pick (simmons/ingram) in this year's draft.
Or a young all-star player (Butler, Cousins,Griffin)
or a very good AS player + a mid first (Milsap+Hawks 1st 2016)
Might be overratting JV a bit but we have him locked up on a good contact, no one I trade him unless it makes us instant contenders or puts in in a position to contend next year
with all that being said do you think the lakers give us the 2nd pick for
Ross + Patterson + Delon + Bruno + NYK pick, Clippers pick, Our 2017 firstAbbas wrote:

If we're making a move for an early pick, it needs to be part of a rebuild, not a 'win now' move.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Ross and PPat are role players. Delon and Bruno haven't proven anything. Clippers pick and our pick will be mid twenties most likely.
NYK pick is the only enticing piece but they're not giving up #2 for that.

I guess if he does play, he'd come off the bench? Or at least, I'd hope so. Let Biz ride that momentum from last game..."Stop eating your sushi."

Just noticed Aldridge's name in the thread....he should have picked the Raptors....would have been a quicker path to the Finals with him here than with the Spurs. Haha.
I think we would have had at least an even chance to beat the Cavs and Lebron.
