    I can't left out KD, you're asking for the best possible team so...

    Beverley/Llull/Jet
    Harden/Gentile (BAE?)
    Durant/Ariza
    Horford/Beasley/Harrell
    Capela/MLE

    or

    Beverley/Llull/Jet
    Harden/MLE
    Durant/KJ
    Horford/Beasley/Harrell
    Capela/D.Mo/BAE (Nene?)

    For like the 5th season in a row someone has been brought in to replace Beverly as the starter and year after year after year he outplays them. Gotta respect him.

    not only that, but after playing out of position for most of his career, and now being at the end of his prime, he doesnt wanna be the starting center for his new team.

    Yep, i agree, he can play center in today's nba, especially in a small ball lineup, but he's a power forward, especially now since he can also shot from outside. He was also tired to play center a couple of years ago, not sure if he changed his mind, but i don't think so.

    If those PGs don't have ball in hand, then they would not be as good as Beverly.

    Trade for: PJ Tucker, Darren Collison, and Omri Casspi
    Free agent signings: Al Horford (max), Pau Gasol ($7.77M player option), Jared Dudley (wants 3-year deal; paid $4.375M this year)
    Buyout: Alessandro Gentile

    There's some wiggle room to add players with a projected $92M cap.

    3-Pt Field Goal Pct (Regular Season 2015-16)
    #7 Jared Dudley ▪ WAS .420
    #12 Omri Casspi ▪ SAC .409
    #17 Darren Collison ▪ SAC .401
    #18 Patrick Beverley ▪ HOU .400
    #62 James Harden ▪ HOU .359
    #81 Al Horford ▪ HOU .344

    2016-17
    Beverley ($6M) / Collison ($5.23M)
    Harden ($16.8M) / Gentile ($?)
    Tucker ($5.3M) / Casspi ($2.96M)
    Horford (max) / Dudley ($?) / Harrell ($1.05M)
    Gasol (?) / Capela ($1.3M)

    I feel like if we somehow just merged the entire Hawks team with Harden we'd be pretty set

    We got room for 2 max contracts?

    Ariza + 2nd + future first for Teague (even money)
    sign Durant and Whiteside to max deals
    Turn Brewer contract into Courtney Lee...

    Teague/Bev/Goud
    Harden/Lee/KJ
    Durant/Lee/Deck
    Beas/Harrell
    Whiteside/Capella

    I presume that maxs the cap space other than some mins, or else I'd keep DMo too..

    So the Grizzlies are pretty much falling apart, any chance we could nab Gasol? I'd much rather have him than Conley.
