pg: Rajon Rondo/Nate Robinson/Carlos Arroyo sg: James Harden/Von Wafer/Etwaun Moore/Avery Bradley sf: Paul Pierce/Brandon Roy/Sasha Pavolvic pf: Lamarcus Aldridge/Nenad Kristic/Troy Murphy C: Serge Ibaka/Jermaine O'neal
I rebuild the team around durant through trades that will definitely help the thunder to win the championship. PG- Ray Felton SG- Ray Allen SF- Kevin Durant PF- Kevin Garnett C - Kendrick Perkins Bench: Thabo Sefolosha Glen Davis Nic Batum Delonte West Aldrich, Cole Cook, Daequan Ivey, Royal Jackson, Reggie Mullens, Byron Addition: Raymond Felton, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Glen Davis, Nic Batum, Delonte West Subtraction: Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Mohammed, Collision, Maynor I traded westbrook for a decent pass-first point guard who can shoot/slash and a low post defender/ scorer Kevin Garnett. We all know that no one can stop durant at this point of his career and having that consistent outside threat around him is deadly. Perkins is known for his D toughness around the post, so defense isn't really a problem. Durant surrounded by veterans will be the easiest way to win a championship. Although it's tough to trade young stars like westbrook, harden and Ibaka. The bench isn't bad at all. Sefolosha, Nic Batum and glen davis will give the thunder depth and spark off the bench . This team will be in Howard Sweepstakes in 2012 Expiring contracts: 2011 - Glen Davis, Delonte West 2012 - Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen Draft Picks: No draft picks traded. Salaries: $63,299,277
Can't give up both harden and Ibaka. I'd probably want to give up Ibaka first. I don't know how salaries could work though.
