    Or even better:

    6'10 Simmons
    6'5 Thybulle
    6'8 AG
    6'10 Wood
    7'0 Bamba

    AG and Wood oldest at just 25. 7'0+ wingspan for each starter.

    Getting closer to positionless basketball.

    CLE: John Wall
    WAS: Russ Westbrook
    HOU: Andre Drummond, Larry Nance jr + Cavs FRP + Wiz FRP

    6'5 Harden
    6'3 EGo
    6'7 Nance
    6'10 Wood
    6'11 Drummond

    Wood's D rating was at it's best when he played next to Drummond. Drummond is best rebounder in NBA, led NBA 5 times. Also top 10 in steals AND blocks.

    Every starter can put ball on floor and attack the rim.

    Drummond is 2nd best passer on this team. Nance also underrated passer.

    Why would the Cavs do this though?

    Can you guys imagine a 4/5 PnR with Aaron Gordon and Wood??

    Basically JSmoove-Dwight, except the center can shoot and has handles. That would be a ton of fun.

    Another idea

    Houston In: Aaron Gordon, Derrick Rose
    Orlando In: Westbrook
    Detroit In: Fultz, Pick

    Smaller salaries included to make the numbers work.

    Gordon / Rose
    Harden / McLemore or Brown
    House / Nwaba
    Gordon / Tucker
    Wood / Cousins

    Get rid of the ISO as our primary offensive system and add more ball movement. There’s a lot of skill in this lineup.
