    I don't mind that big combo, no true center, but enough size and rim protection to make it work defensively, IMO. Offensively it's a great combo, since Ibaka will move out of the way and let Aldridge have space. Great spacing overall. Offense should be very good.

    I would've preferred a defender/shooter instead of Ray Allen. Overall defense isn't bad. There's Ibaka, and Holiday can guard either guard spot. But it's probably below average in this draft.

    Overall, looking at this team I get a feeling that the plan was to save some money and then use it later when everyone's at the cap, only all targets were picked and there was nowhere to spend the money. You passed on bigger but more expensive talents with many of your picks.

    You have a good Grizzlies thing going there. Maybe want to go all-in? Jvu offered me Tony Allen, so how about we do a 3 team, you get Conley - Allen, I get Harden and Bledsoe? :p

    Conley, Tony Allen, Gay, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, now that's a team!

    I like this team, solid shooting, good rebounding. It looks like a grindy half court team, not what Bledsoe and Harden are used to this year, but I think it works.

    Defense, it's not great, ZBO in particular isn't having a good year defensively. Harden. It's below average on that end, I guess. Good talented team overall though.

    I'd amnesty Biyombo and get a 3pt shooting SF. There are still a few solid ones undrafted. Move Tobias to the bench.

    Tobias is a fine player but I don't like him at SF for you. You have 1 reliable 3pt shooter in that lineup, and you have a lot of people who need room to drive or post up.

    I like the rest of that team a lot, but it needs more shooting at SF to work.

    You mean you aren't a hot girl? Come on. Have more confidence, woman. I'm sure you aren't that ugly.

    A great offensive team. Cousins is a monster center on pick and roll, Lawson is a very good PnR point guard. Then Dirk. Both bigs can pass. Good shooting. Thad and Allen are both good athletic cutters.

    It's hard to defend against that.

    Btw, you had the right idea with that Conley-Redick for Lawson-Allen deal, that make this offense completely insane, since Conley is an even better PnR point and Redick can shoot and operate PnR as well. Obviously I wouldn't do that, but yeah, that was a great idea.

    A great offensive team as it is. Defensively it will have some problems though. No rim protection.

    If YSL doesn't come back, we are in a bit of a pickle. He drafted George Hill and now he's over cap. So I don't know. It would be a shame to just disqualify him for that. Maybe we should remove a player for him. But would he amnesty Hill? Or someone else?

    Hopefully he comes back.

    Good looking dfb. Good analysis. While i have searched for a dn3 guard/sf at first for the 2, the options were slim and i felt i needed a clutch shooter as i felt that i liked that second most.

    What's your view on Ariza. Because he is solid imo. Really good d and had been stroking this year.

    I would rather just amnesty for someone if I am allowed to amnesty yet.

    You wouldnt want to give up Kawhi I'm sure, and the dude i want is playing better than shumpert

    Yep, Ariza has been good for over a year now, solid D, good 3pt shooting, much better shot selection than when he was in Houston or New Orleans. Still he takes some really bad shots. If he just focused mostly on corner 3s, baseline drives and D, and only took other shots if wide open, he'd be even better.
    A nice role player.

    I'll take Brandon Knight with my last pick.

    I'm going off soon.

    YSL -- if you get online and want to move George Hill to get under cap, then Brandon Knight for Hill is an official offer on my part.

    Lol I'm not a girl... Anyway thanks that's why I took Larry Saunders to help. It's not always about defense either that's why my main focus was offense this draft.
