Looks pretty solid, I just think if they retain their top 5 pick they'd go for a higher upside guy than Stanely although he's a strong option.

And with their cap flexibility I see them adding one more piece via Free agency but this would be a good start to the rebuild.

I think its better to start ed davis ahead of julius randle because randle isn't ready to start yet and ed would add interior defense.

To JdA: Maybe the Lakers can sign Kris Middleton. though he is a restricted fa, bucks already have Jabari and Giannis at the 3 spot. So there's a good chance his will just let him go. Middleton can fill in the starting 3 position and switch Stanley into a role player considering he can still develop by watching this starters. i'm not saying he's not going to earn minutes, with the abilities he have surely byron will find a way to play him. This move will also give the starters the 3point shooting they don't have, while the role players will be more tougher by adding stanley to them. Would be a great offseason to add Stanley Johnson, Kris Middleton and Greg Monroe. Definitely we'll have a shot for a playoff run with this lineup next season.

PG: Clarkson/Ellington
SG: Bryant/Young
SF: Middleton/S. Johnson
PF: Randle/Davis
C: Monroe/Black

R: Price, Brown, Draick, Kelly, Draick

Thoughts?

Start ed davis so that there will be batter interior defense and randle isn't ready to start yet

5.) 02 Apr 2015
Llol I googled Nicholas aaron young!

6.) 02 Apr 2015
This is realistic. I'd resign Jeremy Lin

7.) 02 Apr 2015
I like it but i'd sign centers: Robin Lopez, Brook Lopez, Deandre or Gasol instead of pf: Monroe. Otherwise we may as well sing Kevin Love

8.) 05 Apr 2015
Standing 6 foot 11 I think Monroe is a Center, a versatile C who can also play the 4 spot. i'm just being realistic here, that we cannot sign Gasol and Deandre Jordan. Very little chance, 1% maybe. :D
