Billups/T. Hardaway/Floyd (one day I hope to have four decades of Golden State point guards on the same squad)
Bird/Hield
AK47/Collins/Favors
Towns/Bosh
Tree/Eaton

I like having a full time efficient 6th man like Buddy.

I wish I had more one time combo forwards like Wood and Chriss.

There are reasons why we’ll falter compared to last season, but overall there are a lot of things I like. Tree, Eaton and AK should gobble up some of the makes Towns gives up. Plenty of boards, assists, blocks and 3s. Hopefully eFG% and perimeter D don’t hold us back
ive never understood the desire to play bird at sg...youre not playing 87-88 at sg are you?

nah that front court is too good...rubio cant do enough damage in 10 mins

ill bet a free team on you finishing top 3 if you want...but thats about all im willing to bet against shaq/zo
Nah, always bet on the field over a podium finish in Savage. Too many variable. I’ll bet a free team on my finish vs your finish? Or anyone else to make things fun.
no not this time...not feeling confident at all

happy to see you and dbkc with some action...always makes it more fun

before the savage 4 draft im gonna set up a pool for owners to enter if their feeling lucky...admin will hold the entry fee(thinking 10 or 20) and pay out the winner at the end

I’ll bet against Hoidal the day Flavor Flav gets elected President of the United States.

Somebody write that down. It may come in handy

That’s just 4 years away at this pace. If he can make it past Kanye and Kid Rock in the primaries, that is.

Rookie
PG - Collison/ Terrell
SG - Pippen/ T-Mac/ Bowen
SF - Bobby Jones/ Nance Jr
PF - Millsap/ Mark West/ Larry Smith
C - Whiteside/ Oliver Miller

There are some issues, but defense shouldn't be one.

Prospect
PG Irving / Alvin Robertson / Cooper
SG Robertson / Battier / Reggie Miller
SF Giannis / Brand / Roundfield
PF Brand / Giannis / Roundfield / Kanter
C George t. Johnson / shawn Bradley / Yao


Quite satisfied with this team.

2 season of giannis not playing SF, i will be playing 100% SF Brand there. The other 3 Giannis seasons, he will be playing SF with Brand PF.
Robertson will help with boards and D from the backourt, he will also play some PG.

I may be light on 3 pointers, since Reggie Miller is not a great defender / rebounder, I plan not to play him for heavy minutes (i was anyway surprised he fell so low in the draft, like 2-3 rounds after ray allen).

I could have had better rebounds from the center spot, hope to survive it from rebounding from other positions and defense from johnson and bradley.

Actually, upon reflection I'll move it down to maybe 4, below Box of Rain, Ripple, and Uncle John's Band. I reserve the right to further revision.

Workinman’s Dead getting its well deserved props
in all the lists. Anthem of the Sun is criminally underrated. The Grateful Dead never get their dues as a studio band.

Hmm. I think each of those players has a place in this league, but do you have enough assists (Whiteside is a glaring black hole in that regard) and enough usage?

Usg, yes. Whiteside, Pippen, Millsap, Terrell are all always 20-28. T-Mac is always high, usually above 30. Collison is usually around 20, Bobby Jones and Nance Jr 16-18. Oliver and West have a couple above 17-19, usually 13-16. Bowen is low, but only gonna use him as a 10MPG guy in one season, have no min planned for Smith.
Ast%, I should be alright as a team. Pip, Collison and Terrell are generally good. Millsap, Nance Jr and Bobby are above-average for their position/Usg. T-Mac is decent. Oliver has some above 10% seasons. I'll always have at least 3 of those guys on the floor.

Position - Name (Starter Count, Backup Count)

PG - Chris Paul (5,0), Clyde Drexler (0,3), Jamaal Tinsley (0,1), Bradley Beal (0,1)
SG - Clyde Drexler (2,3), Bradley Beal (1,4), Ron Harper (1,0), Jamaal Tinsley (1,0)
SF - Horace Grant (3,2), Mason Plumlee (1,3), Chris Webber (1,1)
PF - Shawn Kemp (3,1), Marquese, Chriss (1,0), Mason Plumlee (1,1), Chris Webber (0,3)
C - Andrew Bogut (4,1), Shawn Kemp (1,0), Jusuf Nurkic (0,3), Mason Plumlee (0,1)

Team should be among the best three or so defensive teams and also passing teams. Should be average shooting (that gets propped up by the passing) and slightly above average rebounding. ~420 threes per team. One teams looks to be very bad at turnovers, the other four should be better than average. All five teams are high in fouls.

I'm 100% in agreement on the in studio comment...
of course the Dead are rightly revered as a live band and an expereince to see adn follow, etc.,
but I think their studio material is fine... well done...

also agree on 'Anthem of the Sun' ...

Im a huge Rock history fan/buff, and have a theory that iconic Albums or huge 'peaks' are not always head and shoulders above music produced at other times by the same band (a lot of times yes that is the case)... A lot of that has to do with timing (god and bad) .... often times songs and albums that 'hit big' overwhelm our ability to objectively compare and contrast those big hts or big albums with things done when the band isnt in the lime light.....
