To being a championship team ?
What do you feel we need to do in order to being catapulted into the upper echelon teams in the next couple of years ?
I feel that we are relatively set with the PG and SF positions.
But after that we really aren't all that close ( or that far away ) from being a legitimate contender. I see Landry as a great backup PF assuming we resign him, and I think a big part of this teams success will be on whether Thompson can figure it out at either the PF or C positions. This would solidify us in one more position, but for the sake of this thread I'm going to assume it will be the PF position.
I feel we have glaring needs in both the SG and C positions. I'm not sure Garcia can be that guy next to Tyreke, but is a solid replacement off the bench. I'm not too big or low on Hawes, but feel we need to make a move for another center.
So if Cousins falls and we select him I can see this team contending with the following.
PG - Evans, Udrih
SG - ------, Garcia
SF - Greene, Casspi
PF - Thompson, Landry
C - Cousins, Hawes
--- = Free Agent
But I also think this can be a good line-up :
We trade our #5 and #33 to Memphis for Thabeet and pick #28.
PG - Evans, Udrih
SG - Bledsoe*, Garcia
SF - Greene, Casspi
PF - Thompson, Landry
C - Thabeet, Hawes
* = Draft a shooting guard with #25 or #28
I am young and consider myself a student of the game, not a teacher, so obviously I'm asking a lot of questions and my lineups are probably not even near a championship team. I also couldn't even find someone in Free Agency to put as a SG because of my ignorance on who would be a good fit with our other players, but thats what I made this thread for Other more knowledgeable fans opinions. I am sure there are plenty of options with Love/Jefferson and other trade scenarios.
Also I didn't see a thread like this anywhere else or know exactly where to have posted it, so mods feel free to move or delete if there is already a thread similar to this around. Hopefully this thread doesn't die too quickly but I killed some time and had some fun typing it up, thanks for your time reading all this also
