*Rondo
*klay Thompson
*green
*sully
*Cousins
Inside outside monster of a team like a refined version of Memphis, only we have better shooters.
*Rondo is an upgrade over Conley.
*klay is an upgrade over Allen on offense so teams can't over help on our bigs
*green becomes our version of Rudy Gay, an insanely athletic wing scorer who can shoot the 3 and attack the rim when needed. He can defend the other elite small forwards whilst waiting on the three point line in e corner while Thompson roams looking for dishes from Cousins and Sully.
20ppg/ 5 rebounds/5 assists at 9 million a year. Less than half price of Gay.
* Sullinger is a modern Zac Randolph who does all the dirty work and can shoot the 15 footer to draw the opposing PF away from the basket for Rondo and our center to drive or go to work.
Develops his back to basket game and abuses all pf's in the post. His excellent passing in college has translated to the NBA and as soon as opponents try to double him he finds an open Jeff Green or Thompson for an easy three.
* Cousins is our Marc Gasol. Doc has taught him he doesn't necessarily have to score to be the best big man in the NBA but his length, strength, footwork and passing ability make him a triple threat. He can score on anyone 1v1 and he's grown up after realizing he can't win a championship nor win without the help of his teammates.
Combined with Sullinger he can stretch his defender to the elbow and leave the paint open for Green, Rondo and Sully to do their thing when we need to attack.
Sully and Cousins become the best rebounding tandem in the NBA.
Focused on defense to compete with bulls, heat and thunder for next 5 years.
Had a post on how to acquire Cousins here t didn't garner any interest, take a look and tell me what you think
