Vucevic is an interesting fit alongside Ibaka and Kyrie. Best defensive PF in the league to help him out defensively. Two jump-shooting bigs to space the floor for Kyrie. Lots of room for Kyrie's dribble drive game.

Fits together nicely.

Interesting trade.

Thomas + Gordon defensively makes me cringe a little bit, especially with Cousins and Dirk protecting the rim.

Temporarily invalid, New Orleans holds 7.11, and not 7.10. Awaiting confirmation from GMs.
I am fine with that.

That was my hesitation with the trade, but I looked at other SG's and wings out there, and I couldn't turn down the value.  I definitely need to pick up a couple of strong wing defenders to balance the team out a bit.

Thank you.  that's what I'm going for -- a team where everyone complements each other well

Looking over the rosters page, there's a lot of good combos and with only 20 teams, just about every team should be better than their real life counterparts.

That's always good in the Pick 2.

Asik is an interesting pick in the second round given Noah is already in Chicago
