On Chicago, Jordan, Pippen, Kukoch were all versatile players that played inside out.
With bigs like Brian Williams, Cartright/Horace Grant, able to hit the 12 footer and post up.
And of course the sharp shooters to spread the floor as well, with Kerr, Paxon, BJ Armstrong.
Good defensive specialist like Ron Harper *playing on Bulls and Lakers* and Rodman

On Lakers, Shaq *inside post to go inside out*
Kobe *mid post*
Robert Horry did a lot of the dirty work, spread the floor as well, and also played the high low. AC Green also did a lot of the dirty work 1 year.
Gasol and Bynum *both post up players with Gasol having guard skills*

Ariza/Odom anchored that 2nd unit with their defense, length, and athleticism as the defense specialist, changing tempos, and creating mismatches.

We saw TC and Amare fight for post position on many occasions, as it leads to the defense collapsing and easy shots.
Woodson did this, with some great ball movement, and a mixture of Melo ISO plays when he first took over, I don't know why they stopped in the playoffs.
Is it the players or is it the coach, that went back to the stagnent "watch Melo go 1v1 mode"
TC also has to have the confidence to knock down that 12 footer and establish himself as a threat.

We are simply OVER POWERED by Miami, we need to solidify the make up of our team, with mainly veteran minimum players, praying players will come back at a lower deal, and if a team will do us a favor by offering Lin a contract, in which we can just match, rather than using our MLE to retain him.
We need to assemble a team, with the ability to defend teams like Heat, OKC, Lakers, Spurs, Chicago, Dallas *depending on who they acquire*, will all likely be back as contenders

Whoever is on our roster needs to develop and work hard in the summer, but we need to give them an idea of what role they will be playing.
For instance, Fields worked on his handle this summer and improved his penetration, thinking Billups, TD, Shawne Williams were going to spread the floor out for him....

If Amare is going to be a starter or play a 6th man (Ginobili type role at center) being the alpha dog of the 2nd unit

Is Melo going to play more PF next year?

What will be out defense core, with Iman unlikely to work on his game this summer, needing time to get back in shape, as well.
We needed to add a player or 2 to compliment Iman/TC defensive intensity, now we just took a big step backwards...

Unfortunately, we really need to see who will come at a discount AGAIN, Grunweld will have to pull some magic out of his ass again.

Realistically we need to add a MLE worthy candidate to this roster if we somehow don't have to use it on Lin
KG, Dragic, Sessions

Vet Minimum candidates include

Back up PG that can actually penetrate, defend, and hit a shot, G/F that can play some limited minutes with the defensive mindset to defend the Wade/Lebrons/ OKC stars
Gaines, Pietrus, Delonte West, Deshawn Stevenson

The athletic PF that can play defense that Amare will never be able to do
Hickson, Reggie Evans, Kenyon Martin

Shooters/6th type role assuming JR and Novak are gone
Redd, Kapano, Anthony Parker, Tmac, WIllie Green

Biannual exemption

Shannon Brown, AK47, Camby, Novak?, Terry, Ray Allen, Billups, Josh Howard, Odom

We need a shot blocking presence to play with and behind TC
Omar Osik, Hiddayi, Greg Stiemsma, basically a Chris Anderson type role....

To play with TC
basically a Taj Gibson/Ak47 type role, hopefully Iman can contribute at 80% by the playoffs, its just unfortunate he won't be able to improve with his worth ethic, over this summer.
Add in another G and G/F to contribute to that as well......
