Monta Ellis 9m

Al Jefferson
Millsap
Battum

Zbo
David West
Nene

Rudy Gay

Trevor Ariza
Shawn Marion

Now rank them according to their contracts

any chance of grabbing Lebron in 2015
Then both Durant and Noah in 2016, those players would be a the best of both worlds in theory with the correct role players of both the Jordan/Pippen and Kobe/Shaq era
Phil back coaching again with his Triangle Offense and Philosophy in 2016 or helping guide his mentor, while giving him solid assistant coaches and development coaches to work with

There is no hope for LeBron, IMO. It's a different story though for Durant.

LOL. That's really the only thing you can say there.

what else is there? is it his fault that he has been on bad teams? That they cant shoot?

That's because Kevin Love has never had a winning team.

I'd probably flip West with Zbo and Gay with Ariza, but I pretty much agree with this list.

There was some internal debate with West vs Z.Bo. I decided on their final ranking because West is a far better defender; good enough to offset the modest difference of their offensive abilities. I also ranked Ariza ahead of Gay because Ariza understands his role and plays within a team concept. Gay still fancies himself a star and does little more but chuck up bad shots. I hate watching that dude play.

That's because Kevin Love has never had a winning team.

probably because his teams were not good.

Well said. I'm not sure why guys try to hate on the dude.

silly Correlation = Causation people

One thing that can be argued though is his defense. It is weak but I am sure a bit over blown as well.

Touche. I think that KG was the only star of a similar circumstance to escape that kind of criticism. His game was perfect though, so I suppose they didn't have the "but his defense sucks" card to play.

He did up his efficiency (TS).

Minny 54.3
Boston 56.4

That is pretty significant
