To be the Jordan/Pippen with a huge upgrade @ Center with Noah
Can we lure Lebron in 2015 and then Durant in 2016, possibly also Noah in 2016 as well
The Triangle has proven to be effective only when Phil had the TOP dominant players in the league, it cannot get more dominant than that

With that said, we would still need to add talents like Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc, Dennis Rodman, and many great role players that fit together
CA wants to compete now and we cannot guarantee him that next season, best possible thing is if we trade him to a team full of talents already like Houston/Bulls or just about any of these young upcoming teams with young talents and cap room

Then utilizing those picks, our own 2015 pick, and the exemptions from this summer's MLE, to a future Bi Annual Exemption, and vet min development projects
If we can break up our team for bad contracts and picks, (Tyson Chandler) like to OKC, we should look at it
Also unloading Felton and Pablo for 2015's cap space

As for JR Smith and Tim Hardaway JR, and Iman Shumpert, we should look to sell HIGH on any of them

This is a deep draft and I think Phil will look to acquire picks and even undrafted talents to develop

We can go all in in 2015 if we can sign 3 ALL STARS like Miami did or players taking a bit less for the better of the team
However, if we do miss out on the TOP FA's of 2015, I would suggest signing one year deals instead, and going after Durant/Noah

I wonder if Phil signs Darius Morris or maybe takes a run at grieves Vasquez. Morris could be a no risk high reward signing. I think the big moves happen in the summer of 2015.

Very possible, with his love of BIG PG's to defend, hit a wide open 3pter, and make simple passes

However, for Vasquez, I cannot see Toronto letting him go for the 3.2m MLE, not sure if it is a 3 year 5m+ MLE though, if they intend to resign Lowry

Also I think DeAndre Kane would be a great fit, a 4 year senior coming out of this draft
If we do go this route with a BIG PG, I think Ron Harper should be added to our assistant or development coaching gig, and he could also help develop JR and Iman's PG abilities to run the triangle

In addition to adding Fisher/Pippen/Robert Horry/Kukoc and some of the Centers that have flourished as role players, playing a crucial role though that understand the Triangle and has the ability to coach/develop talents
