My ideal would be:

Conley 4yr $80m, BUT it is highly unlikely he leaves Memphis.

So maybe:

Brandon Jennings 4yr $60M

Evan Turner 3yr $30M

Jeff Green 3yr $30M

we can go over the cap to re-sign Galloway and Lance to ~$5M a year deals, I believe.
I'd let Seraphin go, let Amundson go, try to move KOQ to get more cap room, try to sign Hernangomez

Lineup:

Brandon Jennings / Grant / Calderon (I want to keep Jose as a coach on the floor type, he's a good presence)
Evan Turner / Galloway / it'd be nice to get a SG in the second round somehow
Melo / Jeff Green
KP / Lance Thomas / another PF somehow, maybe keep Amundson
Rolo / Hernangomez / maybe Bachynski from the d-league

You would give Jennings 60 millions for 3 years???

4yr $60M

MCW would be so terrible in this offense. Grant would be better. Wroten would be better.

They literally quote Stan Van Gundy saying the rumor is complete bull ****.

I don't think they'll trade him. I think he will be a free agent who Detroit will try to keep, but I think he'll want to be a starter. Just my opinion. But I think for this season, Detroit needs Jennings a lot more than Thad.

Rose/Galloway/grant/Afflalo
KP/D Williams/Lance
Durant/Portis
Lopez

This roster would make me forget Melo)

If D Wilkiams or Agflalo don't resign then securing services of Durant more likely

I think they'll look to trade him and of course SVG is gonna say they're not looking to trade him just in case they can't trade him they don't want him thinking they were trying. Wouldn't it be great if the Nets do trade for him and then we sign him in the off season??

B.Jennings or R.Rondo--4 yrs $60 mil
E.Turner--3 yrs $30 mil
Marvin Williams--3 yrs $27/$30 mil or i'd sign J.Noah--3 yrs $21/$24 mil

So obviously what i want for this team is of course a legit point guard, a shooting guard and a big man that can do what KOQ doesn't do which is play defense and rebound the ball and whatever offense that big man has is a plus.

the only player who fits the team is evan turner. jennings and grant don't, and besides they don't seem like high character people.

I'd start by dealing Jose Calderon, Cleanthony Early, Kyle O'Quinn and cash incentives to the Clippers for Lance Stephenson's expirer and CJ Wilcox. The primary goal of the deal would be to push our available cap to $54 million. The secondary goal would be to see if Stephenson can be a credible rotation player and help us with a playoff push.

My first offseason move would be to deal Kristaps Porzingis, Jerian Grant, CJ Wilcox and the rights to Willie Hernangomez for Anthony Davis. The Pelicans should rebuild and who better than an emerging superstar on the 2nd year of his rookie contract? I think this will have legs by the time Dell Demps is fired. That should leave us with $45 million in cap space.

I'd then approach Al Horford in free agency and guage his interest in becoming a running-mate of Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony. I'd frontload the deal to offset his declining production at $25 million per for max years (which I think is 4). Should he accept, I'd then try to engage the Hawks in a sign and trade where we send back Robin Lopez, to help stymie the impact of Horford's new contract on my cap space. If successful, we'd only be paying $11 million for Horford's services, in effect, which would be a bargain. Cap would stand at $34 million.

With that $34 million, I'd pursue Demarr Derozan on a 4-year/$85 million deal. I know that he is good friends with Lowry but could he turn down the opportunity to join a looming contender? If not, our cap would stand at $13 million.

With that remaining money, I'd:
1.) Re-sign Derrick Williams to a 4-year/$40 million deal ($10 million per)
2.) Sign Nene to a one-year $3 million deal.
3.) Use my Bird Rights to re-sign Lance Thomas to a 3-year/$20 million deal ($7 million per)
4.) Use my mini-mid level exception to sign Mario Chalmers to a one-and-one deal ($5-$6 million per).
5.) Sign Eric Gordon to a league minimum deal to be a 6th man off the bench.
6.) Re-sign Lou Amundson to a lower level exception.
