I would put KT in the ugly category because his game is very ugly for a PF. How can rose not be on a championship calibur team after all he did win a championship.
Crawford Taylor (bad contract but GOOD player) Houston Butler
Bad
K.Thomas (don't need him ,we can't win with him being our starter AND he will be a starter if doesn't leave) M.Rose (don't need him) T.Thomas (he has proved that he can't average 17/6) P.Hardaway (bad attitude, bad contract)

who can be part of a championship level team, and who can't?
Seems reasonable. There's no reason a player with Jamal's or TT's skills shoud be getting fewer than 7 free throw attempts a game, but I think neither of them gets even half of that. Craw at least gets steals and an adequate # of rebounds.

let's make the playoffs first and then talk championship.
you know what's funny? if you sit and look at the names djsunyc listed, neither of these guys play any defense.
how can you not have one single good defensive player on your team?
seriously, outside of malik (role player), ariza (raw) and jyd (who can only do it in spurts), who else is a good on the ball defender? it's pretty sad. there are players here that could function as a good team defensive unit BUT that's where the big man down low comes into play.
in the q&a, isiah said this team would play more defense and more hungry next season. someone asked how can you make players that don't have it in them to all of the sudden play defense, and he danced around the answer and said something like just wait and see.
