A Few Ideas...errr...Dreams


With the 2012 NBA draft only a week away, I decided to conjure up a few scenarios that could finally turn this team around. I am not normally in the business of making wild conjectures, but the season is over and with nothing but the Lastros to watch, what can I say...I'm bored.

Scenario 1

  1. Resign Dragic, Lee, Bud & Camby
  2. Trade Lowry, Scola and #16 to Charlotte for DJ Augustine, Tyrus Thomas and #2 pick
  3. Try and move Martin as well
  4. Draft C Andre Drummond from UConn #2
  5. Draft SG Jeremy Lamb from UConn #14 (or Terrence Ross if Lamb is gone)

2012 Lineup:

  1. Goran Dragic / DJ Augustine
  2. Kevin Martin / Courtney Lee / Jeremy Lamb
  3. Chandler Parsons / Marcus Morris / Chase Budinger
  4. D-Mo / Patterson / Tyrus Thomas
  5. Andre Drummond / Marcus Camby / Samuel Dalembert

Summary:

Young team (minus Camby). Probably not playoff caliber, but a lot of potential there.

Scenario 2

  1. Sign Deron Williams, Lee, Bud & Camby
  2. Lowry, Scola, Martin, Morris, Greg smith and 14th for Howard and Turk
  3. If we can't convince Dragic to play behind Williams, trade Dalembert for 2nd rounder – draft pg
  4. Draft Terrence Ross or Jeremy Lamb #16

2012 Lineup:

  1. Deron Williams / ?
  2. Courtney Lee / Jeremy Lamb (or Ross)
  3. Chandler Parsons / Bud / Turk
  4. D-mo / Patrick Patterson
  5. Dwight Howard / Marcus Camby

Summary:

Playoff caliber squad. Dwight Howard rental. Possibly make a deep enough playoff run to convince him to stay. If Deron Williams wasn't already enough, go after Josh Smith to further entice D12 to remain a Rocket. If Dwight does leave, build around Deron Williams. If he stays, we chase a championship.

Scenario 3

  1. Sign Deron Williams, Lee, Bud and Camby
  2. Trade Lowry, Morris and Scola for Pau Gasol. Martin and Dalembert for #18 from Minny
  3. Draft Zeller, Ross or Lamb, Marshall

2012 Lineup:

  1. Deron Williams / Kendall Marshall
  2. Courtney Lee / Jeremy Lamb (or Ross)
  3. Chandler Parsons / Chase Budinger
  4. Pau Gasol / D-mo / Patrick Patterson
  5. Marcus Camby/ Tyler Zeller

Summary:

Playoff caliber squad. Good enough team to possibly attract Dwight Howard as a free agent in the offseason.
