I think you missed something important. Not possible to build something like this in one offseason. More about the perfect blue print for a Luka lead roster under the current cap rules. Two high volume/efficiency 3-point shooters (combine for 40m). In a perfect world both can defend or have some playmaking ability. One max player that can run the offense as the main ballhandler, can play the two-man game with Luka, can defend. Cheap defensive minded big that can set screens and do the dirty work.
 
40m for two wings + 70m for two max guys (Luka + x) + cheap big. Exceptions, rookie contracts and vet mins to fill out the bench.

I picked Simmons because I really like his fit next to Luka. Also because some 76ers fans and according to the rumors also some guys in the front office aren´t happy with him. They want a real PG with better half court creation. The 76ers are building around Embiid and even though they had more success it´s still a questionable fit. When Embiid is getting the ball in the paint (that´s what they are trying to do) Simmons has no role on offense. I think Simmons leaving Philly in a trade for a PG (Lillard?) is one of the more likely scenarios. Maybe not this year but within the next 2-3 years.
Mavs obviously lack assets right now but after the draft they could offer a decent package of picks, pick swaps and the more valuable role players (Brunson, DFS, Kleber).

Also, any starting team with Luka that includes the word “perfect” does not have THJ in it. I’m out and about right now, but When I get home I’ll come up with a much more realistic and “perfect” Luka lead team.

More about the skill set they offer. Can easily replace them with guys that do similar things. Maybe it is a rookie that isn´t even in the league right now. But please entertain me with your much more realistic and "perfect" team. You obviously are the smartest guy in the room and other opinions aren´t valid.

Draft day 2022. KP and 3 FRP’s for Jokic after he demands a trade to Dallas

Needs to go now option:
KP, Brunson, Green for Jaylen Brown and bad contract

Best 2 players we could hope for: 
KP, Brunson, Green for Brogdon and Turner

Best possible option: 
KP for Kawhi in a sign and trade

(06-05-2021, 06:06 PM)dirkfansince1998 Wrote: @"ItsGoTime". Let me say it like this. Even if you spend all available cap on the starting five it´s not enough to pay five max players. Three max players and cheap role players. Two max players and two good starters  (20m each). One max player and a deeper roster. Of course I would prefer some of the mentioned names but getting the perfect two-way player for every single position is nearly impossible.

Prototype: *Kawhi Leonard, but more realistic Robert Covington
Other examples: *Jaylen Brown, OG Anunoby, *Jerami Grant to name a few

And there may be some possible ways to get him. Grant is 27, doesn't really fit the time line for Detroit. He'd be the main guy manning the fort until they Pistons get better. And they won't be after a long while. What's the difference between a 25 year old oft injured primary option? Grant is who he is, but KP still holds promise, if anything, barring injuries, Detroit might yet build up his value being the number 1 option,  scoring 25PPG albeit in losing seasons. Now if KP gets injured or wants to diva-it-out, then their picks will only get higher.
