Building Around Cooper: A Backward-Looking Thought Experiment

[Smitty]

As far as Cooper, he is easy to build around.   It is common GM speak to say you want smart and tough players.    Although it is true.    Cooper can make a lot of play styles work.   I think the Boston championship team and Cooper's Duke team are prime examples on the perfect build though.   Neither had true point guards but they had 4 guys one the court who could create.   They were physical and tall.    They could shoot.   I think the path is pretty straight forward.  Finding a Robin would help immensely though as you would have the foundation well on its way.

Sounds like AJ Dybantsa music to me. Sign me up.  
Interesting though that you bring up no true point guards, and all 4 guys being physical and tall with Duke and Boston. So, would you be in favor of trading Kyrie for someone that better fits your ideal fit with Cooper?
