TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

The lineup that would win the title this season:

Luka
SD
DFS
Collins
Wood

Collins can as Wood and SD, penetrate attack and finish around the rim. Which takes away any doubling of Luka. They can all shoot as well. Luka would have 3 players around the him to act as the outlets in case of passing, and it would prove deadly inefficient for opponents to double Luka. We see already now with Wood and SD how they lower this efficiency, and this is because they can both shoot but also attack the rim with space. On offense, it adds also more pick and roll options, which Luka loves. On defense, it adds mobility, and ability to play more positions, which Kidds loves. This would be the best lineup in the NBA, and would be one that compliments Lukas skills the most, given the options available.

I think it would make more sense to put Green in that starting lineup and bring Dinwiddie off the bench, and even then I'm not sure its a top 10 defense.  I assume we are sending out Powell and Bullock to make this happen?  I don't think its contention worthy, but it would be interesting.
