My offseason grades.  

If there are no major trades (including KP) then the goal should be to get two starters to replace JRich/THJ and Maxi.  Most scenarios involve operating under the cap with 34 in space.  In most cases the main choice will start roughly in low 20s to provide enough cap for second player (in parentheses) to outbid the MLE teams.  The second player is who I think fits best with the first.

Kawhi  A+
Ball (Green)  A
Conley (Noel)  A-
Collins (Jackson) B+
Powell (Batum)  B
Lowry (Noel) B-
DeRozan (Green) C+
Fournier (Green) C
THJ (Batum) C-
Dinwiddie (Barton) D

I like this way of looking at it.  Too many combinations to account for all of them.  It looks like your grades are based heavily on the talent of the #1 target.

Are there any other guys similar to what you are envisioning Noel to be?  Theis?  

Is there a second option that makes Graham as the first option (at less money than the other #1’s) that gets you anything above a C?

If you got Ball or Conley and then traded for Oubre using JRich, is Oubre so bad that he drags down Ball to a C?  Same question with Dinwiddie as the second acquisition instead of the first.

Is there a fit for Holmes with KP here still or does that only work if KP is traded.
