Of the two, I'd think we are more likely to go with the Pacers / Grizzlies formula because of the parts we already have.

We can bring in Pekovic to play center, draft Trey Burke as the point, and bring in guys like Martell Webster and/or Dorell Wright to play the 3.


The potential roster-

Burke / Rivers
Gordon / ?
Webster or Wright / Miller
Davis / Anderson
Pekovic / Smith


Vasquez and Lopez would be flipped to pick up other pieces, such as a backup 2 if Rivers is going to be a point rather than a 2 going forward.


If we move on from Gordon, we could potentially bring in someone like JJ Reddick, who is an incredible shooter even if he can't create his own shots.

The offense would run the pick-and-roll / pick-and-pop through Burke and Davis. Pekovic's ability to score in the low post would make him a threat as an outlet while the outside shooting of Redick and Webster / Wright makes them a threat from behind the arc.


Sound reasonable?

That would be a pretty ideal offseason in my mind. Pekovic, Burke, Webster would be spectacular.

However, Pek IS an RFA, so we would probably have to ship something off to get him.

Flip Saunders was on the radio this morning and made it pretty clear they were not doing anything with Love, as some have speculated.
