I'm not going to complain about a roster like this


That roster is not that much better, if at all, than what they have now. The Greens are not missing pieces.

That was the price required and Holiday is a good fit with where I think this roster is headed


It was dumb to agree to a top 6 protection. Just like the Rockets pick protection is dumb.

As for fit, I agree. But 2 top 10 picks for a (small) good defender and secondary ball handler is steep. You really think MCW can't be 80% of that?

Say they draft MCW, they can still get Evans, perhaps only by moving Vasquez. Lopez is still in play to protect Davis and be moved. Asik still becomes available; only now they can use Lopez's great deal as bait. Or dangle the 2015 pick and move Rolo in a separate move for a 3 (Clips were desperate for a 3rd big. Hello Jared Dudley). They still have 2014 pick to use as they want (McBuckets or Gordon or Saric or trade)

MCW/Evans
Evans/Gordon
Dudley/McBuckets
Davis/Anderson
Asik

Plus, likely a little more cap space to help round out the roster and likely attractive trade assets for a few years in McBuckets/MCW if a star guy wants out.

I think Evans goes to Detroit in that scenario and we keep Vasquez who starts and empty stats his way to a starter level contract $8 million per year.

I also have zero belief in MCW. I think his ceiling is a John Wall/Rondo type, but I don't think he'll get there which makes him a defensive guard which means he'd never be more than an MLE level role playing starter.

I don't think the lineup you posted is better than the one I posted. But the bottom line is that this team goes as far as AD can take it and the important thing is to not surround him with players or coaches that get in his way. So all this arguing is fun but kind of moot and it's all on AD and whoever is the coach after Monty's contract is up (and that coach could still be Monty)
