In terms of roster construction, do we want our two best players (and eventually, two highest paid players?) to be big men? With a pace and space coach?

Well that wouldn't be for another 4 years.

I'm the biggest proponent of not paying a center big money, but the guy is on a rookie contract. You have 4 years to figure out if he's worth keeping or not. And i would not object to paying a center big money if he was truely a difference maker, AND we had at least one good wing player already, and some young talent in the back court.

Golden State had Bogut and David Lee as their highest paid players last year, and i think Iggy was the next highest paid. Doesn't matter that much when you have young guys on rookie/reasonable deals already.
Dallas paid Chandler big money and he made a world of difference for that team. But they had Kidd/Terry/Marion making reasonable money.

Our problem is outside of AD, we have no one making reasonable money, nor do we have anyone really worth a shite. You could almost say Jrue, but considering how much he's sat out, it's not that reasonable.
