What is your dream starting 5 for the 2012-2013 season?

[Thunder]

I was thinking about this year's draft and the potential of next year's and started to get excited. I'd love to get two quality picks this year and a scorer next year. Who would everyone want in our starting 5 in terms of building a core starting this upcoming season? I know I said dream starting 5 but let's make it a bit realistic.

Scenario 1 (we don't get the no. 2 pick this year or D-Will doesn't fall)

2012-2013 Season
C- Enes Kanter
PF- JJ Hickson
SF- Harrison Barnes
SG-Christian Eyenga
PG-Kyrie Irving

Scenario 2 (we somehow nab both Irving and D-Will this year)


2012-2013 Season
C- Not sure!
PF- Derrick Williams
SF- Harrison Barnes (or if we don't suck enough to get him, Michael Gilchrist, P. Jones, or T. Jones)
SG-Christian Eyenga
PG-Kyrie Irving

We'd have a C and PF who I think can average a double double, a scoring SF, a SG who plays D and can shoot, and a pure PG in Irving. A team like this could be great after 2 years or more playing together.

If we're taking about dream lineups then a marc gasol signing would be badass

 

[Kyrieville]

cavs draft Derrick Williams, Kanter, and Harrison Barnes over the next 2 years... then sign CP3 and Dwight

CP3-Barnes-Williams-Kanter-Dwight

 

[ajz20]

Irving Austin Rivers Healthy Greg Oden Kanter Chris Singleton

 

[gratefuldead]

cp3, dwayne wade, carmelo anthony, blake griffin, dwight howard

that's my dream

get it done grant

 

[czvo]

Irving
Gilchrist
Barnes
Kanter
DeAndre Jordan

I was going to say Dwight, but I don't think he'd sign here, and the team won't have the money to nab Marc Gasol. I really think deAndre Jordan could turn himself into a Tyson Chandler type of player. All he'd have to worry about is playing defense and rebounding.

 

[ericerau]

PG - sign Delonte West
SG - sign Deshawn Stevenson
SF - sign JR Smith

We're not supposed to be good next year, so this will give us ample off the court antics to keep us entertained. Plus when we play the heat, good chance there will be a bench clearing brawl...100% chance those three win. Plus it would be awesome marketing, instead of of banners downtown with player's faces, we can have banners of neck tats. There can even be online games, match the neck tat to the player, it will be great.

PF - draft Matthews with our first pick
C - sign Kwame Brown - this way we can show the Center we draft what we don't want to happen. He can be our own poster boy for disappointment and failure.

Assuming we trade JJ Hickson for a 2012 lotto pick, AV for a 2012 lotto pick, and somehow using TPE, Jamison, etc get..yes... another 2012 lotto pick...
so that makes 3 lotto picks in 2012, and our 2 picks this year.....

PG: Kyrie Irving
SG: Austin Rivers
SF: Michael Gilchrist
PF: Jared Sullinger
C: Jonas V.

1st team in NBA history to win NBA title with all rookie starters... (assuming full season lockout)

Replace Sully's frumpy ass with Perry Jones and I think you're onto something.

 

[Snowblind]

PG - Irving
SG - Gilcrhist
SF - Singleton
PF - Williams
C - Jonas

There's no way this can happen, but it would be great.

 

[tedginnjr]

Kyrie Irving
James Harden
Gerald Wallace
Josh Smith
Dwight Howard

 

[Nightperson]

Irving Rivers Miller Hickson Kanter

 

[Damage]

I'll play

Assumptions: We trade Andy to Phoenix for a first round pick in 2012.

BOLD denotes rookie

PG: Kyrie Irving
SG: Brad Beal, SG Florida
SF: Adonis Thomas, SF Memphis
PF: J.J. Hickson
C: Enes Kanter

I think Brad Beal is going to be fucking incredible.

I saw Brad Beal in the All American Game. I like him a lot.

PG Kyrie Irving
SG Brad Beal
SF Quincy Miller/Harrison Barnes
PF Tristen Thompson
C Jonas V

I think we trade for a pick in 2011 to draft Thompson and trade for a pick in 2012 to draft Brad Beal. In 2012 we could have a team that is loaded with young talent like my lineup. I believe.

Dream starting 5 huh?

PG - Tarence Kinsey
SG - Sasha Pavlovic
SF - Jawad Williams
PF - Joe Smith
C - Zydrunas Ilgauskas

If we could accomplish this, our starting line-up would consist of some of my all-time favorite Cavs!
