Seeing that in the play-offs our rotations shrunk to like 10 players I think we can go with NBA ready not so young youngsters with roster spots 12-15. Players that contribute during the regular season but may have to sit in the playoffs. But will also be very cost effective for the next 3 seasons.
AB, Rondo, Riller (2-way), Preston (2-way)
KCP, DG, Caruso, THT
LBJ, Hood, Bey
AD, Morris, Noel
McGee, Howard, DMC
This way after next season when players like McGee, Hood, DG, AB, Rondo?, Noel all possibly moving on we'll already have cost effective players to step in
