okay, going to try here:

PG-Kyle Lowry (1,163,520)

SG-Rodney Stuckey (1,687,320)

SF-Brandon Wright (2,497,320) (that is where Nelson will use him)

PF-David Lee (1,788,033)

C-Chris Mihm (2,500,000)

Answer 7

PG: Rajon Rondo-Boston-$1.64 million with team option next year

Rondo qualifies because I'd take next year's option on him. He's not a superstar, either. He's a young PG with a title. He's experienced the high's and low's of the NBA. He has what it takes to be a game manager and plenty of potential.

SG: Brandon Roy-Portland-$3.0 million

Roy falls under the same rules as Rondo. We'd excercise his option next season and he'd be the face of our franchise. He has the ability to play point, but is explosive enough to be our offensive option. Great character.

SF: Bruce Bowen-San Antonio-$4.0 million

Bowen has two years at $4.0 million each season. He's a lockdown, top notch, All-NBA defender who is a veteran. What's not to love about this pick? He brings a certain swagger and toughness to the team. In my first three picks, I have two guys who have won titles, two young guys, and a future all-star.

PF: Luis Scola-Houston-$3.1 million

Scola is a good low-post talent who is 28...meaning he's about ready to enter his prime. He's a great player around the hoop and mediocre in mid-range and on d.

C: Fabricio Oberto-San Antonio-$3.5 million

Oberto never tries to do too much as an NBA center. He plays smart defense (which we need with Scola as our PF) and has good size. He's a veteran who has played with Tim Duncan. He's not going to wow us, but Kurt Thomas makes too much and all of our other options are over $4 million.

I could've been a jerk and cheated and just said a bunch of rookies...but I didn't. I play fair.

Answer 8

good question. I'd say:

Pg: Rajon Rondo (2008: $1,229,280 ), Devin Harris ($3,995,003)

Sg: Kevin Martin (2008: $1,808,121), Rodney Stuckey (2008: $1,569,600)

Sf: Rudy g*y ($2,411,160), Ryan Gomes ($770,610)

Pf: Al Jefferson ($2,480,885), Yi Jianlian ($2,777,760)

C: Al Horford ($3,745,800), DeSagana Diop ($2,146,000)

Ok, mines may be kinda in question because of Al Jefferson and Devin Harris (maybe Rudy g*y and Diop too). plz tell me if they're considered all stars because I haven't seen them in the all star voting before. Also, I'm not sure if I got the right salaries due to the recent signings.
