I mentioned in the FA thread that I had gone to the UCLA training center. Got a private tour of the entire place. Ran into Brandon Ingram and the "Rambii". Went into the "war room", Pelinkas office (not inside) even walked onto the court. Pretty cool experience. Here are some pics, hopefully I post them correctly.

I will admit that - when I heard the news about AD trade - I was all about getting that 3rd star. Hey, let's get Kawhi Leonard as well, why not? If he does not want to play for us, there's always Butlers, Kyries, even Kembas who might want to.

But, the more I think about it, the more I feel we need to add some depth. Having Bron+Brow as our primary stars might (we are talking about two top 6-7 players in the league right now, both legitimate MVP candidates) be more than enough with good depth, with players who can compliment them, ie. guys who can shoot and/or defend. Who are they? Well, players like JJ, Brogdon, Green - perhaps a "Euro" guy who is a proven role-player, such as Bogdanovic or Mirotic, maybe even Rubio... you get the idea.

Let's take Bogdanovic for example: he's a Croatian player (born in Mostar, Bosnia actually, just like Zubac) who scores over 18PPG, hitting almost 5 threes a game. He shoots them @ 40%+ clip. Great energy, no issues off the court, good teammate,...

Post your guess for what the starting 5 will look like when the season opens!

KCP, Rondo, Stephenson, Bullock, McGee, Chandler, Caruso. (did I miss any?)
I'd be surprised if 3 or more of them return.
What are your hopes & guesses with these guys..?

For me it's:
1. McGee
2. Bullock
3. Rondo
4. Caruso
5. Stephenson
6. KCP
7. Chandler
