If we keep Love I would like to see Flip start Moute

Rubio/ Barea (if we can't find anyone to take him or find a suitable replacement)/ Shved
Brewer/ Martin/ LaVine
Moute/ Bud/ Shabazz/ GR3
Love/ Ed Davis (MLE)
Pek/ Dieng/ Turiaf

Let Pek and Love do all the scoring and have the wings and Rubio defend the perimeter. The second unit should at least be able to score this way while also being able to protect the paint. The third line could be used in situations where we need them (Shabazz for scoring, LaVine for change of pace, Turiaf for energy).

If we sign Evan Turner one or two of our wings have to go. If we can't get Ed Davis I guess we'll have to settle for Dante or some other scrub, maybe we take a chance on Blatche. I would love to land Sessions even if he isn't a great passing pg.

I don't think this team will be much better than they were last year though

I would prefer if we went out on somewhat of a limb and give Ed Davis our MLE. He's a player that makes sense with or without Love. With Dante gone, he fills a hole if Love stays and he is a nice fit next to Pek if Love goes. He takes good shots and can rebound the ball a little bit. If Love goes and you don't get back a clear cut starter, he gives you a guy who can at least split minutes at the position and could be a starter but has never really been given that shot. Turner does nothing for me because he can't shoot which means he can't play with Ricky.
