Reasoning: Perfect situation for me because I am already a huge lakers fan. I'm also a friend of Manas and though i may be new, he's agreed to take me under his wing.

Give a little idea of what you like and dont like about the roster. Who youd keep, who youd deal...etc etc etc

best players
C-Shaq
PF- Tim Duncan
SF- T-Mac
SG- Allen Iverson (i put him at SG because I had to mention Nash)
PG- Steven Nash

The top 10 players in the league in your opinion.....
Iverson, kobe, VC, Shaq, T-mac, Kirilenko, Steve Nash, Lebron James, Dirk Nowitski, Tim Duncan

Your favorite NBA team.....
ummmm Philly

The player youd most like to build around, and why.....
well this goes with the Lakers ... Allen Iverson because he is my favourite.

I want the Lakers because Iverson is there and he is my favourite, plus the biggest bonus is that he has Shaq alongside him. I would want to deal away these players I dont know and I dont even know if are real like greg kesler and kevin love. I am also not a fan of andre miller, he can go for a more passive PG and one that can actually shoot well...but I may just move AI to PG.

I want to take over the LA team because there's a lot of appeal there. If they're a mediocre team right now, they're not going to get any better. However, the roster has a ton of great pieces that I'm sure fringe contenders would love to acquire. I'd love to explore my options in retooling this roster. This team needs to free up space for Kevin Love; playing in limited minutes between two ball-demanding big men, his numbers are great, considering that he's also just 19. I also love the potential of Thaddeus Young. Plainly, if the current core of aging, high-priced stars is going to barely tread water, and the team sits near $30 million above the salary cap, the team's only option is to unload and retool. If done right, they can contend soon with a younger, cheaper core. The team has two of the biggest name players, and though there's no doubt I would wait a little before unloading them--Shaq and Iverson won't go for the first deal containing lesser paid players-- I still know there's great appeal in acquring impact players such as them. If it takes a season, if it takes two, fine. But keeping these players might mean four seasons of mediocrity and being suffocated by their contracts. I'm excited by the prospect of rebuilding a club by making deals for youth.
