Dude have you ever heard of the CBA? You can’t afford that team. Horford earns 26 mio which will balloon to 30 mio, Drummond earns 22 mio, which will balloon to 29 mio, Hayward will command at least 25 mio, Butler earns 16 mio. That’s 89 mio for 4 players alone. Plus you would basically need to clear your entire bench. No Bradley, no Smart, no Crowder. Who the hell will be the second unit on that team? Zeke wants to get paid which means you basically are looking at 110 mio or more for the next 3 years, at least, possibly even 4 years for that team? Horford will be 37 by then, IT will be 33. Who are you going to beat with that team?

On top of that… you really don’t want Drummond. Watch the NBA, this is not 2k. Drummond is a garbage rim protector and is declining noticeably and not improving in other areas. This team just wouldn’t work and it would be so unflexible financially that basically all your guys on the bench need to be minimum contract players. You can’t trot out second units of 36 year old guys for 20–30 mins a pop and you won’t have any young players or assets to add any young players left with all those trades you envision. So you will get slaughted for 20 mins every game which means you will possibly lose 40 games unless you play your starters 40 minutes a piece and if you do that you are done in the first round because those guys will break down.
