2013 NBA DRAFT TEAM NEEDS: THE GOOD BUT NOT GREAT PERENNIAL PLAYOFF TEAMS

For this year's draft I decided to do my team needs based on the type of team they are.  In my opinion we have five different types of teams out there.
(5)THE CONTENDERS (pretty self explanatory): MIA, SA, OKC, CHI (with a healthy Derrick Rose) and IND
(5) THE GOOD BUT NOT GREAT PERENNIAL PLAYOFF TEAMS (good teams with veteran stars/core):  MEM, LAC (if CP3 leaves then they will be a transition team), DEN, NY, BRK
(5) THE  UP AND COMERS (young teams with young cores led by a star 27 or under, they should become contenders or perennial playoff teams soon): GS, HOU, POR, MIN, TOR
(7) TRANSITIONING TEAMS (these teams have MAJOR decisions this summer on whether to rebuild or try to make another playoff run with a veteran team, all of these teams best or second best player is a free agent this summer):  ATL, LAL, BOS, UTAH, MIL, DAL, PHL
(8) REBUILDING (self explanatory, all these teams have top 8 picks and have young cores, some like CLV, WAS and DET  have a stud to build around, others will look to this year's draft and the 2014 draft to get a star to build around


Notes: Projected 2013 Salary cap is 58.5 million, number next to position is the range the player ranks in the NBA in regards to other starter at their position.

Brooklyn Nets
Picks: 22 
Have: 
Stars/Studs: 
Star PG (5-8)-Deron Williams
Good young C (Top 8)-Brook Lopez 
Good SG (4-6) Joe Johnson

Need: Shooting wings, backup C 
Options: Kentavios Caldwell-Pope, Sergey Karasev,Tim Hardaway Jr., Glen Rice Jr. and Allen Crabbe, Mason Plumlee, Gorgui Dieng, Rudy Gobert, Tony Mitchell  
Synopsis: The Nets move to Brooklyn was pretty successful. They mad a big trade for Joe Johnson last year which had mixed results. In Deron, Lopez and Johnson they Nets have a great scoring trio. They really can't do anything in free agency. It will be interesting to see if they even keep their 1st rounder.  
Teams Stats: OPPG-17, ORTG-8, DPPG-6, DRTG-17, APG-27, RPG-10

2012 Cap $$$: 86.34 (27.84 over, highest salary on the books for next year)  
Key Free Agents: Blatche

Picks: 24
Have: 
Stars/Studs: 
Star CF (Top 3 as PF, 3-5 as SF) Carmelo Anthony

6th Man of the Year SG-JR Smith

Options: Kentavios Caldwell-Pope, Sergey Karasev,Tim Hardaway Jr., Tony Mitchel, Glen Rice Jr., Allen Crabbe, Mason Plumlee, Gorgui Dieng, Rudy Gobert 
Synopsis: The Knicks are interesting and relevant once again. Melo and Smith can score but they struggled in the playoffs.  I don't know if the Knicks will ever have enough physical players to handle playoff battles with the Heat, Pacers and Bulls.   
Teams Stats: OPPG-11, ORTG-3, DPPG-7, DRTG-18, APG-30, RPG-26

Need: SG, backup C, younger SF  
Options: Kentavios Caldwell-Pope, Tony Mitchell Sergey Karasev,Tim Hardaway Jr., Glen Rice Jr., Allen Crabbe, Mason Plumlee, Gorgui Dieng, Rudy Gobert 
Synopsis: The Clippers will do everything in thier power to keep CP3. They are off to a good start by getting arguably the best head coach in the NBA Doc Rivers. They need a major upgrade at SG and could get a little young at SF as well. They had too many 30+ role players last season. It was evident in the Memphis series that they didn't have enough athletes on the wings.

Shaw will be in charge of making the defense better. Andre Iguodala AKA Iggy will opt out but plans to sign an extension for about 11 mill per season. This unfortunately means they will have to let Brewer go via free agency.
