The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
Based on who people have posted their team would protect, my selection:

PG Marcus Smart (Boston)
SG Will Barton (Denver)
SF Danny Green (San Antonio)
PF Al-Farooq Aminu (Portland)
C Cody Zeller (Charlotte)

PG TJ McConnell (Philadelphia)
PG Cory Joseph (Indiana)
SG Patrick McCaw (Golden State)
SG Terrence Ferguson (Oklahoma City)
SF Tony Snell (Milwaukee)
SF OG Anunoby (Toronto)
PF Nemanja Bjelica (Minnesota)
PF Derek Favors (Utah)
C Kelly Olynyk (Miami)

Cap room remaining: $11.1m

UFAs: Favors, Barton / Green and Joseph have players options

Your only long term contacts are Zeller 4/56m, Snell 4/46m and Olynyk 4/50m which are all perfectly reasonable. Smart, McCaw, Ferguson, Anunoby are all on rookie contracts so will be RFAs when their deals expire. The guys who are UFAs this summer could all be moved to a contender at the deadline for assets. But if you wanted to compete you have $11m in cap space to go get someone and I think the team as is even without a trade would definitely be a playoff team in the east.

Other than deliberately building a team full of rookies and bottoming out for a top three draft pick, this is a pretty good situation. Potential playoff team now, with several young guys who could improve and also excellent flexibility moving forward with no-one on the roster having a bad contract.

FYI, that team is almost certainly over the cap Doltos.

Doltos posted:

PG - George Hill - $20m
SG - JJ Reddick - $23m
SF - T.J. Warren - $3.15m
PF - Ryan Anderson - $19.58m
C - Dwight Howard - $23.5m

Bench
Wilson Chandler - $12.01m
Lou Williams - $7m
Jakob Poeltl - $2.825m
Tyson Chandler - $13m
Tony Parker - $15.45m
Greg Monroe - $17.88m
Al Farouq Aminu - $7.32m

$164.72m total salary.

Even if you were allowed to break the salary cap in this situation, your luxury tax bill alone would be $244m. I don't think Jerry Reisendorf is paying $400m for a 43 win team.

Also Chandler and Warren both are on the Suns.
