AUBURN HILLS – How deep into the playoffs do you suppose this lineup would go: MVP candidate Isaiah Thomas at point guard with Khris Middleton of Milwaukee next to him at shooting guard; another MVP candidate, Kawhi Leonard, at small forward and another Milwaukee star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, at the other forward spot; in the middle, Defensive Player of the Year candidate Rudy Gobert?
You think that team might have Cleveland looking a little wobbly to get out of the East?
Off the bench, let’s bring perimeter firepower in Zach LaVine, Devin Booker and Rodney Hood. Backing up Thomas at the point, how about Eric Bledsoe and Dennis Schroder?
