Play NBA GM: What's the Best Starting Lineup You Can Get For $50 Million?

KarlFeb 22, 2009

Hoops Hype lists all NBA salaries (click on the team names at the top of the page for complete information) at http://hoopshype.com/salaries.htm. 

So you be GM: What's the best starting lineup you can come up with for $50 million? 

Yes, your team as a whole will be over the cap (is it $58 million?), but so is every team that contends.  You can have anyone in the league; you just can't go over $50 million (and this is based on players' salaries for 2008-2009).

Here's my starting unit:

Dwight HowardORLC$13,758,000
Carlos BoozerUTAPF$11,593,817

Chris PaulNOHPG$4,574,189
   $47,420,827

I know Boozer's hurt, but he's supposed to be coming back, and he's really good.  Obviously, Paul, Roy, James, and Howard are going to have hugely higher salaries in a couple of years, but for now you can get them for song.  And I've got $2.6 million to spare!  Anyone think they can top that?
