Who do you take, gun to head, to make this team better long term?

[JohnnyTimmons]

If you were in charge of the cats, and you had a gun to your head, and were forced to pick from the following players to make this team better as quickly as possible and for a long time, who would you take?
Factor in salary, projected future salary, positions of need, everything but (They wouldn't come here we suck, or no way they would leave their team)

Josh Smith
Rudy Gay
Michael Beasley
Harden

I would probably go in that order who I would want.

Is there anyone you would want more, outside the obvious Durants, Lebrons, etc?

Beasley.

Plays a position of need, can score, and isn't going to get a huge pay day. I'll take the risk of his off the court issues for the money he is going to get. Plus he is the most likely acquisition that wouldn't cost us our pick .

It's not even close for me.

-Gay is solid, but way overpaid, and we would likely lose our pick.
-Harden is going to get a huge pay day, and hasn't proved he can be a go to guy. Potentially the best of the bunch, but not a sure thing. Again, would cost us our pick.
-Smith would be my second choice, but he will get a big pay day, and the combination of Robinson and Beasley is more attractive to me than Smith and MKG/Beal/Barnes, and that's assuming we are able to keep the pick.

Beasley, cheaper + fills a need.

[CableBoxCat]

Got to go with Beasley too!

[dnbman]

Harden. Gay if his contract wasn't so massive.

I wouldn't want any of those guys to be the cornerstone of my franchise.

[isguros]

Smith, I don't disagree on what you're saying, but I think Smith is a better leader, and a better fit.

[bes628]

Harden, even without the gun.

Kevin Love>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everyone else on that list

But on the first list, I'd say Harden but IDK what we'd have to give up. If it's too much for Harden then Beasley.

it's a point guard's league and by next year irving may be a top 5 pg. i can find other players to give 3/4 of the production of love. but either way, you can't go wrong with either.
