Another new owner!

After adding two new owners last year, we have another one this year. We bid farewell to the creaky 2005 NBA All-Star Team, which was built for a short championship run, and then deemed too old once the chips got down. Way to ditch you team Steve! Over three seasons, 2005 NBA All-Star Team compiled a 27-22 record and won the Transformers division back in 2010. It will be a real loss to lose Steve, who was the consensus #1 pick for the mock draft of the owners, but we feel confident our new owner can step up to the plate.

Introducing Chris*, who is actually an old SlamNation owner from years ago. He's back after a bit of a hiatus and is now tuning in from Korea. Which is a nice tidbit since 2005 NBA All-Star Team used to be called Korea! Korea! during their first season. After just a few days on the job, Chris has already upended his roster to dramatic results.

*I have no idea how I'm going to differentiate between the two Chris', both are "Chris L's" and I can't use last names. Should we just go with last names as first names? Yes, it'll be Lum and Lucas from now on, unless they want me to article them under a different name.

Three years ago, Korea! Korea! took Dwight Howard, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Jason Richardson, Antawn Jamison, and Manu Ginobili during our inaugural draft. Since then, their best move was to trade for Ricky Rubio during before the 2012 draft.

While Steve showed a predilection for veterans, it's clear Chris has a different agenda. Left with the carcass of a roster, Chris set about rebuilding by moving Dwight Howard for Blake Griffin, Carmelo Anthony, and Kenneth Faried. Declining to keep Faried, Chris then tapped Derrick Favors, Rubio, Ginobili, and free agent non-keeper Jeff Teague to form the core of his new squad.

Then, during the 2013 draft, Chris took Glen Davis, Antawn Jamison, Thomas Robinson, C.J. Watson and Gerald Henderson. A 2013 RD2 pick was pre-ordained for another team too, as that was the pick exchanged for Rubio. With everyone on board, we can imagine where this team is headed for the upcoming season.

Jeff Teague will run point to start and he'll have savvy veteran Ginobili beside him. Teague is an up and comer and will be the only source of AST on this team until Rubio returns. C.J. Watson will be pressed into duty as the third guard, a role that's perhaps overeaching for him but he'll likely add a three and a steal each game. Carmelo Anthony and Blake Griffin will form the highest scoring forward tandem in the league, and that will give Chris' team a chance to be highly competitive in FG% and PTS. Manning the middle will be undersized Glen Davis, who can't protect the rim but could provide some scoring and a touch of rebounding.

Filling out the frontline will be three power forwards. Derrick Favors could be a future star but he'll need more minutes to break out. Rookie Thomas Robinson is a shoot first project that will also have a crowded real life logjam in front of him. Old boy Antawn Jamison is back for another spin, and he could be a nice scoring boost but his best fantasy days are clearly over. With the exception of Favors, there's not a lot of BLK on this roster, so this team will likely be offensive first and defense second, which will make for great highlights.

In general, we're looking at a team that has quite a few holes, especially with Rubio injured, but this is a roster that is rebuilding and already looking infinitely better than where it was left at the end of last season. So everyone, please (re-)welcome Chris and his new franchise: Eron, Joven and Chandler!
