Hypothetical Draft: A Whole NBA Team Dies..Draft a New Starting 5

[ALBballer]

The National Basketball Association (NBA) contingency plan activates if five or more players on a team "'die or are dismembered'".[1][4] A special "disaster draft" would be held in which other NBA teams could only protect five players,[4][5] so that quality sixth men would be available. No more than one player would be drafted from a team.[1]

According to Wiki if 5 or more players die from a team a draft would be held and each team would be allowed to protect 5 players. For this hypothetical, let us assume the entire 76ers team cease to exist.

PG: Shaun Livingston
SG: Dion Waiters
SF: Danny Green
PF: David Lee
C: Taj Gibson (I'm assuming Bulls keep Rose, Butler, Noah and a combination 2 out of the 3 of Gibson/Gasol/Mirotic)

If healthy this is a playoff team in the east.

Uh...no. That's the worst team in the league.

DJ Augustin / CJ Watson
Marco Belinelli / Jodie Meeks
Harrison Barnes / Corey Brewer
Taj Gibson / David Lee
Tiago Splitter / Ed Davis

Pop could take that team to the 3rd-4th seed in the East.

You are only allowed to take one unprotected player from a team.

[Genaro]

First of all we would have to define who the team are protecting. As a Laker fan, I assume they would protect Kobe, Young, Randle, Hill and one more guy.

Then..

DJ Augustin / CJ Watson
Kevin Martin* / OJ Mayo
Harrison Barnes / James Johnson
Taj Gibson / Ed Davis
Tiago Splitter / Spencer Hawes

*Pretty sure Minny wouldn't protect him, I'd say they'd hold on to Rubio, Wiggins, Lavine, Dieng, and probably Thad Young or Bennett.
