Producer B: So, Hibbert, West, Granger, and this George guy?
Producer A: Well, hold on, let’s wait it out a little bit. Let’s go back to Memphis. 
We’ll say that the Grizzlies make some other shrewd moves. We’ll screw over Boston again. Just a year after we give the Lakers Pau and make LA a legitimate threat to the Celtics’ dynasty plans, we’ll have Memphis swoop in and sign Tony Allen away from Boston.
Producer B: I like Tony Allen but do you really think Boston will care that much?
Producer A: They will when he becomes the best perimeter defender in the NBA! Allen on the outside with Conley? I’m telling you, they can make for an All-Defensive backcourt together.
Producer B: Then let’s have Memphis get another two early lottery picks to shore up their depth. I still don’t think they have a real chance at competing for a title with Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay as their stars…
Producer A: Kevin Love! He’s their guy. We’ll give the Grizzlies Kevin Love out of UCLA and have them secure the best frontcourt in the NBA alongside Gasol and Randolph.
Producer B: I don’t know, I think the team needs another scorer on the perimeter.
Producer A: How about this: let’s have the Grizzlies draft Kevin Love and then trade him for O.J. Mayo. It needs to happen! This world needs a Gay-Love Era in Memphis, even if it is for just one night.
Producer B: Fine. I guess Mayo has star potential. Let’s also have Memphis strike out on the other lottery pick to cover up suspicions that everything is going right in Memphis. Let’s have them pass on guys like James Harden and Stephen Curry in the draft and have them take a guy like Hasheem Thabeet. 
Producer A: I like it! Even though they’ll have Gasol, we can say that they thought Thabeet was going to be really good. So let’s recap: Mayo will be the team’s sixth man and Thabeet will be the team’s designated towel boy. Next, Memphis can give up on Thabeet really quickly and trade him for a proven veteran. Then we can have them make a playoff run. They can be the eighth seed and, out of nowhere, dismantle an aging Spurs team.
Producer B: An eight seed beating a one? You think Popovich would let the Spurs flop like that?
Producer A: Let’s make it happen. Gasol will have a coming out party. Randolph will be dominant. Conley will look great. Mayo will provide a scoring punch. Also, let’s have some reserves break out of their shells. Greivis Vasquez, that scorer from Maryland, he can be a second round pick and become an unselfish sparkplug off the bench.
Producer B: What about Rudy Gay? You didn’t even talk about him. You can’t possibly think that Memphis will beat the Spurs without Rudy Gay.
Producer A: Oh, that’s right. I forgot to mention. Gay will miss the entire postseason after shoulder surgery. But remember how they traded Thabeet for a veteran? That veteran will step up.
Producer B: Like who? Caron Butler? Shawn Marion? Jason Richardson?
Producer A: I was thinking Shane Battier. He seems like he’d be a guy that some saber metric statisticians would love.
Producer B: Ok. Battier’s a good call. At the very least, he can shoot threes and defend Manu well.
Producer A: So then they’ll eventually lose to the Seattle Supersonics and Kevin Durant in the second round. Wait. Let’s have the Sonics move to Oklahoma City! We’ll name them the Durantulas!
Producer B: Are you kidding me? No one would ever want to play in Oklahoma City. And the Durantulas is as stupid a name as something generic like “the Thunder.”
Producer A: Ok. We’re getting off topic. Regardless of where Durant is, he will beat Memphis. But still, the Grizzlies will gain some postseason confidence and will be able use it in the future.
Producer B: So what about Indiana? When do they come together?
