No Ray Ray?

Also I'd run Havlicek at SG and Pierce at SF because Pierce can battle with bigger SFs . Other than that, very solid lineup and coaching staff. :applause:

Hot damn, the 3rd unit benchwarmer garbage time unit is loaded with HOFs :applause:

[D-FENS]

No Ray Ray?


Judas and he's not better than any of the shooting guards named, well better than Sharman and Jones in terms of skill, but not by impact to era.

I like Havlicek off the bench to run the 2nd units ragged.

Good call as Ray sneaks in with 5 seasons as a Celt. I've got Horry at the end of the Spurs bench for specialty purposes (big shots).

[Xiao Yao You]

Ostertag, Okur, Malone, Bailey, Kirilenko, Millsap, Boozer, Dantley, Maravich, Griffith, Hornecek, Russell, Stockton, Green, Williams

[RagaZ]

Spurs would win this, because their players already played with each other and have a chemistry.

Uhhh you basically have

:applause: And to think what the Celtics could have been with Len Bias and Bird playing together. Just watching Maryland play back in the day was awesome. Great list.

Seattle Supersonics

Starting Five:

Bench:

Starters look fine to me.

Bench:
PG: Fred "Downtown" Brown
SG: Nate McMillan
SF: Detlef Schrempf
PF: Spencer Haywood
C: Tom Chambers


I would have put Spencer Haywood over Lonnie Shelton and Detlef Schrempf as the backup SF. Depending on matchups Rashard Lewis might come in as SF or PF for Schrempf or Haywood as 11th man. The 12th man would probably be Xavier McDaniel for me.

[Legends66NBA7]

Players and coach must have been with the franchise a minimum of 5 seasons.

Toronto has exactly 10 players that have been with the team for 5 seasons at least. Will try to break it down anyways.

Starting Lineup

C: Antonio Davis
PF: Chris Bosh
SF: Vince Carter
SG: DeMar DeRozan
PG: Alvin Williams

Bench

C: Andrea Bargnani
PF: Amir Johnson
SF: Morris Peterson
SG: Doug Christie
PG: Jose Calderon

Coach

Head Coach: Sam Mitchell

Mitchell is the only coach in 5 years.

If given a choice, I would have put these players and coaches all in instead (they've all played at a top level at their position or at least been with the team for 3 years):

-Kyle Lowry
-Tracy McGrady
-Anthony Parker
-Charles Oakley
-Dwane Casey
-Lenny Wilkens
-Butch Carter

Good stuff. I didn't think about exceptions for more recent expansion teams. Maybe 3 years would be an appropriate exception there, which would put TMac on.

[Relinquish]

Bullets/Wizards

PG: Gilbert Arenas
SG: Jeff Malone
SF: Antawn Jamison
PF: Elvin Hayes
C: Wes Unseld

Amazing rebounding team :eek: :applause:

Bench:

-PG/SG: Earl Monroe (He only played 4 seasons and 3 games of a fifth season for the Bullets before getting injured and eventually
being traded to the Knicks, so I started Arenas over him).
-PG: John Wall (played 4 seasons and will play 5 for sure), would not dress
-SG: Bradley Beal (will most likely play more than 4, but AT LEAST 4), would not dress
-SG: Phil Chenier
-SF: Bernard King (Played 4 seasons, good enough I guess)
-SF: Caron Butler (played 4.5 seasons)
-SF: Greg Ballard, would not dress
-PF: Juwan Howard
-PF/SF: Gus Johnson
-C: Brendan Haywood

[brooks_thompson]

Mike Conley/Jason Williams
Tony Allen/Mike Miller
James Posey/Shane Battier
Zach Randolph/Pau Gasol
Marc Gasol/Lorenzen Wright

Round out the 12 with Rudy Gay & Bonzi Wells.

Damn, the thought of young Posey & TA starting together...man oh man.

Paul Pierce in the center of that pic?:wtf:

It's just how the photos worked out when I was positioning them, and I made this when Pierce and KG were still on the team

[kshutts1]

Bulls.

Norm Van Lier/Rose
Jordan/Sloan
Pippen/Chet Walker
Grant/Bob Love
Gilmore/Noah

I'm pretty sure no one would ever score on this team. At the same time, though, Bulls offense might be relatively stagnant without a single 3p threat. Should probably add BJ, Kerr as 11th and 12th men.

[r15mohd]

PG:Tim Hardaway/Bimbo Coles/Chalmers <--:facepalm
SG: DWade/Eddie Jones/Thunder Dan
SF: Glen Rice/Steve Smith
PF: Udonis Haslem/???
C: Zo/Ron Seikaly

couldnt rmbr any other PF's off the top of my head...don't think PJ Brown or Brian Grant was in Miami for that long :confusedshrug:

[Wally450]

Hot damn, the 3rd unit benchwarmer garbage time unit is loaded with HOFs :applause:

Hell, you could start that 3rd unit on the second night of a back to back if you wanted.

[qrich]

Clippers:


PG: Norm Nixon | Ernie DiGregorio | Ron Harper
SG: World B Free | Corey Maggette | Eric Piatkowski
SF: Randy Smith | Ken Norman | Gar Heard
PF: Elton Brand | Blake Griffin | Charles Smith
CE: Bob McAdoo | Benoit Benjamin | DeAndre Jordan

HC: Mike Dunleavy Sr.

[Marchesk]

Edit: nevermind - I broke the rules on 5 years - center position is out. Damn. Can't even put Mutombo in there.

AI/Mo Cheeks
Hal Greer/Andrew Toney
Dr J/Chet Walker/Iguodala
Barkley/Bobby Jones
Wilt/M. Malone

Combine the two best 76er teams plus AI, Barkley & Iggie. Can compete with any all-franchise team, even the loaded Celtics and Lakers.
