Your Starting Five and 6th man.

[Richesly]

What would your starting 5 look like in TODAY's NBA. No using past players, only current ones. Your 6th man cannot be an elite player.

Mine:

Kyle Lowry
James Harden
Lebron James
Anthony Davis
Dwight Howard

6th man:
Jimmy Butler

Who can beat this squad!

[BuffaloBill]

A healthy Spurs team

[Richesly]

A healthy Spurs team

Tim Duncan would be useless vs two athletic dominant big man.

Tony Parker will battle it out with Lowry, but I do believe Parker will come out on top.

James Harden will have his way with drawing fouls.

LeBron will be LeBron.

Anthony Davis will give it his all against Timmy. I think his athleticism and speed will be too much for Duncan on both ends.

Splitter might cause Dwight problems, but I think Dwight wins the match up.

Tossed Blake's and Jordan's salads, tbh (though the latter isn't dominant).

Curry
Harden (handling the ball)
LeBron
Davis
Duncan or Bogut (bigs who don't need the ball on offense and can anchor the defenses better than anyone)

6th man: Allen (in case LeBron gives up playing D)

melo as 6th :lol

melo as 6th :lol

Well he did follow the criteria.

[navy]

Am I allow to change positions? Easy to cheat by moving Lebron to point guard.

Lebron
Harden
Durant
Anthony Davis
Marc Gasol

Shooting, offense and defense. Practically unarguable.

[KobesFinger]

Healthy Warriors or Raptors

[Smoke117]

PG - Chris Paul
SG - Klay Thompson
SF - Lebron James
PF - Anthony Davis
C - Marc Gasol

6th man: Dirk Nowitzki

I built a team I think would match up well together as far as offense, defense, and personalities.

[StephHamann]

Curry
Klay Thompson
Lebron
Durant
Marc Gasol

6: Harden

good luck beating this team

[Milbuck]

All healthy...

Russell Westbrook
Kevin Durant
Lebron James
Anthony Davis
Demarcus Cousins

6th man: Jimmy Butler

So much versatility here, on both offense and defense. And with size..elite small ball lineups and elite big lineups.

There's really not that many SGs that can out-quick KD on defense, he's already very good and should be even better without so much offensive responsibility..Ellis might be one who would be troublesome. But Harden, Thompson, Derozan, etc are all bigger, stronger 2s that KD can match up with. But this is why I have Jimmy as my 6th man, extremely versatile perimeter defender who I can insert pretty much anywhere to take on tough wing assignments.

Damian Lillard

6th: wall

Why would you have Wall come off the bench? It's not like he is a huge scoring spark plug. I think Lillard should come off the bench.

Slide demar on the 3 spot and move bron at the 4. were running you down :rockon:

[Nash-tastic]

PG: Stephen Curry
SG: Russell Westbrook
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge (I feel he spreads the floor to give more space and compliments Cousins well)
C: DeMarcus Cousins

6th Man: Kawhi Leonard (Anti-LeBron :oldlol:)

[I<3NBA]

Steph Curry
James Harden
Lebron James
Anthony Davis
Marc Gasol

Kawhi Leonard

2 great 3 point shooters for Lebron to dish to. Elite rim protection with AD and Gasol. Both bigs can step out the paint and drill the midrange so paint isn't packed and Harden and Lebron can drive at will. You can bring Kawhi off the bench to guard the opposing team's best perimeter player.

I believe in fast breaks
I believe in sharing the ball
I believe in guys that know the game

[The Red Viper]

If I am building a team:-

Starting 5:- LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Marc Gasol.

6th Man:- Russell Westbrook.

LeBron running the point along with Steph. I could have gone for someone like Harden/Klay/CP3 instead of Steph/KD. But KD is the second best player in NBA. So, he had to be there. Steph has been on teh rise and is an MVP candidate this season. Also, he would complement both LeBron and KD better than Harden would have. AD is the most talented and best PF in the game in terms of ability down both ends. Blake and LaMarcus are very good in the offensive end but AD's defense is what sets him apart. Out of all Cs, I feel Marc Gasol is the most complete one. Boogie is very talented but is still raw. Very hard to leave out Duncan but considering his age, had to go with Marc Gasol.

With Russell Westbrook as the sixth man. Imagine the mayhem Russ would cause coming off the bench. RIP Opposition Second Units. :oldlol:

You can choose anyone to come off the pine and you take this fool. Common Wally lol

[wakencdukest]

Chris Paul
Klay Thompson
Durant
Anthony Davis
Cousins

LeBron

Chris Paul will run the team, Thompson and Durant will stretch the floor and play defense, no need for any iso dependent wing players. Davis and cousins will control the paint, and be able to hit free throws down the stretch, no offense to Howard. LeBron will come off the bench and cover multiple positions as needed.
