can we agree to put this on hold for at least a couple days, dont think people care right now :oldlol:.
I agree with got's criticisms of my team but i'm banking on specific years helping me out here. 00 shaq by all accounts is an all nba rim protector, 16 draymond shot 39% from 3 in 16. I'm going try to fill out my bench with some defense however. Dont play on ever playing shaq, giannis, dray together unless another team goes with 3 bigs lineups(giannis dray will be my small ball duo for now).
I'll take Victor Oladipo

[B]1987 Lakers [/B]has a solid roster, as long Kidd and Ginobili start over ballhogs in McGrady and Irving, in order to free up room for LBJ so he can also hit Garnett and Ewing for 15 foot jumpers.

I'm actually seriously considering starting Kidd over Irving. No way I'm benching T-Mac though. I wouldn't consider T-Mac a ball hog, he was basically Orlando's only scoring option when he was there, he had to take over games with his scoring. T-Mac's passing ability was the most underrated part of his game.

Yes but LBJ and McGrady are duplicate players with a ball dominant game. Neither were particularly good at playing off the ball.
GINOBILI! was a much better teammate and was more likely to keep the ball moving to the open man.

[QUOTE=Gotterdammerung]
[B]AussieSteve[/B] has a balanced team with KAJ, Barkley and Moses up front, plus Paul and Harden in the backcourt, but they're all ball dominant guy.[/QUOTE]
I feel that I have the best back court of any team.
Defensively I have one of the greatest defensive PGs ever and one of the greatest defensive SGs ever who, between the two of them, have won a DPOY and been selected to 17 All-D teams.
For spacing I have a GOAT-tier 3pt shooter in Price. And Cooper is the ultimate 3 and D player. In 1987 he was DPOY and shot 41% from 3 (RS and PO combined) while making more 3 pointers than Larry Bird did in any season of his career.
Harden is obviously an ATG scorer and CP3 and Price are elite ball handlers. Scoring, shooting, spacing, defense, ball handling, facilitating... All A+.
I'm not concerned about having too many ball dominant guys. We've seen Harden and CP play beside each other successfully and Price can play as an off ball spot up shooter or secondary ball handler... as a 2x 3pt contest winner and 4x All-NBA PG, he'll be elite in either role.
My front court needs a couple of pieces, but offensively I feel it's the best of the lot so far. Peak KAJ is imo the best combination of scoring, facilitating and defense ever at the C. Moses and Chuck are two of the best offensive rebounders of all time, and peak Barkley was the next best thing to Shaq in terms of offensive dominance inside.
In terms of interior defense, KAJ and Moses were both All-D 1st team in their peak seasons. While their not a DRob / TD tier defensive pairing, the team will have elite rim protectiom and defensive rebounding, no matter who is on the floor.
Two gifted clutch wings...
[B]Clyde "The Glide" Drexler[/B]
An exceptional finisher: acrobatic dunker/athletic slasher/midrange shooter, solid playmaker, rebounder and defender.
- Drexler leads all guards with his career average of offensive rebounds with 2.4 per game.
- averaged more rebounds, assists, steals and blocks than Kobe Bryant, (and higher shooting % from the floor)
- record for most steals in a half (both regular season and playoffs history)
- 10
