So is Wade & Kyrie, but they worked well with LeBron.

[QUOTE=NBAGOAT]i need a big who can play with any of my bigs and shoot/defend/pass since my 2nd unit has enough scoring. Going with 18 horford just for the 43% from 3.
I dont love how my draft went but I think my team is really good.
00 Shaq/18 Horford
16 Green/19 Giannis
04 Peja/04 Kirilenko
09 Wade/01 Carter
68 West/19 Lillard
I got admittedly not the best guard defense outside wade but guard defense is the least important. Green and kirilenko and/or giannis is a monster combination defensively.
Can usually have 3 shooters on the court, sometimes 4. Ofc I have an easy formula for a baseline offense. Just do what do 05 heat did along with some triangle you seen from the shaq/kobe 3 peat with wade/carter replacing kobe.[/QUOTE]
Robinson will feast on your weak interior defense :oldlol:

Kidd,LeBron,Kyrie, Manu and McGrady sharing 1 basketball
You have too many ball handlers

Well, it's an All-time draft. What do you expect? Are the 1992 Dream Team not the greatest team ever assembled because they had too many ball-handlers? :oldlol:
OK sorry for the delay...
My last pick is 1993 Dan Marjerle, who was an AS, All-D and hit the most 3s in the league. He will play primarily at SF.
Majerle is a 3x All Star, 2x All-D, prolific 3pt shooter, thunderous dunker and perfect complement to a team full of superstars.
The early-mid 90s Suns had the best offense in the NBA, with Thunder Dan taking and making the most threes in the league in both 93 and 94 at a healthy 38%... largely off the back of kick outs from Barkley doubles.
Marjerle completes a roster that has no passengers on offense. Every single player adds something and demands attention on that end. His inclusion also ensures that I have an All-D option at every position, with my back up C also being All-D 1st team.

i will have it in the start of the game,and i can change him later when he score 30 points on nash :lol
bird will make kd cry with his trash talking :pimp:
Team AussieSteve... Elite in every facet of the game.
[U]Point Guard[/U]
[B]Starter: 2014 Chris Paul[/B]
19 / 4 / 11 / 37%3pt / 58%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- All-D 1st
- led league in assists and steals
- doesn't turn the ball over
- shot 39% from 3pt on 3.8 attempts over the RS & PO combined
[B]Reserve: 1993 Mark Price[/B]
18 / 3 / 8 / 42%3pt / 61%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- won the first of back-to-back 3pt contest wins
- can play back up PG or secondary ball handler / spot up shooter beside CP or Harden
[U]Shooting Guard[/U]
[B]Starter: 2018 James Harden[/B]
30 / 5 / 9 / 37%3pt / 62%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- MVP
- Scoring champion
- Led Rockets to 65 wins and almost to the finals
- might play off the bench with Cooper starting, if playing a team with a MJ / Kobe / Wade tier SG
[B]Reserve: 1987 Michael Cooper[/B]
10 / 3 / 5 / 39%3pt / 54%ts
- All-D 1st
- DPOY
- shot 41% from 3pt over RS & PO combined, with the most makes of any player in the league
- could start alongside CP if defense in the back court is a priority
[U]Small Forward[/U]
[B]Starter: 1963 Elgin Baylor[/B]
34 / 14 / 5 / 52%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- Runner-up MVP
- GOAT rebounding at the SF position
- super athletic wing able score from anywhere and facilitate for others.
[B]Reserve: 1993 Dan Majerle[/B]
17 / 5 / 4 / 38%3pt / 57%ts
- All Star
- All-D 2nd
- attempted and made the most 3 pointers in the league
- elite off-ball catch and shoot wing, who could also put the ball on the floor, get to the basket and throw down a monstrous dunk
- if defense at the 2 is an issue, then Majerle can play stretches at SG with Harden playing reduced minutes or at PG.
[U]Power Forward[/U]
[B]Starter: 1988 Charles Barkley[/B]
28 / 12 / 3 / 66%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- led league in offensive boards
- led the league in efg% and ts%
- arguably not the best version of Chuck but was completely unstoppable inside at this point of his career. What does the the defense do... send a hard double to Chuck and leave three 40% 3pt shooters waiting for the kick out, or let Chuck get to the basket and get And-1s all game long?
- Chuck was also a decent secondary rim protector at this point of his career and an animal on the offensive boards.
[B]Reserve: 1975 Elvin Hayes[/B]
23 / 12 / 3 / 50%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- All-D 2nd
- Hayes was a monster on the boards, a great rim protector and his turnaround was jumper was automatic. He was a 1970s Karl Malone who could also block shots
[U]Center[/U]
[B]Starter: 1977 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar[/B]
26 / 13 / 4 / 56%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- All-D 1st
- MVP
- averaged 35 / 18 on 61%efg in the playoffs
- probably the best all round center ever in terms of scoring, facilitating and defense as a package
[B]Reserve: 1983 Moses Malone[/B]
25 / 15 / 2 / 58%ts
- All-NBA 1st
- All-D 1st
- MVP
- FMVP
- perhaps the greatest offensive rebounder of all time
- could play PF alongside Kareem for the GOAT twin towers tandem ever
[U][B]Strengths[/B][/U]
- Rebounding; particularly on the offensive boards. The number of 2nd chances this team would get on offense is insane. At any given time, this team is almost certain to have two of the best three rebounders on the floor.
- Inside scoring. Chuck, Kareem, Moses, Hayes. Enough said.
- Perimeter shooting. All four guards and Majerle are very good to ATG 3-point shooters. That's five guys capable of lighting it up from outside.
- Interior defense. Kareem, Moses and Hayes are all All-D selections, averaging >2 blocks per game. Chuck was tough to move in the post and blocked plenty of shots c.1988 also.
- Perimeter defense. Cooper is DPOY; CP3 is All-D 1st team. Both back court positions covered. Majerle is also All-D and can guard the 2 or 3.

Update picks please. My go?
[QUOTE=DaHeezy]Update picks please. My go?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, you got the last pick of the draft
Lol at Kyle Korver going ahead of much better overall players that still hadn't/haven't been picked like Glen Rice, Mitch Richmond, Chris Mullin, Bernard King, Ron Harper, Tim Hardaway, Joe Dumars...:oldlol:
If y'all going by years as some of you have put the version of said player...no 2010 Derrick Rose? Dude was an absolute beast pre injury.
