PG: Bob Cousy/ Dennis Johnson/ Rajon Rondo

KG, Pierce, Rondo future HOFers
Lewis and Bias would have been HOFers
Game over.

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.

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.

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.

Bullets/Wizards

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

Amazing rebounding team

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

Paul Pierce in the center of that pic?

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.

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

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

[Wally450]

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