He is the best rebounding SF on the list. Would make up for Sheed's weakness.

If this was a fast-breaking team yes. But with Stockton and Bryant, this clearly is a half-court team. Wallace is almost useless. The Zo/Wallace/Wallace frontcourt clearly is disfunctional.

Titles are overrated
Re: Expanded team buider game. 300+ players. A true test of lockout boredom.
Id say right now two of my early picks for the "playoffs" would be :
Gary Payton / Derek Fisher
Manu Ginobili / Jeff Hornacek / Craig Ehlo
Chris Mullin / Ron Artest / Mario Elie
Rasheed Wallace / Horace Grant
Bill Walton / Manute Bol
and
Bill Walton / Divac
Webber / H Grant
Worthy / Schrempf / Luke Walton
Dumars / Terry / Battier
Kidd / A Johnson
Not the most talented...but I think they might play together better than most teams that have more stars. They could function as a team I suspect. Not just great on paper. I cant seen anyone on either team holding them back with any kind of selfishness or acting up. Ron I guess...but...how likely is it to happen again?

Re: Expanded team buider game. 300+ players. A true test of lockout boredom.
1. Hakeem
3. Chris Paul
4. Manu
5. AK47, Bogut
6. Horry, Bell
7. Hinrich, Brent Barry
8. Rambis, Anthony Parker, Keon Clark
Hakeem / Bogut
Horry / Rambis / Clark
AK47 / Brent Barry
Manu / Raja Bell / Parker
Chris Paul / Hinrich
Hakeem = cornerstone. in his prime he was a flawless player. unstoppable scoring in the post, great decision-making/passing, an assassin in big games, very good rebounder, amazingly active help defender/shot blocker, great/calm/respected leader, ability to outplay anyone put in front of him...he leaves you nothing to criticize.
Paul = gets the ball to everyone where they need it, amazing shooter, great defender, blends talent seamlessly to the team.
Manu = dynamic playmaker/scorer, clutch, game changer, great shooter.
ak47 = people forgetting how good he was. was a really good passer in the offense, gave you 15-20 pts without needing the ball much, could dominate game without scoring much with his amazing help defense, and brings in defensive versatility (can guard SGs, SFs and some PFs).
Bogut gives more post scoring, great interior defense, smart passer/team player, elite rebounder at his position.
Horry there because he fits so well with dominant offensive centers. Gives them space, makes doubles pay, plays solid defense and a clutch ass mofo. Bell to shoot 3s at 40+% and play solid man defense.
Barry for shooting...I hated him because he was so good at making threes...AK's weakness is outside shooting, Barry helps out there. Hinrich, can defend both guard spots, can shoot, can run both guard spots...perfect as a backup to CP3.
Rambis gives you solid minutes where he will provide, hustle, rebound, make himself available to finish under the basket, dude was a 20 mpg player on four championship teams...lets respect him. Parker can shoot. And Keon Clark gives me athleticism, some scoring and a good after party.

Kobe and Pierce could definitely play well together.
Both aren't known as catch-and-shoot guys but are both good enough shooters to be elite catch-and-shoot off-the-ball players.

Very good NBA starter
Re: Expanded team buider game. 300+ players. A true test of lockout boredom.
2.
David Robinson(90-96)
3.
Stockton
Carmelo
4.
Rasheed(prime)
Sprewell
5.
Allan Houston
Antawn Jamison(warriors to Wizards)
6.
Jason Terry(now)
Okur
7.
Diaw(Suns)
Shane Battier
8.
Boobie Gibson
stockton / terry / boobie
sprewell / houston
melo / battier
sheed / jamison / diaw
d-rob / okur
all great defensive players except melo in the starting 5. stockon/robinson pick and roll should be the centre piece, with melo isos afterwards. stockton should be able to get a lot out of spree and sheed.
instant offense in terry off of the bench, jamison can cause mismatches, shoot 3s against PFs, and post up SFs, houston, and battier provide 3pt shooting, and battier is a defensive stopper, houston as another spark plug scorer, and finally okur can pull shot blocking centers (of which im sure many will be picked) away from the rim. diaw can facilitate ball movement, boobie can hit the 3pt shot, and together they can play all 5 positions, well just about.

Re: Expanded team buider game. 300+ players. A true test of lockout boredom.
Level 1: Michael Jordan
Level 3: Chris Webber
Level 4: Ben Wallace
Level 5: Andre Iguodala, Mike Bibby
Level 6: Maurice Williams, Mehmet Okur
Level 7: Serge Ibaka, Cuttino Mobley
Level 8: Anthony Parker, Darko Milicic, Eddie House
PG: Bibby | MoWilliams | Eddie House
SG: Jordan | Mobley
SF: Iguodala | Anthony Parker
PF: C. Webber | Ibaka
CE: B. Wallace | Okur | Darko Milicic
At the point, you have three sharp shooters.
MJ at the duece, obviously, but throw in Mobley off the bench and that looks solid.
Jack of all trades at the three with a defensive backup.
Webber is among my favorite PFs of all time, Ibaka is size off the bench.
Wallace protects the rim, gobbles up every rebound. Memo provides offense when needed and Darko is Darkoooooooooooo

Re: Expanded team buider game. 300+ players. A true test of lockout boredom.
Id say my third "playoff" team is:
Hakeem / Bogut
Horry / Rambis / Clark
AK47 / Brent Barry
Manu / Raja Bell / Parker
Chris Paul / Hinrich
I think everyone on that team knows how to defer and is willing to do it. Chris Paul the last few years has times where he just flat wont shoot. He would probably put up 14 points and 12 assists on 56% shooting on this team. They could function as a real lineup I suspect.

Re: Expanded team buider game. 300+ players. A true test of lockout boredom.
Magic/Hinrich/House
Ceballos/Crawford
Nance/Hedo/Barry
Rasheed/Clark
Thurmond/Bol
You have Magic to set up everyone. Two low post scorers who are also great defenders and Rasheed can play center. Ceballos is there for shooting, and Nance is a great athlete. Crawford can come off the bench and play point or two guard. Hedo can play point foward at times and go to the four depending on matchups. Barry to Stretch the defence, and Hinrich for defence. House is there so he can do his "Big Balls" celebration every game.
Not really a dominate scorer on the team but there would be good ball movement, good defence at the rim and easy points since Magic is our point guard.

Probably sits between 3 and 4. Your justification reasoning is a) Wrong and b) poor.

7...perhaps 8 people in level 3 ever had a case to be better than Dwight was last season. While 9 people in level 2 were arguably no better than him. Nobody on level 4 ever played as well as Dwight just did. He earned a #2. He led a team to the finals and hes better now than he was then. He earned a #2. Only 7 of the #2s ever did anything significant in their entire careers that he has not done at 25 or 26. Whatever he is.

C: Dikembe Mutumbo/ Joakim Noah

Re: Expanded team buider game. 300+ players. A true test of lockout boredom.
Bill Walton/Nene/Bol(efficient scoring from Nene, and comedy from Bol)
McHale/Rodman(Ultimate hustle, needs no shots to be great obv.)
Kirilenko/Horry(like size at this spot)
Reggie Miller/Eddie Jones/Michael Cooper(great defense at both backup guards)
CP3/Hinrich(Can defend multiple positions)
Thoughts?
I feel building around Walton is a pretty easy pick, since he can be built around easily and his only big weakness in all time ratings is longevity, which isn't a problem here.
Might try an option 1, think this will be better though.
