    Default Which Franchise would win using all-time peak players?

    OK. So this is a little video game-like, but if every franchise could assemble a roster using any player that has ever played for them, and each player would be at their peak level career-wise, which franchise would win title?

    Examples:

    Miami Heat

    Shaq/Morning
    Bosh/Odom
    LeBron/Rice
    Wade/Allen
    Penny/ T. Hardway


    Houston Rockets

    Hakeem/ Howard/ Mutombo/ Ming
    Barkley/M. Malone
    T. Mac/ Pippen/ Rice
    Drexler/Harden
    Mark Jackson/ K. Smith

    If it were even possible, you could play 100 games, and they would probably split them. I mean, let's get real here, the talent levels are nearly equal.

    Nash and Malone? Not as Lakers.

    But you could add Worthy and Goodrich.

    Orlando Magic would have one of the deepest front court

    C: Shaq, Ewing, Howard
    PF: Webber, Ben Wallace, Kemp

    The rest of the team wouldn't be that great though aside from Tmac and Penny

    He said any player who has ever played for the franchise, and they are in their prime.

    OP is suggesting that it can be anyone who ever played at their peaks.

    For instance, the Raps can have peak Dream playing with peak Carter/T-Mac/Bosh.

    These types of arguments are moot. I shouldn't have even bothered posting on this topic. It's purely hypothetical.

    You could take your pick of players who have played for the Lakers, put them in their primes (even if they didn't play for the Lakers while they were in said primes) and they might be able to beat the all-time primes cherry-picked from every other franchise combined.
