60+ wins. That team is pretty stacked, I can see them coming out of the east. I don't know whether they win it all though.

I don't love it. Mid 50s Ws like Melo/Billups Nuggets, Deron/Boozer Jazz, LMA/Lillard Blazers recent good but not title caliber West teams

That SF-PF combo would be pretty dominating.

But my concerns are defense....

I am pretty sure they could win 55 games. I don't think getting to the ECF would be unreasonable for this group.

I think they would win it all. 60-65 wins in the RS and a title. 2006 Brand was amazing, and even though I'm not very high on Dominique, I think he'd be a great co-leader along with Brand (Elton was the better overall player at his peak, but Nique would be their leading scorer).

Camby was very good defensively - not really DPOY worthy, but very good. Along with Brand and Bell, they'd anchor a top 5-10 defense, and their offense would be equally good, if not better.

Bench is very solid, too (assuming all of those bench players are in their primes).

Rudy was a pretty good coach, too.
