Lanier / Rodman / Dice...

When you look at their best years you're talking elite guys

Jalen / Smith:

When the Pacers made the Finals it was Jalen who shined more than Reggie Miller...Smith was an All Star calibre player in Atlanta

Joe / Bing / Vinnie...hard to replace Zeke in the greatest Pistons backcourt of all time but if you have to do it Bing is as good as any replacement you could get.

Offensive versatility to the extreme with Jalen, Smith, Bing & Joe all capable of initiating the offense which is built upon the greatest big man the franchise has ever known...with a 20 &10 dude like Dice off the bench!

There's enough shooting to space the floor too so every angle in covered

Defensively Rodman leads the charge with Joe - inside & out the D has quality, especially with Lanier, Dice & Bing

I haven't paid attention to what teams were built but looking at the team Lion & I put together the only one we might struggle against would feature Grant Hill as the #1...but Rodman, Jalen & Smith would surely wear him down

The All-Undrafted Team

Kevin Willis
Dan Roundfield
Cliff Robinson
Kelly Tripuka
Allan Houston
Brandon Knight
Rickey Green

A player short, and you could go different directions with the eighth - maybe another shooter like Campy Russell or Jamal Crawford. But I believe they were all all-stars except Cliffy and the roles are pretty much covered.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
