Rondo
Ray / Tony Allen
Pierce / Michael Finley
Brian Scalabrine / KG
Sheed / Perk


To be honest, I guess every team Scalabrine was on is so to speak the right answer. The only person that can beat the White Mamba is himself. I think the scariest thing about him is that he is the only player that has retired and still hasn't hit his prime yet. He still is getting better year by year.

That's why I don't believe in this conspiracy crap, if the league really is rigged, the Mavs wouldn't have traded Luka to the Lakers, Scal would have signed with the Lakers as a free agent midseason instead.

What year were Pierce and KG traded to the Nets? That Nets team with everyone in their primes would have been pretty insane.

2019 Raptors have an insane defensive team if everyone is in their prime.

Point guards: Lowry and VanVleet
Wings: Kawhi, OG, Danny Green
Bigs: Gasol, Ibaka, Siakam

A recent one. 2020-21 Clippers would be nasty.

Rajon Rondo / Patrick Beverley / Lou Williams
Paul George / Luke Kennard / Reggie Jackson
Kawhi Leonard / Nic Batum
Serge Ibaka / Marcus Morris / Patrick Patterson
DeMarcus Cousins / Ivica Zubac

Some Bulls teams were already mentioned. 1987-88 Bulls had 38-year old Artis Gilmore on their team
