This team ... 

Post#1 » by CaptainFanchini » Sat May 10, 2008 11:13 am

... how would have done in the '80s/'90s ?

PG Abdul-Rauf / Vinny del Negro
SG George Gervin / Rolando Blackman / Anthony Bowie
SF Dominique Wilkins / Michael Ray Richardson /
PF Bob McAdoo / Orlando Woolridge / Brad Miller
C Darryl Dawkins / Joe Barry Carroll / Bill Laimbeer

Jolly: Bill Bradley


Quiz: there is something that all these players have in common ... what ?

1. Laimbeer starts.
2. No true PG
3. no PFs on the roster
4. Defense is horrible

Once a trade or 2 is made the team should win 55-80 games (assuming all these players are in there prime)

You do have 1 MVP
5 scoring championships
8 allstars

IMHO that could be the greatest frontcourt of all time 5 allstars in one frontcourt is pretty much unheard of.

1) ok

2) I know, but I don't have lot of choices for this spots ...

3) Woolridge and McAdoo would be good NBA PFs, and 'Nique could play minutes at it too.

4) they will outscore everyone :nod:



Anyone found out what's the commong thing between all these players ?

Michael Ray Richardson's true position was PG. He made the all-star team at PG, so he'd start there and round out the lineup a bit better.

G - Michael Ray / Del Negro
G - Gervin / Blackman / Abdul Rauf
F - Nique / Woolridge
F - McAdoo / Miller
C - Laimbeer / Joe Barry Carroll / Dawkins

That would probably be the most exciting, high scoring squad ever. Gervin and Nique need no introduction. Michael Ray had a very free-flowing, daredevil way of playing the point. He had alot of turnovers, but created alot of turnovers as well. Woolridge was a high-flyer in his early days. And the best dunker of them all might be the big man - Dawkins.

Laimbeer and McAdoo are two of the best outside shooting big men of all time, and Miller's pretty good in that regard as well.

Problems would be.... only one ball. Alot of me-first guys on the team, who weren't necessarily selfish but were always accostomed to being THE man on their team. Blackman and Laimbeer were both team first guys who didn't need the ball as much, so I'd work them into the lineup alot. I much prefer the toughness, shooting-range, and passing of Laimbeer and Miller over Joe Barely Cares. You have enough scorers.
