The 35+ Team 

Post#1 » by Laimbeer » Tue May 17, 2022 3:46 pm

Assumptions: I used the ages in BR. Only players who played in half of their games are eligible. Assume the player is at their physical peak *of this season*. If they were hobbled part of the season, judge them as they were in the healthier part.

How good are they?

Horford / Aldridge / Howard
Tucker / Gibson / Green
LeBron / Melo / Gay
Lowry / Matthews / Temple
Paul / Hill / Williams
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

Except Lakers had an injured AD and no veteran presence to compliment LeBron like CP3, Lowry, Horford, PJ Tucker, Matthews and Hill.

If they can magically stay healthy that's a solid play-off team but they probably lack the depth to make a real run at the title.

It's nothing special honestly. They can make the playoffs, but they'd be a lower tier team that's likely out in the 1st round.

I think they'd make at least the second round if all healthy. Solid 2 way team with star power in Bron and CP
