Sorry have to disagree with some of your picks.
Carter and JJ over Bosh?
Amare over Melo and Bosh?

I would take Durant and Granger over Carter and JJ in a heartbeat right now.

Exactly i dont get how people continue to put D howard over Wade, i can understand the starting new franchise etc, but Any Gm would want Wade on their team before Howard.

Carmelo is the most underrated player in the NBA.

This. And putting Rondo in the top 20 is a joke. And I absolutely love his game, but he's not there yet.

What's with Vince making so many lists? I'd definitely take Joe Johnson and Iguodala over him at this point, and both those guys haven't been on a lot of these lists (though I don't think Iguodala is top-20 either).
