Post#1 » by wezbo » Fri Jan 11, 2008 6:14 am

Tim Duncan/Kwame Brown
Zach Randolph/Jason Collins
Ricky Davis /Brian Cook
Michael Jordan/JR Smith
Smush Parker/Von Wafer

coach: Isaah Thomas

at first it atcually looks like a good team, but can they win with a horrible bench, and 3 cancers in their starting linup

I'd say yes as well..Jordan-Duncan have 10 titles combined, and they would be playing together, so they would obviously bring leadership and experience to the team..

the players you listed aren't bad, except for Smush, obviously..Randolph has been a 20-10 player..he doesn't play D, but he would be getting tons of offensive opportunities with Jordan and Duncan on the floor, and he's already a good rebounder..Ricky Davis would be the 4th scoring option, which is great for him..

Smush Parker wouldn't really have to do anything, just make open shots..

Kwame Brown can play post D and dunk, which is good enough..Collins can play post D, so that's all he would have to do playing alongside Duncan or even Randolph..Smith and Cook just hit 3's..

I've never seen Von Wafer play, so I won't comment..

I don't think Isiah would have to do much coaching with Jordan and Duncan on the floor..Duncan would get his teammates involved, and MJ would smack them if they **** around..

They would definitely win a championship. They are like a better version of the Celtics.

The *team* is worthy of a ring. The team would have deadly low post scoring (TD/ZBo) and the guard GOAT and ultimate clutch guy MJ. JR Smith off the bench is not bad, too.

I am more concerned about Isiah's incompetence, but wtf, they have the ultimate player-coach in MJ and the ultimate team player with TD, they will mercilessly weed out the cancers.

EDIT: Kwame Brown and MJ on the same team? Wow, I would pay to see what MJ tells Kwame when they are alone in the same room. :lol:

lol how long until he misses Marbury and trades Jordan + Duncan +5 unprotected 1sts for Marbury + Jerome James?

Seriously though this team would win the 'ship with ease

Jason Collins
Ricky Davis
JR Smith
Smush Parker

or

Kwame Brown
Zach Randolph
Brian Cook
Michael Jordan

randolph is not a good role player he would have the potential to ruin that team.

i think if that gm would trade randolph for more depth they'd def be a dynasty.

Yes Jordan and Duncan can save it, and if you meant both players in their prime on the same team, id say they win a championship every yr.

But according to Laker fans on this forum...Bynum can save that team in a couple of years :D .

What a ridiculous question. Jordan and Duncan is guaranteed to win the championship year after year regardless of the supporting cast and/or coaching staff. GOATs win in the NBA, not supporting cast or coaching staff.

Don't have to worry about IT since Jordan won't listen to him anyway. MJ is the real coach on that team.
