Must be true, if it's a rumor you read on Hoopshype.

Assuming weak benches, no high draft choices, and healthy (the three things that would mean you end up playing these players the great majority of the minutes) . . . .


Team 3 would be my first choice. They are all reasonably young, good defense at the 1 and 3, very efficient scoring at the forward spots, and generally the team with the biggest upside and the fewest weaknesses.


Team 1 is very close as they have outstanding play at the 1 and 3 with a very solid interior with Chandler and Aldridge. However, I don't see as much potential for improvement as Chandler is playing about as well as he can without significant changes to his game, Pierce is aging, and I don't ever see McCants as more than a reserve scorer/marginal starter type. However, Deron, Aldridge and Chandler is a nice core.

Team 2 has Chris Paul. West and Granger are nice players but I don't see either as improving much over this year. Miller is having a career year but he isn't young either. As for Petro, he is a major step below Okafor and Chandler. (thanks)

Pierce and Deron would be pretty hard to stop.

Disregarding Bench I always go with the best star C or best star PG

That eliminates Rondo PG team.

Then you have Deron wiht Pierce and Chandler at C [who we know works well with a great PG]

Or Paul with West at PF, and Petro at Center. The NO offense is pretty much right there with this team, but I don't think they'd be able to get it done defensively with Petro at Center, and they're ball movement would be limited with mostly either Paul or West having the ball.

I think team A not only has the best 1/5 combo. But would have the best ball movement with both Deron and Pierce beign able to pass and Chandler/Aldridge know their roles on their respective teams for spacing concerns.

What bothers me about Team 3 however is their lack of perimeter shooters. Both Boozer and Melo have solid midrange games but they both work better / are more effective in the post. There's also not a single player on that team I would trust with taking a 3-pointer =/

I kind of like Team 3 but the first would just blow the others away on offense.

Team A has the best mix.
Miller and West is not enough help for Paul to win this and Team C lacks a play maker.
