Team "A"

PG: Nash/Calderon/Mo Williams
SG: Manu/Carter/Stackhouse
SF: Melo/Artest/Salmons
PF: Bosh/Blatche/Craig Smith
C: Okafor/Tyrus Thomas/Kurt Thomas

Team "B"

PG: Paul/Kidd/Felton
SG: Roy/Iverson/Barbosa
SF: Butler/Jefferson/Moon
PF: D. Howard/LMA/Hedo "Turkeyglue"
C: Amare/Kaman/Dampier

In terms of a 7 game series who would win and who has the better depth?

Team B in a landslide

I second Team B in a landslide.

Paul/Roy backcourt would be absolutely disgusting, nevermind the frontcourt guys AND the "glue guy" SF in Butler.

Thats a 70-win team right there.

Why do you have Dwight at PF and Amare at C? Dwight is a natural C, Amare is a natural PF. Also, Tyrus is way less of a C than Blatche.
Anyways, my money's on B. Dwight + Amare dominate Okafor + Bosh. I would worry about the lack of shooters in B's starting lineup, but they have some good shooters coming off the bench (Barbosa, Hedo and Iverson are all solid), so it's probably not a huge deal. Team B's bench also destroys team A's bench in general.

I prefer Team B at every position, including reserves. This one isn't even close.

I'll have to agree with consensus, Team B in a landslide.

lol @ Dwight and Amare versus Okafor and Bosh. Team B's backups in the post would, at worst, be as good as Team A starters. Kaman and Aldridge vs Bosh and Okafor.

Yep, Team B by a lot.

I think team B would win fairly easily.

Also, team B's second unit could compete decently with team A's starters:

A:
Nash, Manu, Melo, Bosh, Okafor

B:
Kidd, Iverson, Jefferson, LMA, Kaman


Even with starters vs. bench, team B probably has the advantage at SG and C. Team A has the better PG, SF and PF, and they'd win, but it wouldn't be a blowout.
