I'd say the one with Bosh.. Kaman is way better than Aaron Grey. KG is better than Bosh.. but not by much, well defensively yes but still I think team 1 would be better

Have to go with the K.G led team, after seeing what he's been able to do with Boston this season, no question got to take him over Bosh/Kaman. And Perkins isn't that far off defensively to Kaman.

KG. The interior defense simply isn't there with Bosh and Kaman.

Offensively Bosh is on par with KG.. obviously KG is better than him defensively.. still I think the gap between Kaman and Gray is way more noticible.. you guys are acting like a team of big men (Bosh, Perkins, Kaman) would be weak defensively.. the other spots are already good,a nd while KG would make it a GREAT team defensively .. Bosh's team isnt a slouch (since its the same damn team!)

Well Garnett is so much easier to run an offense through because his offense is much more varied than driving from the baseline to draw fouls, or setting up the jumper. He is also a top 5 passing 7 footer ever IMO.... that's invaluable.

Garnett is a lot more versatile on offense, which is why he isn't neutralized as easy as Bosh is by certain defenders. He can face up and drive like Bosh, shoot jumpers, but he can also get down low and dominate the post(like he is doing Detroit right now).

Bosh is a beast driving to the rim though.

It's basically KG vs. Kaman/Bosh. KG without a hesitation.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

^ Ditto. I think I'd prefer two really good players to 1 great and 1 so-so player. Went with Kaman/Bosh over KG/Gray. Kaman this season was awesome.

So the Celtics would be a better team with Bosh and Kaman instead of KG right now? I find that hard to believe.

Kaman/Bosh/Pierce/Allen/Rondo would be a pretty sick lineup..

Four scoring-minded players, though...

The defense and ball-movement wouldn't be the same without KG and Perkins. Not as compatible a team.
