Give Lebron this team for his career.

Starting 5:

PG: George Hill
SG: Reggie Miller
Point-Forward - Lebron James
PF: PJ Tucker
C: Andrew Bogut

Bench

PG: Seth Curry
SG: Danny Green
SF: Otto Porter Jr
PF: Kelly Olynyk
C: Bismak Biyombo

This means he goes up against every team he faced on the way to the finals and same rules for that year.

Do they age or evolve in a similar career trend or do you take their peak/prime and healthy form? Bogut and Hill are too fragile for long term. If healthy prime, this is a perfect team for LeBron, easily dynasty.

People don't realize how good and well rounded Reggie actually was lol. Him and Bron together are an unreal cheat code. Seth Curry off the bench would be an enormous luxury

They age on a similar career trend.

It would be a very good team, great even, and more than capable of winning regular regular titles.

Reggie + LeBron would be lethal duo.

If Lebron started his career with this exact team he'd probably still get to 4 rings but he wouldn't win them in the seasons he did in reality.

Danny Green, Miller, Curry, and Tucker is way too much shooting for dead-ball-era defenses to contain. So LeBron probably wins a ring in 2006 and 2007.

He also probably wins another ring in 2011.

And he wins a 4th in 2015 without his team being decimated by injuries.

3-5 seems right given a 10-12 year run for this core.

Wasn't 2009 basically decided by shooting variance. Think he at least makes the final there. 2010 could see him getting past the celtics and the lakers were much weaker so he might have an even better chance there. Think you can also give him 08. Also not seeing why he wouldn't win in 2016 with an improved core.

Yeah I think the issue here is that there would be multiple years where they don't have a center because Bogut is injured.

If we're imagining a world where Lebron/Reggie get prime Milwaukee Bogut for a decent multi-year peak (along with Pacer Hill and peak Green and Curry) and that's probably a dynasty.

As is? they probably string together a couple of rings in the few years Bogut is healthy enough to play. I could see them making a run with a small ball lineup with PJ at center but that could face some difficulties.
