Whats the best 'Big 3' you could build with current players?

Seems like that's the direction the league is headed. But the issue is that they have to fit together. Miami's Big 3, as talented as they are, don't really fit together as well as some other Big 3's. This is largely due to all of them being ball dominant and great iso players. Miami's halfcourt offense is atrocious but their defense and elite fast break masks that. I think the proposed Brooklyn Big 3 of Howard, Joe Johnson, and Deron Williams would fit together much better. That said, my Big 3:

Chris Paul - floor general, can score if needed, good defender despite size (lots of steals)

Kevin Durant - best pure scorer in the game but he sn't dependent on having the ball in his hands (great catch-and-shoot guy), not elite defensively but he has the length to give guys problems (ask Kobe).

Dwight Howard - best defensive player in the game. Will get tons of boards and protect the rim. Getting better offensively, but as a 3rd option he will do fine.

Give them a great wing defender like a Sefolosha and a stretch 4 like a Ryan Anderson and those pieces would fit together very well.

there is no point of having a PG if you are also choosing Lebron.

A stretch 4 and Dwight would be ideal, imo.

Lebron

Dirk

Dwight

Any "best Big 3" that doesn't include Lebron is just hating for the sake of hating at this point. How is the league and finals MVP, not on every single list?

My best big 3:

Lebron
Durant
Howard

Lebron dominates the ball, Durant is the shooter/scorer that Lebron dishes to, Howard does his thing inside and on defense.

You could put smush parker and brandon roy on crutches out there with those 3 and win a championship.

I'm torn between CP3 and LeBron, but I like Durant-Dwight. I probably take LeBron for defense.

In my opinion, there are two players that are absolute no brainers:

1. LeBron James
2. Dwight Howard

It's that 3rd player that makes it a little more interesting. I'm torn between Durant and Paul, but because age and health favour Durant, I'd prefer him over Paul. So, that being said:

SF Durant
PF James
CC Howard

Rondo
Durant
Howard

Rondo is the best passing PG in the league and he doesn't even have to produce anything else but a boatload of assists. Add a PF with a mid range J and a 3 point scrub and it's game over.
