Tony Lam

Kinda newer school vs older school (players in prime). Which team would you take?

team 1:

SG: Kobe Bryant

SF: Lebron James

PF: Kevin Garnett

C: Tim Duncan

team 2:

PG: John Stockton

Which team and why?

Also which team has the better starting 5?

Nets: D Will, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, KG , Brook Lopez

Pacers: George Hill, Paul George, Danny Granger, David West, Roy Hibbert

Kinda like the Texas vs Cali but it's LA vs Texas without Dirk.

LA:

PG: Cp3, Nash

SG: Kobe, Jamal Crawford/JJ Reddick

SF: Jared Dudley, Matt Barnes/Nick Young

PF: Blake Griffin, Jordan Hill

C: Pau Gasol, Deandre Jordan

Texas:

PG: Tony Parker, Jeremy Lin

SG: James Harden, Manu Ginobili

SF: Kawhi Leonard, Chandler Parsons

PF: Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter/Boris Diaw

C: Dwight Howard, Omer Asik

Which team would you take, and which starting 5?

Which one would you take?

Which team would you take in a best of 7?

Cali:

PG: Chris Paul, Steph Curry

SG: Kobe Bryant, Jamal Crawford/Redick

SF: Andre Iggy, Klay Thompson/Harrison Barnes

PF: Blake Griffin, David Lee

C: Demarcus Cousins, Pau Gasol

Texas:

PG: Tony Parker, Jeremy Lin

SG: James Harden, Manu Ginobili/Monta Ellis

SF: Kawhi Leonard, Chandler Parsons

PF: Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki

BQ: Which starting 5 is better ?

Which lineup would you take for now, and if this was your team for the next 10 years, which one would you rather have?

Team 1:

PG: Kyrie Irving

SG: Klay Thompson

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

PF: Anthony Davis

C: Greg Monroe

Team 2:

PG: Kemba Walker

SG: Ben Mclemore

SF: Paul George

PF: Anthony Bennent

C: Nerlens Noel

If you had to pick out of these two, which offense is better?

Team 1:

1. Mike Trout CF

2. Derek Jeter SS

3. Buster Posey C

4. Robinson Cano 2B

5. Albert Pujols 1B

6. Alex Rodriguez DH

7. Curtis Granderson LF

8. Chase Headley 3B

9. Ichiro RF

Team 2:

1. Yasiel Puig RF

2. Dustin Pedroia 2B

3. Adrian Gonzalez 1B

4. David Ortiz DH

5. Hanley Ramirez SS

6. Matt Kemp CF

7. Yadier Molina C

8. Andre Either LF

9. Juan Uribe 3B

Which lineup would you take?

Let's say you had to pick one of these two, and he was gonna be on your team for the next 10-15 years and hit either 3rd or cleanup for you, would you take Puig or Harper?

If these guys were a lineup together, would they end up with the best offense in the MLB?

1. Derek Jeter SS

2. Dustin Pedroia 2B

3. Mike Trout CF

4. Yasiel Puig RF/LF

5. Alex Rodriguez 3B

6. Yadier Molina C

7. Jason Heyward RF/LF

8. James Loney 1B

9. Ichiro DH

What do you guys think about their chance of 3 peating? I'd say under 50% because teams like Indiana(more experience now and Granger returning) and New Jersey got better and i think either one of those teams would take Miami to 7 games, and I think the Spurs will again take them to 7 if they meet in the finals. Also the fact that they've never had any serious injury problems and have been relatively lucky with their supporting cast showing up.

So over or under 50%?

Just a lineup. Would this be the best offensive lineup in MLB?

1. Everth Cabrera SS

2. Derek Jeter DH

3. Buster Posey C

4. Joey Votto 1B

5. Yasiel Puig RF

6. Brandon Phillips 2B

7. Andre Either LF

8. Chase Headley 3B

9. some scrub

This is the roster that'll play in the 2014 olympics. No Lebron, no Durant, no Kobe, no big names. Obviously that'll change by the 2016 olympics but say this was the team representing the US in 2016, could they beat a Spain led by Marc and Pau Gasol or a Argentina?

Probable roster:

PG: , Kyrie Irving, Damien Lillard, John Wall

SG: Paul George, Klay Thompson, Kemba Walker

SF: Kawhi Leonard, Bradley Beal

PF: Kenneth Faried, Derrick Favors

C: DeMarcus Cousins, Andre Drummond

Theres other PG's like Ty Lawson, Mike Conley and Jrue Holliday but i doubt their gonna carry 7 PG's on the team.

Anyways, could that team beat a Spain team with players like Ricky Rubio and the Gasol brothers?

First off i hate Miami, but i think in 2014 (when Lebron becomes a free agent), It'll be tough for them to convince him to come back because Wade will be 33 (and most likely not a 20 PPG scorer anymore), and Bosh doesn't seem like a legit 1-2 punch to help Lebron win a title.

My question is, to all you Miami fans, would you want to trade Wade and Bosh and try to clear cap space to sign a superstar to pair with Lebron, or would you trade them away to get young talent, or try to get another superstar in his prime to play with Lebron?

These are just some random trades i thought of, yeah there kinda wack, didn't compare salary, but would you do any of them?

Trade 1: Bosh for Gasol. Gives Lakers a good player in his prime, Miami gets a good player with 20 million dollars clearing next year.

Trade 2: Wade,Bosh and Mike Miller for Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Tony Allen.

Memphis gets offense and a lineup of Conley, Wade, Prince, Bosh, find a center

Miami gets bigger and better defensively: Chalmers, Tony or Ray Allen, Lebron, Randolph, Gasol

Trade 3: Wade and Bosh for Josh Smith(sign n trade) and Al Horford

ATL lineup: Jeff Teague, Wade, Korver, Bosh, Pachulia

Miami: Chalmers, Ray Allen, Lebron, Smith, Horford

Trade 4: Bosh, Chalmers and Mike Miller for Demarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans

Miami lineup: Tyreke Evans, Wade, Lebron, Haslem, Cousins

Any of those would help Miami if it could happen?

I am NOT HATING on Lebron. Hes the BEST player in the NBA.

But how come to me always in late games, Lebron either passes away the ball or misses bad jumpers. It almost seems at times he dissapears late in games, whereas players like Durant or Kobe would almost always be the key to their team scoring.

Anybody got a logical explanation for this?

Nash missed games, Kobes out, MWP missed games, Gasol missed games, D12 missed games, Steve Blake missed games, Meeks missed games, Jordan Hill is out the whole year.

Pretty much their whole original 8 out of 9 man rotation has been out for the year, or been out, had surgery, is gonna have surgery.

I've watched the lakers for like 15 years and i've never seen more than like 3-4 players hurt in a year, and we got like 10 this year.

Do you blame Dantoni for his system and over playing players? Or do you blame bad luck?

I was looking at rumor sites, and i saw literally every possibility for these 2.

I heard amnesty Pierce and his contract.

Trade Pierce and KG together to a low salary cap team to relieve cap room.

KG is gonna retire, and Pierce will have his contract bought out.

What do you guys thinks gonna happen ?

If it wern't for his injury proneness, i would put Curry as an elite PG, the same category as Tony Parker, Deron Williams, Cp3 and etc. would you guys say hes elite or a tier down ?

What do the Lakers have to do to compete next season, or at least be the most competitive that they can be? Real answers please, we know Lebron and CP3 aren't going to be a Laker next year.

I got a couple of ideas, do you guys agree and think any of them would make LA better? Of course resigning D12 is the priority, but what after that?

Try to trade Pau Gasol and his wanted expiring contract for a more younger athletic small/power forward and a backup shooter (kinda like getting players like Jeff Green and Kyle Korver)

Trade Steve Nash for a 1st round pick and draft a quick PG to back up Steve Blake (make Blake the starter)

Or fire Dantoni and get another coach and try to win with this same nucleus of players (Nash, KB, P16, D12)?

So blow up the team, or try to go at it again next year with probably a couple better role players ?

Are the Bucs a playoff team next season? I got them 10-6 making the 6th wild card spot. What do you guys think ?
