    The Celtics they won in 2008 with a slightly past prime KG and Ray Allen.

    Imagine 2004 Garnett

    2008 Pierce

    2005 Ray Allen

    Current Rondo

    Celtics would win in the east and hawks would be a close second with T-mac and Jerry Stack house in primes.

    Lakers or Mavericks would win in the west. I think Mavericks would have the upper hand in the west because they would have Prime Vince Carter AND Prime Kidd along with Dirk Nowitzki.

    Lakers don't have Shaq or Fisher anymore and I doubt even a prime Kobe could lead the lakers to championships without these players. Ron Artest is a stable clutch player so I don't see him contributing much.
