seems like Marc Gasol is trending here.

Also notice a lot of you are high on James Harden. I've seen him have off nights defensively. Just my .02

I took Manu as a distributor. That was an offensive choice. I have enough Defensive players on my roster to carry whatever gap Manu leaves behind.

Basically I chose the best defensive guard and post out there. Took two trigger men, and a vet that can carry a team with his hatred for losing. That ought to be enough, but hey, this is all hypothetical anyway.

2. Avery Bradley - Match him with whoever the opponent puts at the point.
5. Marc Gasol - In my 2/3 Zone, I'd leave him in the middle
3. Manu Ginobli - Plays the right wing of the Zone
4. Kobe Bryant - Plays the left
1. Stephen Curry - Leave him out against their 2 guard.

6th man would be 4/5 Roy Hibbert

If you can score 60 on that squad you'd be lucky.

What I didnt score in fast break points, I'd make up for in swing passing to one of the 3 killers I have out on the perimeter. If I get stuck with going against Man coverage, we'd pick and roll off Roy Hibbert.

Base Defense would be 2/3 Zone , then box and 1.

Really not sure if serious

Who was the best defensive guard you are alluding to?

So your prototypical 4 isn't Kobe Bryant?

That's not even the worst. If you have any player you can take in the NBA, and your starting lineup has Avery Bradley in it, then you are borderline insane and that's before we even look at your 2/3 zone and Box and 1 defense.

Avery Bradley is pretty damn good at playing defense, and Kobe as my 4 is fine. Young Kobe is a 1 or 2. Old Kobe with another surgery is my 4 and sometimes a 3. I have plenty of speed elsewhere to not need him bringing up the ball. Rather him fit where I have him.

And who said anything about my offense having to be "traditional". I can run a 1 post set if I choose to.

There are plenty of players that are damn good at playing defense that do not shoot 40% and 31% from the field. Hell, Raymond Felton averaged 17 ppg against Boston. And I don't care how old Kobe is, he doesn't fit at the 4 under any circumstances.

This! Harden is really good, but I don't really like him. I picked Andre, because he is versatile.

So inconsistent though. Harden is too inconsistent for my liking too, however. Not bashing the pick just wondering why.

If I could have Lebron and Durant...

PG Lebron James
SG Paul George
SF Kevin Durant
PF Lamarcus Aldridge
C Roy Hibbert

A line up of 6'8, 6'9, 6'9, 6'11 and 7'2 would suffice.

If you have LeBron, you have to do as you did and not have a guy that gets a lot of assists as a PG (in your case you just made LeBron the PG). Also, a LeBron team needs shooters, shooters, shooters, and every position needs to be able to space the floor. With that said give me:

PG: Curry
SG: LeBron
SF: Durant
PF: Love
C: Gasol

No team could ever keep up with a lineup with that spacing.

I'll let you have Lebron and I'll keep Durant.

I hate losing Curry :( but how about...

PG: James Harden
SG: Paul George
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Lamarcus Aldridge
C: Roy Hibbert

vs.

Steph Curry
Lebron James
Kevin Love
Marc Gasol

Who ya got for your 5th? :)

I always said I would have just let Harden run the point and trade Westbrook if I was the Thunder and could only keep one. And having watched Paul George and Roy Hibbert play with George Hill as their point guard, I've come to the realization they don't need one and George Hill isn't really a point guard anyways. Paul George is a good passer and plays with the ball in his hands a lot of the time anyways. And Roy Hibbert, they give it to him down low and let him work for a hookshot or when defenders cave which they do a lot, he's a good passer and kicks it out for open 3's. Not so much in the Miami series though, they're determined to work the paint. Harden, George and Durant are all good with the ball in their hands and all of them could pass so no point guard needed :)
