Chris Paul
Arron Afflalo
Paul George
LaMarcus Aldridge
Anthony Davis

These aren't necessarily who I think are the 5 best individual players left but the best unit.

Pretty sure the OP said no Carmelo, no worries though.

PG-Chris Paul- best point guard in the L. Amazing passer, scorer, leader and defender. .339 Wins Produced/48min

SG- Kawhi Leonard - great defender and glue guy. Just gets the ball in the basket. Has shown the ability to shoot above average from 3 (although he is down this year) .248 Wins Produced/48

SF- Paul George - great defender and scorer. Amazing in the passing lanes. All around talent. (could swap positions with Kawhi depending on matchups) .197 Wins Produced/48

PF- Kevin Love- Best PF in the game. Best rebounder in the game. Amazing shooter. With how well he works with Rubio, i can't imagine what he could do with CP3. .331 Wins Produced/48

C-Anthony Davis- Wanted to pick Drummond but love Davis' overall game. Best shot blocker around. Will need his rim defense with Love playing PF. Pick and roll with CP3 would be unfair to other teams. .248 Wins Produced/48

just these 5 players alone (based of of them playing their normal amount of minutes per year) would total
CP3- 16.5 wins
Kawhi- 11.94 wins
George- 12.2 wins
KL- 15.64 wins
Davis- 13.28 wins
Equals= 69.56 wins. Obiviously this number is pretty high, and they will score/rebound less each based on all that talent on the floor, but i would conservatively guess in the 60 wins range if everyone plays around 70 games each.

Would win a chip against any team.

Guess I missed him completely.

Will replace him with Kyle Korver. For fit reasons.

great idea with Korver. He is playing so good this year and no one is talking about it. Korver, Westley Matthews and Batum are racking up wins this year on the DL.

The all injured team:

Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, Danilo Gallinari, Al Horford, Brook Lopez

Bench - Jrue Holiday, Nikola Pekovic, Eric Bledsoe, JJ Redick, Larry Sanders

I didn't count guys like Aldridge who haven't missed much time and who are due back soon.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

1. Goran Dradic or Rondo
2. Paul George
3. Jeff & Gerald Green rotation (ha!)
4. LaMarcus Aldridge
5. Drummond or Hibbert

crafty at the 1 and then size for days. the revolving greens at the 3 just adding inconsistency, explosiveness and excitement every night.

I would like to thank KG Living Legend and Boris Badenov for activating my OCD complex by listing their teams from Center down to Point Guard, instead of the standard Point Guard to Center format.  Thanks guys!

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

PG: Mike Conley, good all-around point guard
SG: Danny Green, 3&D Guy
SF: Paul George, the superstar
PF: Dirk Nowitzki, veteran closer
C: Joakim Noah, hustle-guy and defensive anchor

I'd go with that team to win a title, this season.

NICE!!!! TP! UNDEFEATED IN ANY PLAYOFF SERIES WHEN HEALTHY
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.
