PG: Marcus Smart (1$)
SG: Ray Allen (3$)
SF: Larry Bird (5$)
PF: Kevin Garnett (4$)
C: Ed Macauley (2$)


Not sold on Macauley. Might want to switch him out with Bill Walton (but that's only 14).

I'm not gonna lie. I mostly just want to see Smart and KG on the same team. I feel like Bird, Allen, and KG would space the floor wonderfully, and give Smart room to thrive with tons of space to penetrate and dish. The defense would be suffocating, and the offense would be insane. Honestly, I like Smart with KG better than Rondo with anyone else, even though Rondo is a better player at this point. You can't pair Rondo and Bird (for example) because you'll end up with the problems Dallas has right now.
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

C Russell
SF Bird

two of the top 10 players of all time.  Worth the 10 bucks

PG Tiny
SG Ainge
PF Maxwell

I was leaning towards this team as well, but as long as you have both those guys, your combination will be better than any other team without those two.

Also, in my opinion, it's more likely they're 2 of the top 5 players all time.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

I agree with that statement but I figure saying top "10" would lead to less arguing the point of the selection.

Hard to pass up that five. Can use Cedric and Bird interchangeably at the forward slots. Tiny at $1 may be the best bang for the buck out there.

P.S. A Russ-Garnett frontcourt would be absolutely terrifying for opponents. Holy cow. Add Reggie, Ainge, and Tiny, and that's another ridiculously good lineup.
