 Regardless of defense what's the strongest offensive 5 we could play together.

 I'll say

 Thomas
 Bradley
 Hunter
 Sully
 Amir or Kelly

Lee really did well today are you sure you would replace him with Sully?  I mean he had 13 points was +22 Eff and seven boards to Sully's 14 points  +5 Eff and 4 boards.

Also sometimes when you play the strongest offensive five, you will lose because it never really helped PHOE win a title when they had a 120+ scoring team.   I think we can have one weak link in this five at the most.

Would be mine, they also would not give up huge defensive lapses

Thomas
Bradley
Turner ( when healthy)
Lee
Amir

 Yeah Celtics the question is Just offense, but I do agree with David Lee, his passing makes him an excellent addition to any offensive lineup.

Isaiah
Bradley
Hunter
Lee
Olynyk

Offense at every position; they'd lose every game 150-160.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

IT - Bradley - Smart - Lee - Amir

Ideally the team would have a wing with size who can really shoot.  Put him out there at the 3 with Smart and IT in the backcourt.  Lee and Amir do all the rebounding and finishing, and also provide passing.

David Lee is the best offensive center. He played great there under D'Antoni years ago.

The SF position (Turner, Crowder) is limited scoring wise so I agree with PhoSita that going small with a three guard backcourt of Smart, Bradley and I.Thomas is the best perimeter grouping.

I would go with Jerebko or Olynyk as my PF depending on whether Olynyk is being aggressive or not looking for his shot. I would choose Jerebko over Olynyk due to improved defensive capacity & consistency of play.
