Hard to beat the Penny / T-Mac / Hill / Shaq combination, with all of them healthy and close to their primes.

[Who]

The Nets ...

 C: Brook Lopez, Dikembe Mutombo Derrick Coleman
PF: Derrick Coleman Kenyon Martin, Buck Williams
SF: Bernard King, Richard Jefferson
SG: Vince Carter, Drazen Petrovic
PG: Jason Kidd, Steph Marbury

Honourable mention = Buck Williams, Kenny Anderson, Keith Van Horn, Kerry Kittles.

I feel bad not having Buck Williams in there. Gave D.Coleman the nod based on overall talent. K-Mart the nod because he anchored (in the paint) that Nets team that made 2 Finals.

Edit: I am going to change out Mutombo. He was old during his NJ stay and Buck Williams deserves a spot on this team. So I am going to move Derrick Coleman to backup center.

My initial thought was the Thunder/Sonics, but I didn't look at enough for depth purposes, but a starting 5 of Payton, Westbrook or Allen, Durant, Kemp, and Sikma has to be up there. Did a quick look and I think they don't have enough overall depth on the bench (aside from Allen or Westbrook)? 

Don't forget Ellis, Schrempf, Chambers, etc.

Detroit Pistons

 C: Bob Lanier, Ben Wallace
PF: Dennis Rodman, Rasheed Wallace
SF: Grant Hill, Adrian Dantley
SG: Joe Dumars, Rip Hamilton
PG: Isiah Thomas, Chauncey Billups

Are we playing in the era where you get called for a foul for breathing on someone or the era where if you tried the stuff the Bad Boys tried that someone would have killed you, or are we playing in a coked out era, where they stuff they did went down?

[Who]

I forgot the Toronto Raptors ... I think that is all the teams now.

 C: Antonio Davis, Jonas Valanciunas
PF: Chris Bosh, Marcus Camby
SF: Tracy McGrady, DeMar DeRozan
SG: Vince Carter, Doug Christie
PG: Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon

Honourable mention: Damon Stoudamire, TJ Ford, Charles Oakley, Kevin Willis, Mo Pete.

Kings

Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Cousins

Bench - Kevin Martin, Otis Thorpe, Brad Miller, Mitch Ritchmond, Reggie Theus


This is a fun team.

If you count the Royals, that team becomes a heck of a lot better with Robertson, Tywman, etc.

Can add in tiny archibald and Scotty wedman as well

The Pacers

 C: Rik Smits, Dale Davis
PF: Jermaine O'Neal, Detlef Schrempf
SF: Paul George, Ron Artest
SG: Reggie Miller, Danny Granger
PG: Mark Jackson, Don Buse

Not up to the mark of some of the other teams.

George mcginnis

This is a cool read!  Tp for start of this thread

[Quetzalcoatl]

The Pacers

 C: Rik Smits, Dale Davis
PF: Jermaine O'Neal, Detlef Schrempf
SF: Paul George, Ron Artest
SG: Reggie Miller, Danny Granger
PG: Mark Jackson, Don Buse

Not up to the mark of some of the other teams.

If they were playing with today's rules and coach styles, I would almost want to go Paul George at the 4 and Ron Artest at the 3.  I don't think people remember how good prime Artest was.  Those two would be downright beastly together. 

[Dino Pitino]

The Pacers

 C: Rik Smits, Dale Davis
PF: Jermaine O'Neal, Detlef Schrempf
SF: Paul George, Ron Artest
SG: Reggie Miller, Danny Granger
PG: Mark Jackson, Don Buse

Not up to the mark of some of the other teams.

George mcginnis

Mel Daniels, too.

[BornReady]

Portland Trailblazers

 C: Bill Walton, Arydas Sabonis
PF: Maurice Lucas, Rasheed Wallace
SF: Cliff Robinson, Scottie Pippen
SG: Clyde Drexler, Brandon Roy
PG: Terry Porter, Damian Lillard


A lot of competition at that PF slot = Buck Williams. LaMarcus Aldridge. Brian Grant. Mychal Thompson (PF/C).  And at SG = Geoff Petrie, Jim Paxson, Sidney Wicks.

beat me to the trailblazers

[BornReady]

My initial thought was the Thunder/Sonics, but I didn't look at enough for depth purposes, but a starting 5 of Payton, Westbrook or Allen, Durant, Kemp, and Sikma has to be up there. Did a quick look and I think they don't have enough overall depth on the bench (aside from Allen or Westbrook)? 

Since I live in Cleveland, I will do the Cavs, even though I know they aren't the best, I have to give them some love.

PG - Mark Price, Kyrie Irving, Terrell Brandon
SG - World B. Free
SF - Lebron James
PF - Kevin Love, Larry Nance, Hot Rod Williams
C - Mark Daugherty, Zydrunas Illgauskas

So there is my 10, not the most balanced team because the SG's and SF's for the Cavs are terrible (outside of James), but I think that would be a fairly well crafted team with excellent shooters around James and solid interior defense from Daugherty and Big Z.

i disagree with thunder/supersonics
if u had both
it would make a solid team - that backcourt rotation

PG - Gary payton - Nate McMillan
SG- Russell westbrook - James Harden
SF- Kevin Durant - Ray allen
PF- Shawn kemp - Serge Ibaka
C- Jack Sikma - Spencer Haywood
