Ultimate NBA Team

[Greenwood]

Good topic for the start of the season.  Going with the cap http://hoopshype.com/salaries.htm assemble a team of nba players to win this year.  Do you go with mostly old guys for leadership or rookies to balance them off?  Do you use mostly celtics or do you like some players from other teams?

OK, I spent way too long on this, but I have formed an invincible basketball team all under the salary cap for a paltry $58,292,894. There's some serious filler at the bottom of the lineup, but those are the salaries listed on hoopshype, so I am running with em.

Al Jefferson $11,000,000
Kevin Durant $4,484,040

I think we are going to be seeing Leon Powe on a lot of these teams.  I am still working on mine should have it up soon.
