The all glass team?

This offseason I noticed that there are several guys out there with tremendous talent that can easily be had, but are such major injury concerns that they've lost all their value. If only we could turn off injuries like in a video game we could have a contending roster:

Bynum
Stoudemire
Granger
Gordon
Rondo

Of course if injuries weren't a concern none of these guys would be available anyway. It's just such a shame to see guys with that kind of talent waste away because they can't stay on the court.

Can you imagine if that roster could stay healthy? All of those guys could have been had for pennies on the dollar of what they are actually worth.

Rondo being included in this list makes absolutely zero sense.

Sub in Oden?



It would be really nice if he could find a way to salvage something out of his career. From the brief time I had to him play he seemed to play the right way.

Oversight by me.

It's not because he is often injured, it's because I was thinking of a Celtics roster you could have realistically built this offseason made up of oft injured players who are way more talented than their current value. There aren't any PGs better than him that would fit into the always injured category so I just left him.

By no means is it intended as a slight to Rondo, nor do I consider him to be "made of glass".

Delonte West is right there for the taking.

Funny that the Warriors' KEY pieces are the ones who got snubbed in the All Glass Team.

I mean, that team goes where Curry and Bogut takes them. Curry offensively and Bogut defensively.

Replace Rondo with Derrick Rose. I know, not realistic but who cares.
