Klay Thompson and Jabari Parker are the ideal wing guys for me with Rondo. Then a big that can rebound and play a little pick & pop (Sully could be that guy), and then a strong defensive center that can at least finish strong at the rim off of pick & rolls and alley-oops (I'm drawing a blank).

Deandre jordan and Larry sanders come to mind.

Cousins and Bosh sound good to me.

Anthony Davis.

But really just because I really want Anthony Davis on my team.

Playing rondo I probably pick  KD  over Lebrun because KD is the better shooter.

A healthy Ryan Anderson

I would not have expected that from you. He's a chucker who doesn't play defense.

On the plus side, he is 6'11.

Anyway dream scenario's gotta be KG, Ray, and Pierce, all circa 2008.


At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Durant, James, Davis. In that order.

A reasonably attainable player someday:

Demarcus cousins, Joakim Noah, Paul George, lamarcus Aldridge, al horford

LaMarcus and Noah.

These two, imo - "feel" Celtic, to me.

Ryan Anderson is not a chucker.  He may take a lot of shots, but he takes efficient shots.  He's not a good defender, but he seems to be have enough BBIQ to not be a huge liability on defense.

I've generally argued that a stretch four who can make threes at a solid rate is an ideal player to put beside Rondo, so I have supported the idea that Sullinger and Olynyk need to take a lot of threes this season (and the next) to see if they can develop into that sort of player.

Durant becuase it would be fun as heck to watch. 

(LBJ would be no slouch either.  I just think for entertainment purposes, I'd enjoy the Rondo/Durant combo more)

Agree with that sentiment. Noah seems like a player who would bleed green if we could ever nab him away from Chicago. And it would be really fun seeing the defense Noah and Rondo bring.

Durant for me.  I little bit younger than Lebron, and a better outside shooter.

Rondo, Wiggins, Durant, Sully, and whatever really good tall def center we can get sounds like a starting lineup I could would love watching.

I would love to pair him with Gerald Wallace and Jeff Green out of town for some picks!

my dream starting five would have to be rondo, oj mayo, rudy gay, jsmoov, deandre jordan.  constant running on offense and rondo could throw lobs all day. of course id like rudy and smith to take a pay cut. embiid/parker/wiggins would also be welcomed with open arms here
everyone got so sensitive after 9-11... thanks alot bin laden
