Looking at that team, do Colangelo and Lebron have an argument about it's merits versus the Dream Team?

Yeah I was thinking of Bosh being replaced with Love, myself. |

Dream Team In their prime players Jordan Pippen Barkley Malone Stockton Robinson Ewing Drexler (I am being generous putting him here instead of below) Past their prime Bird Magic Mullin Never had a Prime Lattener New team Prime LeBron Wade Durant Rose (still has room to grow but if you are winning MVP's you are in your prime) Carmelo Howard Reaching their prime Love Griffin Past their Prime Kobe Never had a Prime Chandler The Dream Team has a huge advantage at the SG and PF positions the new team is better at PG and thats about it. SF and C can be a wash depending on if Dwight Howard can step up to the increased pressure of this series. I will still take the Dream Team because of the Jordan factor and the faith I have that Pippen would absolutely shut down LeBron but I think its fairly close. |

I think at this stage in his career Chauncey Billips is still a better PG than Eric Gordon. I'm not saying Gordon isn't good and can't be very good one day, but I'd sooner have Billips running my team. @Spmack: I think you could move Bosh to the 5 spot to relieve howard. |

Gordon would be more help for them at SG. |

I think Chauncey is easily the worst player on the list. The team has enough PGs and needs a guy like Gordon on the team. |

If I'm coaching, here are my lineups: Starting 5: C - Howard PF - Durant SF - James SG - Bryant PG - Rose 2nd Unit: C - Bosh PF - Griffin SF - Anthony SG - Wade PG - Paul Reserves: PG - Chauncey Billups PF/C - Kevin Love PG/SG - Russell Westbrook |
