I'd keep Aldridge over Bosh and Love over Blake.

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

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.

And who's going to give Howard a breather? Love is a rebounder, but not really a defensive presence.

@RFDC: Yup. 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.

With the other PGs on the team I do not think you need Billups. 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.

No, that would be Iguodala IMO.
