'15 NBA Draft/Offseason Thread

They wouldn't win it all in an all-time team challenge, but the Bucks could put out Kareem, Oscar Robertson, Sidney Moncrief, Jack Sikma and Terry Cummings.
Off the bench would be Dale Ellis, Junior Bridgeman, Brian Winters, Ray Allen and Bob Dandridge.

Pretty good all-time team for a franchise with one title 40+ years ago.

 

Should the Bucks be able to claim a guy like Dale Ellis who only spent like 2 seasons out of his 18 year career there?

Seems like maybe there should be some durational ground rules to this game.

 

Yeah, a more interesting thing to me might be who has the "worst" all-time team. Most of the long-running franchises have had enough quality players to put up pretty decent All-Time teams. The Cavs have never won a title, but can still run out Lebron, Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Irving, Boozer. The Wolvers have Cassell, Garnett, Kevin Love, Laettnar or Tom Gugliotta (above average PF), and some combination of Wallyworld, Ricky Rubio, Sprewell and Andrew Wiggins to round out the starting five and rotation. New Orleans Hornets / Pelicans and the Bobcats would probably be the worst, but they only have a decade or so in the bank.

 

Ask Mokeski.

 

Right behind Tony Wroten, says Sam Hinkie.

 

They can probably find someone better to sing the anthem. The Roots, Teddy Pendergrass.

 

Just thought about the Knicks. The only two guys who'd make their all-time team who weren't on the early '70s team are Ewing and Bernard King. Kind of sad, seeing they're an original franchise.

 

Carmelo is probably on the 12-man roster at least, no? I'd think Sprewell or Allan Houston might be as well.

 

Oakley too.

 

If we base it on a player's contribution while with the franchise, are there even 12 Clippers?

Griffin, Paul and Jordan joined by Danny Manning, Michael Cage, Randy Smith, Ernie D and World B. Free?

 

Cage had one of the great season finales of all time.

Lamar Odom was disappointing as a Clipper to most, I think, but he was still a good player. Also, Elton Brand was a monster with the Clippers, and that probably gets overlooked because he cratered seemingly the second he signed with the Sixers. While not a world beater, Chris Kaman made an all-star team as a Clipper and was an above-average center.
