'15 NBA Draft/Offseason Thread

Brand is definitely an all-time Clipper.

 

Ron Harper?

 

Eh.

 

I should have included Brand and Bob McAdoo, and maybe Loy Vaught and Corey Maggette. They also had a lot of good players who had short stints with the franchise when they and/or the team sucked, like Pooh Richardson, Sam Cassel, Ron Harper, Bill Walton

 

Vaught is up there. Worker bee.

 

Yeah. And in our hypothetical rosters here, I imagine that much like the playoffs, it's more important to have a really strong top five, top seven or eight, than a top 12. In our hypothetical series, only the top 8 or 9 would probably be getting major minutes.

 

Sacramento is probably worse than the clippers. Orlando too. Who would be Denver? Carmelo, English...?

 

Wait, so put friggin Ernie D from their Buffalo era, but NOT Bob McAdoo? Please re-think what you just wrote.

 

I went back and added McAdoo and others in a later post. That what I get from trying to work from memory.

 

Kiki, Fat Lever.

 

Not if you use the same ground rules as the guy who listed the Clippers and include their entire franchise history. Remember the Kings were the Cincinnati Royals, which means you get prime Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lucas.

 

Orlando could be pretty stout.
Early Shaq and Dwight Howard is a beastly front court, and you can throw Horace Grant in there as well, as the dirty work guy. Penny and Dennis Scott at the guard spots gives you a solid starting five. Then you add Tracy McGrady, Nick Anderson and an effective Scott Skiles off the bench ... I mean, they're not beating a Celtics or Lakers all-time team, but they'd do pretty well for themselves. Not bad for a franchise that's not even 30 years old.
