    Sacramento would be OK, but probably middle of the road. Oscar Robertson, Webber, Mitch Richmond and Peja are clear nominees, and from there, you have a lot of guys who were above-average to fringe all-stars. Mike Bibby, Vlade, Brad Miller. I don't know enough about the non-Big O Cincy guys to know whether they'd displace some of the modern guys: Sacramento Kings All-Star Game Selections | Basketball-Reference.com

    Of the glory years, you get Willis, Clyde, Bradley, Pearl and Dave D. Maybe you add Barnett, but I don't think that Lucas or Cazzie make the cut. I think Ewing, King, Oakley, Melo and Houston are locks. Maybe two of Cartwright, Spree, Barnett and Mason.

    The Raptors would be bad. Carter, Stoudamire, Bosh, McGrady, Camby, DeRozan ????? The Grizzlies would beat them.

    Kyle Lowry probably sneaks in there. Three seasons with Toronto, one all-star berth. Antonio Davis made an all-star team one of his four years in Toronto, and although he spent six years playing for the Pacers, they probably wouldn't have him on their team because of better options. Camby only logged two years for the Raptors, but I doubt the Knicks need him. Six years on the Nuggets, so they might have him instead.

    The all-time leaderboard for the Raptors is pretty bleak though, you're right: Toronto Raptors Career Leaders | Basketball-Reference.com - Morris Peterson and Alvin Williams are in the Top 10 for minutes played. Jose Calderon, Doug Christie and Andrea Bargnani might be in their 12-man all-time rotation. Amir Johnson and Valanciunas are in their Top 10 for all-time rebounds, so I guess they're in too.

    I should definitely included Houston, and probably Oakley and maybe, maybe Melo.

    I'd put John Starks in there, too.

    John Starks, world-beater.

    This thread done gone off the tracks.

    Knick-jacked, even without Boom.

    I'd surely pick him over Sprewell.

    Isn't that like choosing herpes instead of syphillis?
