Re: If every NBA player was in his prime right now . . .

Pacers would be nice with Reggie, Dale Davis, and Croshere at their best
Blazers: Stoudamire, Van Exel, SAR, Z-Bo, Theo, Derek Anderson
Mavericks: Dirk, Darrell Armstrong, Jerry Stackhouse, KVH, Jason Terry, Alan Henderson, Finley, Dampier
If they played as a team Lakers: Kobe, Butler, Odom, Grant, Divac
Miami, as you listed.
Minnesota: KG, Cassell, Hudson, Szcerzbajbadiack, Spree, Ervin Johnson, Kandi Man
New York (surprisingly good): Penny, Allan Houston, Starbury, Kurt Thomas, Jerome Williams, Tim Thomas, Malik Rose
Houston: Vin Baker, Dikembe, Clarence (18 ppg in his prime! WTF!) Weatherspoon, Juwan Howard, David Wesley, TMac, Yao, (Patrick Ewing coming off the bench lol)
Magic: Stacey Augmon, Grant Hill, Steve Francis, Hedo Turkoglu, Pat Garrity
Sixers: Mashburn, Rodney Rogers (15 ppg), Iverson, Webber, Korver, Iguodala
Kings: Peja, Bibby, BJackson, Brad Miller, Corliss Williamson, Kenny Thomas, Cuttino Mobley
Raptors: Alvin Williams, Donyell Marshall, Jalen Rose, Eric Williams, MoPete, Lamond Murray (He was nice back in the day)

Wow. Most of these teams just have a helluva lot of money to be overpaying these old bums.

Holla

I would have bolded so many more of your players that you listed.. Come on.. if you're going to list the players.. atleast list some people who were actually good in the NBA. Henderson...? A. Williams..? Crosshere.. are you kidding me? How do you list him and davis and not list JOneal/Artest/Jackson?

Re: If every NBA player was in his prime right now . . .

haha Croshere and Alan Henderson might have been a stretch... and yes, I forgot some people on the Pacers... but I tried to go through as many teams as I could and list a nice nucleus of players, mostly of the older guys.

I apologize for my list not meeting your standards.

Re: If every NBA player was in his prime right now . . .

Assuming rookies "primes" are their peak potential? Oh god the Celtics would be amazing


Payton: Hall of fame PG
Pierce: 2002 Paul was as good a scorer as Tmac and Kobe, and better shooter
Ricky Davis: Who knows? He's still 25
Antoine: We'll just say an allstar
Raef: Healthy? Great leaping ability, shotblocker, can hit the outside shot

Al Jefferson: SUPERSTAR (He's gonna average 23, 12, 2 blocks soon)
Tony Allen: All star
Delonte West: Just below all star PG, if improves dribbling could be All Star
Marcus Banks: Talent is there to be an all star, we'll see if his head develops
Kendrick Perkins: Beast downlow. BEAST.
Mark Blount: How bout last year when he played for a contract? He had a 20-20 game
Justin Reed: Solid NBA SF. George Lynch in his prime with a better stroke.

Re: If every NBA player was in his prime right now . . .

Raef is as overrated as they come, although until I heard your assesment of him I hadn't heard about Raef all year. And wow guy, you must be really excited about your team. The only image I can conjure up when I think of Ricky Davis is the time he deliberately missed a layup so he could grab the rebound(the most shameless display of stat padding I've seen in a long time). The Celts are a #3 team in the east and a number #7 or #8 in the west. They'll probably get to the second round, but I don't really think they're capable of overtaking Miami or Detroit. On that note, they do have a solid core of young players and if they can keep Pierce and Walker and allow their younger players the chance to grow(i.e. giving Banks and West the playing time), I can see them being a contender in 2-3 years.

Re: If every NBA player was in his prime right now . . .

tmac has scored 32 points in a season before and i dont think he has hit his prime yet

Haha! You're kidding right? What you think, he can average 50 points per game? Get off McGrady's nuts. He's in his prime already.

Re: If every NBA player was in his prime right now . . .

He could be alot better if he wanted to. Some guys will just be content. But I think that TMac is already in his prime. That doesn't mean it's all downhill from here. It just means that he's playing at his highest level now. Meaning, he's playing his best all-around game possible. And if he can keep it up for 5-6 more years, he'll be well remembered.
