I'd love for the 2002-03 Cavs team to be in the game. That's more or less my favorite team ever.

 Delonte West is definitely not on the same level as Samardo Samuels, Christian Eyenga, and Manny Harris. He's an above average defender, pretty consistent shooter from mid-range and streaky shooter from three. Plus, good teams actually want him, which you probably couldn't say about Samuels, Eyenga, and Harris.They didn't "lose" Mo Williams and Jamario Moon, they traded them to the Clippers for Baron Davis. Baron Davis, IMO is better than Mo Williams and is arguably one of the best PGs in the game when he's all-in. That's just been Davis' issue, he can be a top 5-10 PG one week or 3, and be bad the next. Just inconsistent.
 
 As for Jamario Moon and Delonte West, they were just replaceable bench guys. I mean, They're essentially the same guys as Samardo Samuels, Christian Eyenga, and Manny Harris.
 
 The Cavs need to get rid of guys like Boobie "I practice with Channing Frye in the offseason" Gibson. Seriously, that guy just chucks up threes with no regard for shooting percentage.Comment

 The Cavs weren't worst of all time bad, they still had good wins over the Lakers and Celtics if I remember correctly.
 
 Just looked at their schedule, they did manage to beat a few playoff teams - Celtics, Lakers, Sixers (x2), Grizzlies, Knicks (x3), and the mighty Heat. Record-wise they weren't even the worse team last year (T'Wolves), though they might have the weaker roster. But the fact that they didn't even finish w the worse record in a season pretty much kills any argument for them as the worse team of all time IMO.Comment

 Re: NBA 2K12: What About the Worst of the Worst?
 
 So you're saying a guy who took Boobie Gibson and Sasha Pavlovic as starters in the backcourt to the Finals couldn't get 40 wins with Anderson Varejao (one of the best defensive bigs in the NBA), Antawn Jamison and Baron Davis?Comment

 Question is how much would you have to pay players to be a part of the "worst" teams of all timesComment

 No.
 
 If you read it, you'd see that I was saying Cleveland would not get 40 wins with their current squad without LeBron.Comment

 1992-93 Dallas Mavericks
 
 They went 11-71 w/ Derek Harper, Rookie Jimmy Jackson, Rookie Sean Rooks, and Terry Davis leading the way.
 
 They also had Tim Legler and original NBA Jam player Mike Iuzzolino.Comment

 Re: NBA 2K12: What About the Worst of the Worst?
 
 Haha.
 
 I dunno. I mean, I guess 40 wins isn't that outrageous given the bottom feeders are capable of getting being an 8th seed with that many wins.
 
 And they were capable of beating "elite/good" teams (Lakers, Heat, and Knicks during the season) when playing at the level they're expected of playing.Comment

 Wasn't that also the year the Bulls paid Eddie Robinson like 32 mil lol. I actually liked himhttp://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/2000.html
 
 99-2000 Chicago Bulls get my vote. Though the 1999 lockout season was just as bad, the Bulls this year were consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of the league averages (28th in ppg) and the 2nd worst record in the NBA (beating out the Clippers).
 
 It also didn't help when Will Perdue had the highest paid contract that year.What if signatures didn't mean anything?Comment

 Great Thread. My vote: 1998-99 Detroit Pistons. It wasn't so much that they were the worst record-wise, or that they were notably/historically putrid, but they represented the complete dearth of interesting and dynamic players/teams in the NBA during the entire latter half of the 90's and early 2000's...just so generic and vanilla that no one, even the most die-hard 'Stones fan like myself, could ever get excited about them. I mean, they were desparately grasping to try to surround their one player - Grant Hill - with a cast that included a year-from-retirement-Joe Dumars (who already had one foot in the front office at that point), a still-learning Lindsey Hunter and Stackhouse, and then a hilariously overmatched collection of journeymen even the most die-hard NBA fan would have trouble recognizing, including Bison Dele (nee Brian Williams, RIP), Corey Beck, Jud Buechler, Steve Henson, Don "The Chief" Reid, and Mikki Moore...but then, to top it all off, they collected this nucleus of guys-that-you-primarily-remember-from-college that were totally non-descript pros including Christian Laettner, Eric Montross, Loy Vaught, and Charles O'Bannon. Oh, and that year we joined the "draft a high school kid" craze by taking Korleone Young...
 
 The best part was that the team tried desperately to market to fans by forcing Jerome "Junkyard Dog" Williams down your throat as the team's de facto mascot, including "JYD" merchandise and a special, $20 seat section called "the Junkyard", which was even in effect for the playoffs!!!! I actually attended a Pistons-Hawks first-round playoff game for a $20-spot I had in my pocket and sat in the Junkyard. That was as depressing and moribund of a playoff game, in any sport, that I've ever been to. There was more energy in the Oakland County Morgue than there was in the Palace that night.
 
 But I offer that as the Pistons' official selection for the all-crap team, because I distinctly remember playing NBA Live games on the PS1 using that team, and trying desperately to make it semi-interesting by trying to win the 3-point title with Bison Dele...spoiler: I came about 75 3's short of the leader that season....Last edited by pietasterp; 11-02-2011, 02:51 PM.Comment
