at any point in history for your team at this moment right now, who would it be? I don't want to hear answers like, "Jordan cuz he was the best". Try to put some thought into it and find a player who can help any weakness your team may have.For the Lakers, I'd have to pick Shaquille O'neal of 2000. Shaq and Kobe won three titles when Shaq was in his prime and Kobe was just about to enter it, imagine if they were both in their primes at the same time. The off court issues would probably be a little less hasty, seeing how they'd be the same age and the whold "big brother little brother" issue wouldn't be a problem. Also, Kobe's matured a great deal in the last year, I don't think the two would have any big problems.
For the Lakers I'd take Wilt so him and Kobe can score 181. Actually I'd take KG, good triangle fit, very versatile and we need a big to balance scoring, even though he's not much of a post up guy.
Id play magic, Kobe has a lot of respect for him, theyd bond well together, Magic was also a very versatile player and could take Kwame Brown and Smush Parkers positions.
Bob Cousy because the Celtics are lacking a playmaking and pure point guard that does more than just score.
Hakeem Olajuwon, we'd have post presence we've never had in a while. Great guy to complement with Gil.
Pistons would love to take a dynamic scoring swingman. But, incase we don't sign Big Ben back, like Zards said, Hakeem Olajuwon would be perfect.
I'm picking Tracy Mcgrady from his days with the Magic. The Magic these days need a shooting guard that can shoot, drive, and run, and Mcgrady could do all three. He would definately stretch the defense with his ability to shoot, giving Howard alot of room to work down low. He would fit perfectly with Nelson and would give Nelson a person down low or on the wing to feed the ball to. With that version of him on this team, i think we would be contenders in the East these days.
Im choosing Wilt Chamberlain back from his days as a Sixer. He would bring us a big post presence which we lack and bring us a huge amount of rebounds which we could also use. If we had Wilt to play along w/ AI I think we could be a contende for the championship. Him and AI could be incredible together.
I would take a shooter for sure. For me it would be Larry Bird. One of the best shooters ever and is clutch. Another scorer who can take pressure off of 'Melo.

I don't think there's anyone else who could fit what you need better than him.Anyways for my Heat, it would be a young Shaq. We would have him and Wade grow together for many years to come. We would be contenders for at least the next 10 years.

For the Suns, I would maybe choose a younger Gary Payton from when he was in his prime so that the Suns can get a bit of defense on their team, as well as not giving up the ability to score decently.
For the Celtics, give me Shaq in his prime. Shaq with Pierce and Wally plus young energy would be great. Plus I have never witnessed a good center in Boston and I would love to see the big fella dominate the paint.I would call Shaq the Jolly Green Giant if he was a Celtic haha.

Also Shaq in his prime to play with AI be nice.
