    ...what would every team's roster be? It boggles my mind. I have a good mind to sit down and figure it out. Our team would be...

    PG Patty Mills (not sure about him)
    SG Elliott Williams
    SF Dante Cunningham
    PF Zach Randolph
    C Meyers Leonard
    Nolan Smith
    Luke Babbitt
    Joel Freeland
    Victor Claver
    Tyrus Thomas


    The Hornets would have a great team, maybe the best in the league?

    PG Chris Paul/Darren Collison
    SG Kobe Bryant/JR Smith
    SF Darrell Arthur
    PF Anthony Davis/David West
    C Cole Aldrich/Brandon Bass

    The Cavs would have... Wait they may be better.

    PG Kyrie Irving/Daniel Gibson
    SG Jamal Crawford/Dion Waiters
    SF LeBron James/Shannon Brown/Danny Green
    PF Carlos Boozer/Tristan Thompson
    C JJ Hickson/Brendan Haywood

    My mind is spinning. Any other great rosters I'm missing?

    Speed, wouldn't we have either Chris Paul or Deron Williams or do we still take Webs at #3? We'd also have Telfair (no Roy) and we'd have Tyrus Thomas (#4).

    We got some of those picks by trade. I don't get how to play this game (which is really, really important to me).

    I included Tyrus Thomas in my post, maxi. I overlooked Telfair though. As for that pick in 2005, I didn't list Webster or Jack since we traded for them but I can't go back and make a pick with the pick we traded so I leave that as a void altogether.

    Yes, I think we traded for the Mills pick and oh yeah, we traded for Babbitt so he shouldn't count either. But the Cavaliers and Hornets roster are accurate, I think. Basically, what would be the best teams in he league if they were made entirely of players you drafted. Unless you traded for the picks, which of course makes that more complicated. I guess we could overlook that rule and then we could include Mills and Lillard.

    How about Chicago's team? Talk about Size!

    PG Derrick Rose/Kirk Hinrich/Chris Duhon
    SG Ben Gordon/Roger Mason
    SF Metta World Peace/James Johnson
    PF LaMarcus Aldridge/Taj Gibson/Elton Brand/Aaron Gray
    C Tyson Chandler/Joakim Noah/Eddy Curry/Matt Bonner

    Wow.

    This is just something you can't do because those draft picks wouldn't have gone the ways they did without certain trades, and trying to figure it out if no trades have gone through the last X years is gonna kill your mind.

    Well, just think of it then as "rosters of the players you drafted" and we'll play that way. So the Blazers can have Webster, Jack, Babbitt, and Lillard. Still, not a great team.

    Wait, Portland can have Babbitt and Webster, tho Webster was traded for Babbitt?

    Sometimes when our inside voices say something, or come up with an idea, we should keep it to ourselves

    No way NO would have the #1 pick (Anthony Davis) if Cp3 was on the team

    That's not the point. I changed the rules. Just make teams of everyone the team drafted. Doesn't matter how draft position would've been affected.
