Good point but just trying not to put too many studs on there so it can sort of be almost realistic. I guess I don't have very many power guys down there...but if I put Howard in there he'd just clog the lane for Amare and Amare needs space to do his thing. Bosh could be a good choice to replace Diaw though, but I really like Diaw's passing at the PF position.

I'm saying that there'd be no chance in F*ck that you'd actually be able to start a team with that lineup, + Chris Bosh. I thought we were striving for realism here, and as close that list comes to completely falling over the line, Bosh would completely push it over.So basically, you interpreted my post to be the exact opposite as what I meant.
PG - Nash - Will run the team for the next few years. Eventually Paul will replace him.SG - Joe Johnson - A dead eye shooter who has a solid all-around gameSF - Lebron James - The best playmaker in the LeaguePF - Dwight Howard - Can anyone say 16 rpg?C - Amare Stoudamire - A team like this needs a center who can get up and down the floor quicklyBenchG - Chris Paul - His maturity and vision make him the future of the leagueSG - JR Smith - The bench scorerSF - Josh Smith - Outstanding defender with an underated all-around gamePF - David West - Will be able to come off the bench knowing Josh Smith has his backC - Jeff Foster - Will provide hustle11 - Shaun Livingston - A triple double waiting to happen12 - Darrell Armstrong - Will provide leadership for this young team

There is no way you would ever get Nash,JJ,CP3,Lebron,Howard and amare and some of the bench players you have on a team, it would just never happen.

Just that it had to be realistic.
Having all those good players woulden't be realistic though, I mean the only way it would be realistic if it was a allstar team.

Only 2 of those players are all-stars (Lebron and Nash). And one of 'em was but won't be this year (Stoudamire).
I guess you could say that but still it would be kind of unrealistic to get that team, maybe not as unrealstic as other peoples team, I guess it would be borderline.

That is about Lamar Odom' s size and he is starting at the 4 for the Lakers.

Although he can play the pf spot, he is better suited for sf. Most of his blocks come from the weakside, or help defense. And although he has surperior athletiscm and timing, he does not have very many post moves. His rebounding skills and shot-blocking skills are the only things that allow him to play pf. Otherwise he is much better playing sf.
Chris Paul - Can do it allBen Gordon - Good scorer and defenderJosh Howard - Solid scorer and pretty good defenderAndres Nocioni - Consistent scorer Emeka Okafor- Great shot blocker and rebounderThis team would be beastly on defense then on offense there would Chris Paul and Ben are great scorers. Also, Howard and Nocioni can score, but don't need to take 15 shots a game. Only real star on my team right now is CP3. Emeka is becoming one and same is Ben. Josh Howard and Nocioni are underrated players.Chemistry wise, Emeka and Ben played together at Connecticut. Nocioni and Ben both play on the Bulls.

He's basically a one-dimensional player: scoring.

Josh Smith isnt as good as Lamar Odom yet but he could be, and I think that he will be. And if you look at Lamar Odom's game, he doesn't have very many post moves either. He gets the majority of his points from driving to the basket, or by backing down his defender with his strength. Although Smith would be more suitable at the SF spot, by having him play PF would allow them to play a faster paced game which would really benefit them IMO.

Any team with Chris Paul as a back-up is unrealistic, I mean you have 6 stars on one team.
This might not be that of a realistic team but I'll try to make it as realistic as I can PG-Deron WIlliamsSG- Dwyane WadeSF-Kevin MartinPF-Udonis HaslemC-Dwight Howard6-Speedy Claxton7-Jerry Stackhouse8-James Posey9-David Lee10-Alonzo Mourning11-Jason Maxiel12-Dorrell Wright
