With all the trash talk about the NBA's all-time best team between Shaq and Scottie Pippen the past couple days, it got me thinking. If we had to pick an all-time best team for the Trail Blazers, who would it be? Mine would consist of: Damian Lillard, Clyde Drexler, Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge and Bill Walton. What would yours be?
Starters: Geoff Petrie, Clyde Drexler, Jerome Kersey, Buck Williams, Bill Walton Bench: Drazen Petrovic, Arvydas Sabonis, Terry Porter, Cliff Robinson, Maurice Lucas, Scottie Pippen
My dream team would consist of starters Terry Porter at PG Clyde Drexler at SG Jerome Kersey at SF Buck Williams at PF Bill Walton at C Bench Damian Lillard, Brandon Roy, Scottie Pippen, Cliff Robinson, Aryvdas Sabonis
My all bust team with a super beefy frontcourt. PG Sebastian Telfair SG Qyntel Woods SF Sam Bowie PF Larue Martin C Greg Oden
PG - Dame SG - B.Roy SF - Clyde PF - Sheed (this is partially my kneejerk ambivalence toward LaMarcus... not hate... just don't care, AND partially about Sheed's clutch 3's!) C - Walton
PG - Terry Porter SG/SF - Brandon Roy SG/SF - Clyde Drexler PF - Buck Williams C - Arvydas Sabonis Note: Dame will easily surpass Terry Porter as the Blazers greatest PG in franchise history in just a few more years. With that said, I'm going with TP for now.
Porter Drexler Kersey Buck Sabas Sad that this could have been a reality with Sabas in his prime. This team with Duckworth instead of Sabonis went 63 and 19.
Porter Drexler Kersey Sheed Walton I like your team though Prez...Buck doesn't make the cut and Sabo only when he was playing for the Russian National team
