Make an NBA team from the bottom 5 NBA teams recordwise (this is for a team that will win so dont care about stuff like chemistry)

C- A. Jefferson (MIN)*
PF- P. Gasol (MEM)
SF- K. Durant (SEA)
SG- D. Wade (MIA)
PG- S. Marbury (NYK)

*I have Jefferson at center because now that Min.'s center is injured he is their starting center.


Based on Winning % as of right now the teams are

Minny , New york, Miami, Memphis, Seattle


Pau Gasol memphis C PPG 17.6 | RPG 8 | BPG 1.2 7'0
Al Jefferson Minny PF PPG 20.3 | RPG 12 | BPG 1.3
Zach Randoph SF PPG 18 | RPG 10.3 | BPG 0.2
I'll go with Durant with you
Wade at PG 24ppg and 6.6 apg

I POUND you up front going 7, 6'10 and 6'9


dude you have to go with players real positions! Wade is a shooting guard, Randolph is a power foward, and Gasol is a power foward!!! You pretty much took my exact same team and changed their positions, you only have 1 actual difference and that is having Randolph but he is still in the wrong position.
Randolph vs. Durant
ppg. 18 vs. 20 (Durant wins)
apg. 2 vs. 2 (Tie)
rpg. 10 vs. 4 (Randolph wins)
They tie in the stats but Durant is younger and will still improve while Randolph is getting older and getting worse. Also Randolph still is a power foward.


Wade has 6 assists per game- and stands 6'4

Sounds like he could play point to me

are you saying he's to SLOW to play point guard?

Gasol is SEVEN FEET TALL

How can he not play center?

and you have a 6'10 center- I can;t have a 6'9 small forward?

I'll give the Gasol/Jefferson swap- even though mine are thier actual positions

I'll take 6 rebounds over 2 points ANY DAY

and Wade SMOKES you at the point.


Gasol and Jefferson are fine because actually they both play center. Yes Randolph is better than Durant but:
1. Durant will develop into a better player and
2. You have to put Randolph at his real position!!!

Yes your team is better but you didnt follow the rules to this TD!!!


How so?

I can't have a 6'9 Small forward? but Minny can have a 7'1 one?

Small Forwards in the NBA

Josh Smith (SF-ATL) 6'9 235
Luol Deng (SF-CHI) 6'9 220
Zach Randolph 6'9 250

Not much difference there.

and even with him playing there-

Wade STILL kills you

You can;t stop him with Marbury- and you can't contain him

Sorry It took me a bit- I was looking to replace the entire team but Durant is just a hair above stinky so it was a bit hard.

20ppg, 2apg, 4rpg vs. 18ppg, 2apg, 10rpg is not a tie.

Give me the 18-10 guy every day of the week.

"dude you have to go with players real positions!"

Then remove Al Jefferson from YOUR team. He's only filling in at C because of a lack of depth in Minny, he's nothing close to a true center. His "real position" is PF.
