    Rondo is actually completely useless in the triangle lol The PG usually just dishes the ball to the wing position and then go to the corner and spot up. And with Rondo in the corner, his defender can basically sag off of him and double the low post.

    I can see them playing rondo at the top though, where he can run the pinch post and cut to the hoop, or use him as a pick and roll bail out option.

    That has nothing to do with what I said.

    But I take back what I said. Lebron can play the triangle. Because he's quick and can cut pretty well. I would put him at the defensive balance (at the top), or for him to run baseline pick and roll's.

    If we're talking about ONLY offense:

    Deron Williams
    Kobe Bryant
    Carmelo Anthony
    Zach Randolph
    Pau Gasol

    For the triangle, it would be great to have good shooters and bruiser post up players at each position. Deron and Kobe are good enough at outside shooting and the spot up type players aren't necessary if you're constantly getting in the paint as this team would.

    For pure theory triangle offense:
    Stephen Curry
    Kevin Durant
    Carmelo Anthony
    Kevin Love
    Dirk Nowitzki

    In today's day and age of basketball though and since it'd be a slightly altered version:
    Stephen Curry
    Ray Allen
    Kevin Durant
    Lebron James
    Dirk Nowitzki
