    If all teams in their respective divisions were grouped together and the best players taken to form a team, which team would be the best?

    ATLANTIC
    PG: Kidd, Marbury, Mike James
    SG: Iverson, Carter, AI2
    SF: Pierce, Jefferson
    PF: Webber, Frye
    C: Bosh (otherwise they'd have no one to play center), Dalembert
    Coach: Lawrence Frank

    CENTRAL
    PG: Billups, Hinrich
    SG: Redd, Hamilton, Gordon
    SF: L.James, Tay Prince, Noci
    PF: J.O'Neal, R.Wallace, Gooded
    C: B.Wallace, Z
    Coach: Flip or Rick C.

    SOUTHEAST
    PG: Arenas, Felton
    SG: Wade, Joe Johnson
    SF: Jamison, G.Wallace
    PF: Howard, Okafor
    C: Shaq
    Coach: Pat Riley

    PACIFIC
    PG: Nash, Cassell, B.Davis, Bibby (rediculous depth!)
    SG: Kobe, Richardson, Mobley, Bonzi
    SF: Artest, Marion, Odom, Maggette
    PF: Brand, Amare
    C: Kaman, Diaw
    Coach: Phil Jackson

    SOUTHWEST
    PG: Paul, Parker, Terry
    SG: Manu, Des. Mason
    SF: TMac, Josh Howard, Battier, Bowen
    PF: Duncan, Dirk, Gasol
    C: Yao
    Coach: Pop

    NORTHWEST
    PG: Dre Miller, Deron Williams
    SG: Ray Allen
    SF: Melo, AK47, Rashard Lewis
    PF: Garnett, Boozer
    C: Camby, Okur
    Coach: Jerry Sloan

    I think it would be a Central vs Southwest matchup in the end.

    Central has toughness (detroit players) Post Scoring (O'neal, wallace) and ofcourse, the King.

    The Southwests lineup is huge but lacks in the three-ball department, but the depth at PF is rediculous.

    It's hard to pick for me, i think the Cebtral's three point shooting and defense would be hard to overcome, in a seven game series i think i'd take Central, they have too much balance.

    Uh... that was a mistake by me.

    Can I change my vote to "Southwest"?

    Southwest. They'd look even better if you slid Dirk to the 3 and T-Mac to the 2.

    PG: Paul, Parker, Terry
    SG: TMac, Manu, Des. Mason
    SF: Dirk, Josh Howard, Battier, Bowen
    PF: Duncan, Gasol
    C: Yao
    Coach: Pop

    That's a starting lineup. :eek:

    Exactly, I would also take out Desmond Mason for Eddie Jones, Michael Finley or Mike Miller, they can shoot!

    The SW would win easy. Athough I would change the lineup.

    PG Parker or Paul
    SG TMac
    SF Dirk
    PF Duncan
    C Yao

    Thats rediculous. Also dont forget about Bowen. He can hit the three and is a lock down defender.

    Still southwest is too stacked

    Pacific if you changed the lineup.

    PACIFIC
    PG: Nash, Bibby, Cassell
    SG: Kobe, Richardson, Mobley, Bonzi
    SF: Artest, Marion, Maggette
    PF: Brand, Odom
    C: Amare, B. Miller, Diaw
    Coach: Phil Jackson

    Nash running the pick and roll with Amare and Brand, Artest and Marion to defend and take care of the intangibles, and Kobe provides enough scoring to take pressure off the post and take the game winners.

    Only real competition here is between Southwest and Pacific but SW would ultimately take it.

    Dude, you're so right. I dare say Ryan Bowen would be the consensus MVP of that team. :)

    The finals would be: Pacific vs Southwest, and the southwest win in 6.
