There are a lot of players out there we believe would work well together, but it probably would never happen. What players do you guys think would make great synergy starting together?

I always thought Carmelo and CP3 would make a strong playoff team

Also LBJ-Rose, Shaq-Tmac, Hakeem-Jordan-Drexler, CP3-Kobe, D12-Rondo and Replace Thomas on the 80s pistons with Stockton.

I always wanted Jackson to bring Kukuc to Los Angeles.

Dwight and Dirk. Not gonna happen, but still... best frontcourt ever.

With Dirk getting older, now I think I'd rather see Dwight join up with Durant some day.

A younger Jason Kidd or CP3 with Blake Griffin.

Back in the mid 2000s when the rumors first started that KG could end up getting traded, I thought Kobe-KG would have been a great 1-2 punch.

Not sure LBJ-Rose would work
Both of them need to keep the ball a fair amount of time in order to be efficient

Between crab walking and suicide drives, I think they will find out how to make it work. It really just popped in my mind because LBJ could have gone to the Bulls instead of Heat.

come on. I seriously thought you were starting this thread as a joke. Uh...I'd love to see Hakeem, Jordan, and Drexler on the same team. Well no shit. I bet they'd be really good and fun to watch.

Make those Pistons teams not nearly as good. Stockton's career success was heavily reliant on two things, longevity and the pick-and-roll. Those Pistons teams didn't have pick-and-roll big men. Who the hell would Stockton play pick-and-roll with? Dennis Rodman? Bill Laimbeer? Rick Mahorn? John Salley? Yeah not so much.

Switch Stockton and Isiah, and you make both teams weaker.

I remember Isiah lighting up Stock after the 92 Dream Team roster was announced

And then Malone slammed hin

Which would have made me a happy camper.

Kobe and any above average PG. Not going to happen; but even a Ramon Sessions would suffice.

Shut the fuck up. Im tired of you coming in here acting like know one saw those teams play. Aguirre and Dantley we're great pick and roll players. Not to mention Laimbeer was a pick and roll player as well, only he preferred to pop. Also, you could put Zeke on any team and they instantly get better. Not so much with Stockton.

Don't know what Pistons team you were watching back then. Adrian Dantley was not a pick-and-roll player with the Pistons. He wanted the ball in the mid-post to isolate. And by the time Mark Aguirre got the Pistons, he was basically a jumpshooting chucker... and fat and slow at a quick perimeter position.

Bill Laimbeer could pick-and-pop, and the Pistons would run high screens that gave him that straight away jumper sometimes. But if you think Bill Laimbeer is going to give John Stockton anywhere near as many assists as Karl Malone did and do it as efficiently, then there's no need to even go any further. Rolling to the rim that will end up scoring probably 60%+ of the time versus picking and popping for a 18-20 foot jumper that Laimbeer could probably hit 45% of the time, generously speaking.

Isiah would hate the restrictions of a pick-and-roll offense. If you tell me Jerry Sloan is either going to allow Isiah some freedom or that the Jazz get a different coach, I'm open to saying Isiah could have helped the Jazz. But part of what made Isiah great and dangerous were his creativity and one-on-one ability. Pigeon hole him into a Jerry Sloan system, I think he's much less successful.

Kobe and Dirk as well would be a lethal duo. I was about to jizz myself when the proposals of getting Kobe to Dallas surfaced.
