In today's NBA, I'd take #6. CP3 and Harden would do major damage in tandem.
Question ^ and rank them based on who you think will be the most successful, considering their current play.
1. Tony Parker - Dwight Howard
2. Kobe Bryant - Lamarcus Aldridge
3. Kyrie Irving - Zach Randolph
4. Damian Lillard - Kevin Durant
5. Jrue Holiday - Lebron James
6. James Harden - Chris Paul
7. Chris Paul - Brook Lopez
8. Russel Westbrook - Tim Duncan
9. Zach Ranolph - Blake Griffin
10. Tony Parker - James Harden

The one with LeBron. Congrats on the B2B block rings btw.
4 or 5
Also, how come no Kobe Bryant / Chris Paul choice?
im going to assume its a 1 season "now" thing and not a "in their prime" or "starting a franchise" thing.
#6 seems like a great choice. both are unselfish players, both can knock it down from outside or put it on the floor, and both can compete on defense (though houston isn't really asking Harden to defend. he did a heck of a job when he was on kobe in the 2nd round last year).
#5 is an easy one too just because bron is there and jrue is a beast on defense.
#4 could do wonders because Lillard is more likely to defer to Durant than chuckbrook is, and it would work well.
#1 only works well assuming dwight is 100% healthy and isn't just coasting like he is this year
the homer in me loves #8 because i'm assuming Tim can talk some sense into westbrick and keep him under control. but i doubt thats possible.
in order, 6 5 4 1. if i must rank em all, gimme 10 2 8 7 3 9
blake and randolph play the same position. neither can be a center, and neither is a great defender
5, then 8, 6, 1, 3, 7, 10, 2, 4, and 9
Pretty sure that combo will not be allowed for basketball reasons.
B2B is not in the Spurs' vocab, tbh.
at Westbrrok with TD
5.
TD would that indie wanker up if he did anything he does at OKC
In order:
Parker/Howard (REAL Howard, not the he is now)
LeBron/Holliday (mostly just for LeBron)
Westbrook/Duncan (Duncan's good bball IQ overwrites Westbrook's ty bball IQ)
Paul/Harden (pretty solid backcourtcombo imo)
Parker/Harden (same as above, but Paul is slightly better than Parker)
Kobe/Aldridge (good scoring, but mediocre defense)
Lillard/Durant (Durant's great but I don't trust Lillard yet)
Parker/Howard ( ty, current Howard)
Griffin/Randolph (they actually wouldn't mesh together all that well)
Irving/Randolph (Would've been much better if we were talking pre injury ZBo)
Paul/Lopez (Lopez is mediocre imo)
And yes, I realize I wrote Parker/Howard twice; on purpose.
You should try actually reading the OP before typing out a ty take.
Number 5
Why ?
Because you put anybody with LeBron - even a ing scrub like Jrue - and he is going to win
The way LeBron is playing right now I'd take him with Omri Casspi.
3 irving and zbo...
dont think zbo has ever played alongside a top PG in the league that can feed him the ball
Lillard-Durant (or Durant + any good pass first PG) would be pretty insane. You'd have to have 4 guys guarding those two at all times.
dammit dude...my reply was going to be very similar (using a generic NBA player to pair with Lebron) and I thought I was going to be the first until I see this one near the bottom lol
You obviously missed my post
Lebron unless you pair him with Bonner, MWP or someone of that caliber ... JAmes is so good you have to take him.
Lillard-Durant
Paul-Harden
Nah I saw it.You obviously missed my post
Paul-Harden wouldn't work IMO..they both need the ball at all times when they're on the floor, and neither one of them could play a slasher role like Wade and other evolved wing sidekicks have done..
Lebron-Holiday and Durant-Lillard are the clear choices IMO..
then that would give you a team almost as great as the 99-04 rockets with francis and mobley in the backcourt tbh.
