i was just thinking the knicks need a big man and i dont like damp (lazy), then i thought olowokandi, then i thought "underachiever"

but

what if kandi played like the #1 pick and the clippers kept him, what a great front court, kandi and brand.

then

i thought if they had a good gm and owner what kind of team they would have...........back to the heading of this post, the best team in the west.

c-kandi, kaman
pf-brand, wilcox, ely
sf-odom, miles
sg-maggette, richardson
pg-miller, mcinnis.

totally off topic for the knicks board but what a great team this would be.

i guess it just shows you how much the organizational part of a team is important to how the team and the players will perform. Coaching, playing for salary, direction, etc. That would have been an awesome team.

Posted by TMS:

they wouldn't have been able to afford to keep all those guys on the roster.

another scary team is what the Bulls could have had if they had held onto all their guys:

C - Curry
PF - Brand / Chandler
SF - Artest
SG - Crawford
PG - Hinrich

I think Brand was traded for one of Chandler/Curry. Don't forget to add Brad Miller to the above.
