What are the ideal running-mates to play alongside Melo and Stoudemire if you could chose the 3 other starters? Only rules are they can't have had any all-star appearances in their careers and they can't currently average 20 points or better (eliminating borderline all-stars like Kevin Martin, Eric Gordon, Monta Ellis, etc.)
C Nene
PF Stoudemire
SF Anthony
SG Igoudala
PG Stephen Curry
Looks like a championship line-up to me. Players that would fit nicely next to our 2 stars. What's your team?
5 - Tyson Chandler, he was one of the main reasons Dallas got over the top this year. I like him better because of the defensive edge he has on Nene.
4 - STAT
3 - Melo
2 - Aaron Afflalo, he shoots very good percentages, defends very well as far as I know, basically a younger Shane Battier IMO. Good character. I want Iguodala too, but I want a guy that can defend and shoot the open shot well. Even though Iguodala is such a talent in his own way. Another guy could be Anthony Morrow, although I haven't seen too much of him.
1 - Stephen Curry, can't dispute that pick at all. Perfect fit, imo.
1 Steve Nash
2 Ray Allen
3 Melo
4 Amar'e
5 Tim Duncan

if I must play be the rules...
1 Kyle Lowry
2 James Harden
3 Melo
4 Amar'e
5 Joakim Noah
C-Tyson Chandler
PF-Amare
SF-Melo
SG-Gallo
PG-Stephen Curry
Curry and Gallo would force teams to single cover both Amare and Melo. If they double using a center, Tyson would have a field day with the dunk shot.
pg- andre miller- older but still good. good team player, leader and passer.
sg- marcus thornton- underrated sg who can avg. 20ppg and score in different ways. can take the heat off amare and melo
sf- melo- duh?
pf- amare- duh?
c- marcus camby- yes, i would bring him back because he is a good defender and can rebound. he has also been durable. he is a perfect compliment to amare as he will not demand the ball but still has a 15 footer.
6th man- jerryd bayless- i still have faith in him and think he will be a good player someday. still quick and can score.
Deandre Jordan
Amare Stoudemire
Carmelo Anthony
James Harden
Brandon Jennings
I like Andre Igoudala but he is ball handler.
i will be different and pick some under dogs.
McGee/Tyson Chandler
Amare/Kris Humphries
Melo/Tony Allen
Shane Battier/Ariza
Shumpert/Jarrett Jack
Hibbert for Tyson Chandler, some less obvious but debatable players...
John Wall deserves honors/considerations?
and TD gets some love from me too, think he will be solid with a center and another defensive 2. Especially if that 2 can handle the PG duties, take it to the hole, tenacious defender, and hit a wide open 3. But doing 2-3/4 things would be good enough.
Rules be damned:
Blake Griffin
Dwight Howard
Stat
Melo (now starting at the 2)
Deron Williams
