LeBron
David Lee/Josh Smith
Mo Williams/Steve Blake
Joakim Noah/Al Jefferson
John Salmons/Raja Bell

I know Jefferson/Noah is big difference but I love Jefferson so had to get him in there.

I agree with Seanie about the Cavs but figured I would get creative

I'm a Pistons fan btw and hate the Cavs but respect LeBron so much and think he is best player in the game by far

Artest and Ariza added for toughness. Bargnani is easily going to become the best player in the NBA.
