Another game: Your All-Time Blazers Roster

[Denny Crane]

Pick your top 15 all-time Blazers and present your roster/depth chart in this thread, and discuss.

C: Bill Walton, Arvydas Sabonis, Mychal Thompson, Oden
PF: Maruice Lucas, Sheed, Sidney Wicks, LMA
SF: Calvin Natt, Kiki Vanderweigh
SG: Clyde Drexler, Jim Paxson, Geoff Petrie
PG: Terry Porter, Lionel Hollins

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

1: Terry Porter, Scottie Pippen, Rod Strickland
2: Clyde Drexler, Brandon Roy
3: Jerome Kersey, Cliff Robinson, Drazen Petrovic, Rueben Patterson
4: Maurice Lucas, Buck Williams, LaMarcus Aldridge
5: Greg Oden, Bill Walton, Ardydas Sabonis


Yeah, I know we haven't seen Oden play but this is my team dammit. Left Sheed out because of his Techs and attitude.

 

[Reep]

C: Arvydas Sabonis, Bill Walton, Oden
PF: Maruice Lucas, Buck Williams, LMA
SF: Scottie Pippen, Calvin Natt, Kiki Vanderweigh
SG: Clyde Drexler, Geoff Petrie, Jim Paxson
PG: Terry Porter, Lionel Hollins; Fat Lever

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

My list is based on my favorite players, not "best" players.

PG - T.Porter, R.Strickland
SG - B.Roy, C.Drexler
SF - S.Pippen, J.Kersey, C.Robinson, R.Patterson, S.Augmon
PF - B.Williams, L.Aldridge, B.Grant
C - A.Sabonis, G.Oden, K.Duckworth

Here is my rotation. And I am evaluating the players by what they did with the Blazers, not who was the best player (i.e., broken down Sabas instead of high-flying pre-injury Euro Sabas). I also took into account how the player fit in with the team, which took away consideration from some of the maggotry (JR Rider, Bonzi Wells, etc.).

Black Unit
PG: Terry Porter
SG: Clyde Drexler
SF: Jerome Kersey
PF: Rasheed Wallace
C: Bill Walton
Coach: Rick Adelman

White Unit
PG: Rod Strickland
SG: Geoff Petrie
SF: Calvin Natt
PF: Mo Lucas
C: Greg Oden (yes, I believe he'll be that good)
Coach: Jack Ramsay

Red Unit
PG: Damon Stoudamire
SG: Brandon Roy
SF: Scottie Pippen
PF: Buck Williams
C: Kevin Duckworth (not as good as Sabas, but better as a Blazer)
Coach: McMillan

A 15-man depth chart:

Point Guard: Terry Porter / Rod Strickland / Lionel Hollins
Shooting Guard: Clyde Drexler / Brandon Roy / Steve Smith
Small Forward: Scottie Pippen / Cliff Robinson / Kiki Vandeweghe
Power Forward: Rasheed Wallace / Maurice Lucas / LaMarcus Aldridge
Center: Bill Walton / Greg Oden / Arvydas Sabonis

If only Pippen could be in his prime, this would be amazing. I'd love to see a prime Pippen and Drexler play together.

 

[Tortimer]

This is a tough one. I hope I haven't forgot anyone.

PG: T.Porter, L.Hollins
SG: C.Drexler, B.Roy, Drazen Petrovic, Geoff Petrie
SF: J.Kersey, Kiki Vanderweigh, Calvin Natt
PF: M.Lucas, LMA, B.Williams
C: B.Walton, Arvydas Sabonis, G.Oden

I only selected 15 players but my next all-time Blazer would be Paxson.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

oooh...forgot about Rod Strickland. Loved that guy!

I'm putting in Ruben Patterson too.

 

[Cake]

PG: Terry Porter, Rod Strickland
SG: Clyde Drexler, Brandon Roy, Geoff Petrie
SF: Scottie Pippen, Jerome Kersey, Jim Paxson
PF: Mo Lucas, Rasheed Wallace, Cliff Robinson
C: Bill Walton, Greg Oden, Arvydas Sabonis

So that's my 14 man roster. I'd save a spot to sign Shavlik Randolph.

 

[Minstrel]

I missed that the OP asked for 15-man rosters. So I've edited mine.

 

[ucatchtrout]

C: Bill Walton, Arvydas Sabonis, Duck , Oden
PF: Maruice Lucas, Buck, Mychal Thompson, LMA
SF: Calvin Natt, Pippen
SG: Clyde Drexler, Brandon Roy, Geoff Petrie

[BlayZa]

C - Sabas, Walton, Oden
PF - Lucas, Sheed, Buck
SF - Pippen, Kersey, Uncle Cliff
SG - Clyde, Roy, Steve Smith
PG - Porter, Strickland, Stoudamire

3 starting 5s

damon/roy/pipen/sheed/oden

Dang, how can so many people put the Nanny raper on their team? Not this his offcourt life matters for this list, but I would easily put Bonzi Wells ahead of him, probably even DA.
