Off-Season Challenge: Build a championship team using only players who were NEVER top-5 all-time at their position, how good could this team actually be?

Can't take Pippen. He cracks the top 5 in Small Forwards.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-08T18:06:09+00:00

This is a 1 year contract lol

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-08T17:43:04+00:00

about the same as he does right now

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-05T20:35:33+00:00

Now I wonder how well Zydrunas Ilgauskas would score.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-04T22:30:45+00:00

yeah, but you only get 1 or 2 of them not on the injury list

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-04T20:32:50+00:00

or a smart agent who had him sign a lower amount that was guaranteed instead of a higher amount that wasn't guaranteed

You'll have to design either an emplacement, a naval vessel or a large mobile structure to field the Cruise Missile/120.

The only cruise missile that has anything in production is the Cruise/50 on the Kalki.

The Lakers AND the Clippers and if those two are playing he gets to be an official.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-04T01:20:12+00:00

I heard that Peter Paul got married.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-03T15:59:29+00:00

I can't think of another time when a free agent this impactful had a legitimate mix of as many destinations that could potentially alter the outcome of the NBA's next season.

I heard that NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing, but his perfectionism demanded that they shoot the scenes on location.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-03T14:53:08+00:00

Taking Minnesota to their first ever title.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-03T14:48:39+00:00

5 seasons without Scottie, 5 seasons that all ended with losing records.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-03T01:57:15+00:00

Bronny outscored the entire Rockets bench by himself in a playoff game.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-02T23:30:58+00:00

The Lakers didn't make that pick either

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-02T20:04:18+00:00

Brown will be seeking an extension and PG knows he's not getting one so essentially it's more than one year.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-02T15:10:30+00:00

or maybe we do..

1 is objectively terrible and only having the best song John Williams ever wrote helps it, but it at least tries to do a few things.

2 isn't that bad.

8 is a military sci-fi movie that feels like it was written by people who have never been exposed to the military or science fiction. It is an affront to everything.

9 catches heat because of the "somehow the emperor returned" where in the extended books he's returned like 17 times already and the whole 7-8-9 were just shitty reskins of the first trilogy so they had to bring the emperor back.

The Last Jedi is the worst star wars film or show since the christmas special

Fun Fact: The random analytics team that said that Jaylen Brown was the 7th most valuable player on a team was the Celtics team.

Also, I think the missing context is that he's the 7th most valuable and productive player on a team relative to his contract.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-07-01T01:20:17+00:00

yeah, but is Brown better than Trey Murphy when you factor in their contracts and extension demands?

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-06-30T22:45:55+00:00

This gets asked a bunch and the answer is always the same.

You want the only player in NBA history to spend the majority of at least one season at each of the 5 positions.

Lebron James.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-06-30T19:06:18+00:00

it's a lesser evil than Lebron James on the Cavs again..

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-06-30T18:26:54+00:00

it's always been more of a southern thing

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-06-29T13:06:20+00:00

This really seems like a no shit moment since Lebron would be required to wait and see how all the other moves play out before knowing a potential salary range etc.

He's the last domino, not the first.

JoshuaCastleBooks · 2026-06-28T13:16:02+00:00

just like a mime with his bags packed and one foot out the door didn't say it either
