Rose
Butler
Lebron
Deng
Noah

Get Boozer off the books and ink Lebron and this could be your starting five for da bulls. (Theoretically)

you talking bout rose pre-injury...then yes they would win championship... you talking about rose now or next year, then i have no clue. rose may be done, he seems like a nut case and may never be the same or even close to the same

Depends on your definition of dominate, but yes they'll probably be the best team in the nba.

Not to nit pick, but LeBron would play the 4 in that lineup, not Deng.

It would all depend on how Rose is when he comes back from injury. It would take some time to work, because Rose and LeBron are both ball dominant players. I know this would never happen, but I think ideally Lebron would play best with a great shooting pg like Curry.

Curry
Thompson
LeBron
Lee
Bogut

That would be ridiculous

Yes and no. I think Rose would have a tough time adjusting to not being the guy, Lebron seems fine with sharing the ball, just nobody wants him to

Any lineup would require an adjustment season, to learn to play together to optimize strengths. It'd be the best defensive team in the league, hands down, once they figured out how to handle switching, but TT would have that ironed out in fairly short order.

The upside is that it would throw one of the other quality teams in the East into complete chaos, as the Heat would have to adjust to live without LeBron, thus meaning the road to the Finals would be somewhat easier. I'd think they'd be a favorite going into the playoffs, but not an overwhelming one like the Heat this year.

I remember years ago Pat Riley saying his basketball ideal would be five 6'9" guys who were interchangeable.

Yeah I would personally rather force a team to sit their PG because of the match up problems with James. Or they can have a PG getting abused by another bigger player.

Can you imagine a lineup (from Riley's day) of Bird, Magic, Worthy, Schrempf, and Derrick McKey? Or you can sub Malone for McKey.
