Well this is my very first post here at BasketballBoards and I am a huge Blazer fan even though I live all the way over here in Connecticut. I wanna start my first post off strong and I wanna know what would your All-Time All Blazers team consist of? Pick either 5 or 12 players, starters and bench players and one coach.

1. Clyde Drexler
2. Bill Walton
3. Terry Porter
4. Buck Williams
5. Kevin Duckworth

Close Calls: Recent guys, Pippen, Arvydas, 'Sheed, Zbo.

What would u say?

Been a fan since 89. Will limit myself to players I have seen.

PG: Terry Porter
SG: Clyde Drexler
SF: Scottie Pippen
PF: Rasheed Wallace
C: Arvydas Sabonis

Masbee

Just noticed: Backcourt 90 and front court 00.

HOWIE

Is this a joke or what?

First off, welcome to the board and I hope that you enjoy your stay. however I would think about changing your screen name as many here on this board are going to take offense to it.

My Blazer team would be.......

Walton/Sabas
Lucas/Wallace
Kiki/Pippen
Drexler/Wells
Porter/Paxon

Power Forward: Rasheed Wallace / Maurice Lucas / Buck Williams
Center: Bill Walton / Arvydas Sabonis

Clifford Robinson may not be a popular pick (I don't get the sense he's well thought-of around these parts due to his playoff performances), but he had such a lot of talent and versatility.

This is my "best at each position" list.

PG: Porter
SG: Drexler
SF: Petrie (can I count him as a 3? If not, Pippen)
PF: Rasheed
C: Walton

I think the following team would give my "baep" team a run for its money... it has more role players but not the scoring the top team has:

PG: Strickland
SG: Paxson (or Petrie, if not allowed above)
SF: Pippen (or Kersey, if Petrie's not allowed above)
PF: Lucas (or maybe Buck)
C: Sabonis

PG - Steele or Porter
SG - Drexler (obvious)
SF - Vandeweghe
PF - Lucas (obvious)

I can't believe some of you picked Wallace over Lucas. Honestly.

I think Wallace is underappreciated, especially if we're assuming primes...Wallace in 1999-2000, as I recall, drew pretty much unanimous acclaim from Portland fans as the best power forward in franchise history. People were even comparing him to Shawn Kemp in his prime.

This is a toughy.

PG: Porter and Hollins.
SG: Geoff and Clyde.
SF: Natt , with Jerome a distant second
PF: Lucas, Buck, and Sheed
C: Steve Johnson and Mychal Thompson.

As a bonus, how about a team of "best players who weren't in their prime when in Portland."
