Best trios
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailyd...dime-071117-18
Mavs at number 4. Dirk, jet, and J Ho
Spurs have the best, Celts are 2nd, and Suns 3rd. personally I think Celts rite now have the best trio, but I guess cuz its their first year they wont get it because of the rings the Spurs have won.

Celtic's would be #1 if the Spurs didn't have so many rings with their current trio. Not sure where i'd rank the Mavs. I think the Spurs and Celtics do have a better trio. Suns are debatable.

Sounds about right trios wise.... what? You wouldn't take Amare and Marion over Howard and Jet?
Although I think the Celtics big three is much more intimidating than the Spurs, they have just been together less than a season so it's hard to give them the #1... they are just giving the Spurs props for their titles.

I wouldn't. If Amare's knees weren't questionable, I might. But as it is, I'll take JHo and Jet.

I have issue with Celtics because it's just a bandwagon response.
I can see us behind Phoenix and SA because, honestly, Dirk-Josh-Jet don't play as well as a unit as the others. You have to put Harris in there a bit, and a dash of Stack.
My main problem with the list is that having Jet in there is sooo 06-07. But Boston is fresh 07-08.

I think they are right with the Boston thing. In fact, that trio would probably be #1 in my book because those three are tearing it up and seem to have revitalized Boston's team. I don't think you can overrate them too much. I do think the team as a whole is overrated because I think those three players are the only thing they have going for them. Their starting point guard is fairly mediocre, and their starting center is the worst in the league. As good as that trio is, I don't think they can overcome that.

With the continued maturation of Harris I can envision, in a couple of years, a trio of Dirk, Josh, and Devin taking over as the premier BIG THREE. GOD, are you listening ?..This is wishful thinking but watching Harris improve, almost with each game played, gives me real hope of the wish becoming a reality. He has the potential for greatness.

Really? If you were given the chance to trade Howard for Amare and Marion for Jet (in essence what we are discussing, i'm just breaking it down to individuals), you wouldn't? You can argue that you'd take Howard over Amare at this point, but Jet over Marion? Come on, I don't care how well Jet's playing right now, we'd have the best frontcourt in the NBA. Youth (Amare anyway), talent, and positions played all being a factor i'd do it. That said I still think our entire roster > their entire roster as it is but since it's the best 3... whatever, let them have it. It's all just hypothetical crap anyway.

Well if you'd assure me that Amare's career wouldnt end prematurely, then ya I'd probably do it.
But for what it's worth, I think Marion is incredibly overrated as a player. Is he better than Jet? Yes, but I don't think he's nearly the player that some make him out to be.

Marion does everything without having any plays called for him. The guy is a gamer.

Marion isn't what I'd consider a clutch player. Jet is a clutch player.
Besides, you're comparing apples to oranges.

What's the point of being clutch when you can blow out teams? ^_^

Because you don't blow out good teams.
It's like A-Rod. Sure, he'll win you some regular season games and even get some MVP's, but he's a proven playoff ghost.
All I'm saying is, when the game is on the line in the playoffs Marion isn't the same threat that Terry is.

Then I guess that depends on your definition of clutch. In my book, you can be a clutch defender too.
Is Terry clutch in that area?

Forget clutch, it's too obscure to define. Marion does everything decently on both ends, Jet does one thing great on one end. Thats the way I see it. A game is a series of events that lead to the final seconds, if a player plays well for a full 46 or 47 minutes that could be considered clutch couldn't it? I'd take the full 46 or 47 rather than a minute of made shots to barely win, if you play well the entire game it shouldn't come down to that now should it?

I'd take A-Rod over anyone, anyday.
