Which NBA Team Has the Best Center-Power Forward Rotation in the League?

PrintI know we are all itching for the Nuggs to add a 4th Big that can play a little in the post, but where do you think Nene, Kmart and Birdman rank right now in terms of the other Center-PF rotations in the League right now? Despite last night's win over the Lake Show, I still give the immensely talented and LARGE combo of Gasol, Bynum and Odom an edge over the Nuggets Bigs, but it is actually pretty close. I would probably put the Nuggets Three Headed Monster as the second best C-PF rotation in the NBA. Boston (Garnett, Wallace and Perkins), Cleveland (Shaq, Ilgauskas, Varejao), Atlanta (Horford, Smith and Pachulia) and maybe Memphis (Randolph, Gasol and Haddidi) could be in the discussion, but I would put the Nuggets combo as the #2 Big Man rotation in the League in terms of who is playing best right now. What say you?

i think memphis's 3rd big is thabeet
hes their big off the bench…. i think haddadi never plays, hes like their petro
Their third is DeMarre Carroll
I may have spelled his name wrong, but that guy’s a beast. Thabeet sucks. Also, the Grizz have Darrell Arthur, who provided a consistent 7 ppg and 5 rpg Leon Powe-style before going down to injury Leon Powe-style.

Clippers
3 big or 4 big rotation is tops Camby, Kaman, Griffin and either DeAndre Jordan or Craig Smith
After that Denver and Celtics are pretty even
btw if Denver had Perkins as part of our current team Denver 2010 champs
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to end- it's about dancing in the rain.

You know, the guy drafted one spot ahead of Hasheem Thabeet…..

I think Shaq-Ilgauskas-Varejao is pretty deadly
Then throw in Hickson is yet another big…Cleveland has a very dangerous frontline.
If the question was, which NBA team has the best 3-man center-power forward rotation in the league, I would go with Denver. KMart has been out of his mind, Birdman has been gradually putting up some great games, Nene can do everything when he is aggressive.
Yeah, Denver has a very good 3-man group
But we need a 4th big for playoff time, when every game is very important, and if one of our bigs struggles with foul trouble, we wouldn’t have to rely on Malik or Stone Hands. Let’s give Dwayne Jones or some other D-League big a chance…I’d rather give a young big man who can catch the ball some minutes as opposed to Petro or Malik Allen.

I'd Go
LA, Atlanta, Denver. Atlantas trio has looked amazing lately. I think Josh Smith had a tripple double last night. Horford is very good center even being undersized and Pachulia is nice coming off the bench for them. Denver is a close 3rd especially with K-Mart playing lights out.
most teams are better talent wise
i will take denver’s heart any time. kmart has proved they can be better. andersen and nene blocking out is at times a fatal flaw. andersen stops going for the pump fake he would be an outstanding defender. nene needs to just worry about playing hard. let the coaches worry about the foul situation.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow

Agreed
Our squad is much better than the Nyets, or the TimberLOLves, or any other dreg. I know that the LOLves have Kevin Love (who I really wish was on this team) and Al Jefferson, and three youngsters in Ellington, Flynn, and Brewer, but nothing else. Ryan Freaking Hollins plays big minutes for them, and Damien Wilkins usually starts at SG.

What about the spurs????
Everyone forgets about them. They are so underrated. Talk about Duncan, Blair (who leads the league in rebounds per 48 mins), and my man Mcdyess!!!!!
I'm amazed that nobody else has taken "Chauncey"
You joined on 8/7/2009…I’m just shocked that nobody took it earlier.

Chauncey rules
It’s because everyone was a Chauncey hater at the beginning of the season. they hated his shot selection even though he has led the Nuggets in true shooting percentage ALL year.
Best Center Power forward combo at least in the West & LA Denver game.
LAL, DENVER, and then everybody else. I don’t like it but I gotta say you put your words where your mouths were the other night against LA. Not many teans can say that! One stat from last year and only a stat. Orlando swept the Lakers in the regular season last year and look what happened! Just a stat, doesn’t mean a thing. My opinion. Home court wins this series. just my opnion! P.S. If you shoot like billups did home court won’t matter!
Cavs trade
While most contenders are looking for a big man to stop the length of the Lakers what do the Cav’s do. They trade away a solid 7’3" center for Jameison. Jameison is a great player. He’s 33 and doesn’t have to many years left. Does Cleveland really need another scorer. NO. There is no way Shaq can carry the center position.
As for the Lakers they need a good shooting fast point guard. Only time will tell if the Cav’s made the right choice
