Hekate's Case:

The first thing I wanted to establish on my team was positionless basketball on the offensive end. Apart from Magic Johnson, who will cause match-up problems whichever position he plays, Drexler, Pierce and Manu are all accomplished ball-handlers and passers. Their ability to create for others as well as for themselves will confuse lots of defenses. Add to that KG who is another great passer and there will be lots of fun basketball happening.

I will have 3 big-man rotation most of the time with Garnett-Howard-Bosh but I can put King at 4 whenever I need to go small, I can even put Magic at 5 if teams want to go ultra-small against me.

I have two defensive anchors on the low post who are also great PnR defenders. And Let's not forget Chris Bosh is a capable PnR defender as well. I have a guy like Sidney Moncrief, who won Defensive Player of the Year award 2 times to slow down anyone.

Howard

3× NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2009–2011)
4× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2009–2012)
NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2008)

Garnett

NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2008)
9× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2000–2005, 2008,2009, 2011)
3× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2006, 2007,2012)

Spy has a very thin wing tandem, There just isn't enough players on his team to challenge Magic, Drexler, Pierce, Ginobili, King or Houston.

Now he has a very good defensive duo down low but it won't be enough to stop a team that turns the ball around, gets to the line a lot and has targets like KG, Houston, Bosh, Pierce and Ginobili outside.

Offensively, Hakeem and Kareem are amazing players in their own rights but together they are very suspect. I have 2 great rim protectors and an already congested with Hakeem and Kareem, as long as Mullin doesn't get a clear shot I can double team them. Bowen can only camp on the corners so he is not much of a big deal. All I have to do is chase him off the corner but I don't think his 3's will make a big difference as long as I disrupt Kareem and Hakeem.
 
Hakeem makes this one a little close but i pick hekate pretty easily.

Bruce bowen in an all time starting lineup is too much of an eye sore.
