Portland Trail Blazers All-Time Great Draft Challenge: Complete Your Favorite Team

If you've been following the site at all this week you know our staff writers have been drafting teams of All-Time Great Trail Blazer Players. Timmay, Sam, Dane, Sagar, and Chris have each drafted a team of 8, drawn from the pool of every Blazer ever to put on the uniform during the regular season.

Tomorrow you get to vote on the winner of the contest, but we've had so much fun listening to your comments (and so many of you have asked for more rounds, coaching drafts, and the like) that we're throwing in a bonus challenge.

Listed below are the five teams. We want you to pick your favorite (or more than one if you wish) and complete it by adding two players who were not drafted.

• We're limiting your addition to two players because adding four would get confusing and there'd be too much overlap. This makes the discussion more interesting. Plus no true All-Time Great should be on the third string,
• You're only prohibited from adding player on the actual teams already. You don't have to stop yourself from adding players that somebody else in the comments wanted to add. We're not keeping these additions. It's just for fun.
• Keep in mind overall team style, fit, needs. Obviously talent factors in but you also want to be completing and complementing the roster you're adding to.
• The guys you add don't have to be All-Time Greatest Blazers in themselves. If you think a more pedestrian player (statistically) would shine with a particular squad, add him!
