Nash is someone many would agree on but there is room for some debate. I'd replace Joe Johnson with Baron Davis though. The top 3 are clearcut.

Pau Gasol + Andrew Bynum, they would not be terrible. This list is just about the present so that is why Nash is on the list and not Amare. You're list is basically a top 5 players list which isn't what this list is. KG shouldn't be on there cause the Celtics are still definitely a playoff team without him since they have Allen and Pierce. By "indispensable," I am talking about players who if they got hurt, the team would collapse. Thanks for your comments though. KP, Every team would be worse no doubt, but a lot of teams manage to survive without their best players because they aren't so dependent on that one guy (ie. Wizards sans Arenas last season). Shaun,

Would the Lakers be the threat they are without Kobe? Would the Spurs consistently be a contender without Duncan?

Joe johnson? Lmao this list a joke. If i was a suns fan i'd rather see the old steve nash get hurt rather than seeing the young stoudamire get injured. Think about it. Would you rather see somebody who has 2 years left of playing or somebody who has 10 years left of playing take a serious injury? From a league stand point the list is 1. Lebron 2. Kobe 3. Chris Paul 4. Dwight Howard 5. Kevin Garnett Where is kobe? Joe johnson? Lmao this list a joke.
