So the Brooklyn Nets acquired two Hall of Famers to team up with three superstars to form easily one of the best ? if not the best ? starting five in the NBA.

The blockbuster trade sending Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets from the Boston Celtics is official, meaning the Nets starting lineup will feature a combined 35 All-Star appearances and be worth $82 million.

Last season, one of the Nets? strengths was the team?s depth. The team received significant contributions from the ?Bench Mob? including Andray Blatche, C.J. Watson, Keith Bogans and at times Jerry Stackhouse.

In the Nets' 113-93 win over the Kings on Saturday night, there were stretches of the game in which P.J. Carlesimo played centers Brook Lopez and Andray Blatche on the floor at the same time.

Kris Humphries missed the game with injury, so Blatche was the first player off the bench to spell Reggie Evans.
