Suns with Nash and Dragic maybe. But if you're taking that purist outlook then there are actually very few true distributing PGs in the league these days when you think about it - much less than 10/15 years ago. Look at Derrick Rose - technically a PG but you rarely see him make a pass. It seems to be a bit of a dying art, which is a shame as I like a PG to play that way too, Rajon Rondo being my favourite player in the league right now (hence the av).
Point is though that a team can be successful without a pass-first PG. In the last few years we've seen Parker at the Spurs (more of a slasher/dish-out PG) and Fisher last year (shoot first PG) win rings as starting 1s. I was just making the point that in terms of pure talent alone the Cavs have great depth at the position.
