    Kyle Lowry
    Aaron Brooks
    Shane Battier
    Ron Artest
    Carl Landry
    Luis Scola
    Chuck Hayes

    Can we add a Nene to the mix?

    Honestly...if his contract wasn't ****, you could give me a G. Wallace type, with Landry...and also give a Nene...and I'd be content with that.

    I asked you this earlier, so I'll ask you again: Have you watched Artest at all this season or are you simply going off of how he was two years ago?

    Going off? I am asking the forum a question. I have not given an opinion on the matter.

    I haven't a clue If I would bring back our big balls squad. I would like to hear some opinions, end of story.

    We got the last good (if you want to call it good) year out of him TBH. LA took on a bad contract and so did New Orleans.

    I loved that squad, but they still lost to the Lakers, and now there are possibly even stronger teams out there in Miami, SA rejuvenated, Boston etc. That team would lose to all these in a 7 game set. Now you can make an argument that that 'All Balls' team with 1 star may beat a team with multiple superstars (Miami, Boston, LA, etc). That would be great to argue.

    Not sure you're familiar with the last big balls squad the Rockets had. I'll give you a hint:

    No contest. This team might have prettier passing, prettier foul-drawing, or .... whatever.. but it has less fire and heart than that team.

    it's sad when you're wishing for a former mediocre team over your current mediocre team, though.

    where is McGrady?

    This is my dream lineup:

    Steve Francis
    Tracy McGrady
    Ron Artest(would be Rudy Gay but since we gave him up..)
    Luis Scola
    Yao Ming

    Now THAT team is ALL HEART AND PASSION.

    None of this softie barbie doll sheeet we're witnessing right now

    Both variations are mediocre...sub in some defense and subtract a ton of offense but still no low post shot blocking and Ron is on a steep decline. If Yao hadn't gone down then Ron would still be here, IMHO, but that contract would be a handicap. Adding Nene helps, probably a playoff team but not a whole lot better.
