Success is not defined by rings, but atleast success in the playoffs, getting a few divisional titles and conference titles. The ONE guy that stands high on this list for me is Michael Redd. Such a nice, unselfish guy, who has been stuck on a sucky, mediocre team at-best and has never won anything. I'd love it if he got picked up by a top quality veteran team who needs a solid shooter. He could be the equivalent to a Ray Allen was to the Celtics for a contending team next year. He'd be a nice edition to the Thunder, a solid veteran to add to their squad. With Redd and Harden there will always be a solid 3 pt shooter in the game for them.
Kyle Lowry. Yao Ming. Tracy McGrady. Basically the entire Houston Rockets roster during the entire duration of the Mac-Yao era. Lol.
Eh mike red couldve gotten success if he would have signed with cleveland, but instead he resigned with the bucks and everybody lost
Similar thread on this awhile back. Cant name one so my list(then, as it is now) of guys I'd like to see on contending teams. Marcus Camby Sam Dalembert Boris Diaw Mike Dunleavy T.J. Ford Jeff Foster Richard Hamilton Chuck Hayes Grant Hill Josh Howard Stephen Jackson Antwan Jamison Chris Kaman Rashard Lewis Kevin Love Steve Nash Anthony Parker Mickael Pietrus James Posey Tayshaun Prince Joel "Vanilla Gorilla" Przybilla Anderson Varejo Ben Wallace and yes, Yao Ming
Rockets ------------------------- Shane Battier Luis Scola Yao Ming Charles Barkley Tracy McGrady (he did try his best for a good part of his career, and he was immensely talented) Cuttino Mobley Rick Adelman (as a coach) Dikembe Mutombo Jeff Van Gundy (as a coach) Ralph Sampson Bobby Sura Active and Retired Non-Rocket players ---------------------------- Grant Hill Dominique Wilkins George Karl (as a coach) Kevin Johnson/Jason Kidd/Steve Nash Danny Fortson (Mainly because of his gritty play, and on the way he expressed his opinions on the Iraq War) Shawn Marion Zydranus Illgauskus Brandon Roy Eddie Jones and Vlade Divac Chris Webber Aryvdas Sabonis Juwan Howard Mitch Richmond (why couldn't have been one or two good teams in his prime) Adrian Dantley (this one made me so curious, I just read two articles about why he got traded from Detroit; it seemed like he was perfect for the Pistons, I know Mark Aguirre was a good player, but he was Dantley) (1) (1) http://www.pistonpowered.com/2010/1...-didnt-trade-adrian-dantley-for-mark-aguirre/ http://www.nba.com/pistons/news/trades_080218.html OT: Maybe that's what the Blazers were lacking a strong head coach. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/842559/Sabonis-disses-Blazers-Dunleavy.html
