    OTs intensity, professionalism, rebounder, and defense would all be be perfect along side Crouching Yao... and the one handed dunks followed by the hang on the ring would be sweet too

    I don't know that Maxwell's D would be quite as good in today's league, with the emphasis on no-hand checking and stuff. Good perimeter defenders from that time used their hands a lot (and effectively)

    OT no doubt.

    I seriously think that is all the Rockets need.

    Well... That and a new coaching staff, but that's a different issue.

    Otis Thorpe, no question.

    Rebounding and defense is exactly what we DON'T have at PF. We could get everything else from the guys we currently have but some things will never change, we can't rebound and I don't think any of our current PF's could guard a mailbox let alone an elite PF.

    Unfortunately, I think Yao is always going to need an OTesque power forward to do the dirty work and be an enforcer.

    IF we had OT and Horry with Yao. That would be awesome.
