    Yep.

    Bev
    Harden
    Parsons
    Howard
    Yao

    No one would score in the paint. Yao with length, and Howard with the weakside help (a la Ibaka).

    On the offensive side, Harden - Howard/Yao PnR would be unstoppable. Or you could Harden PnR with Howard and have Yao ready to hit jumpers.

    On the other hand:

    McGrady
    Harden
    Parsons
    Jones
    Howard

    Would be ridiculous as well.

    TMac prime in the system we use now would be awesome. Can he play the 4 though? Either TMac or Parsons would need to bulk up for us then it's a wrap.

    Totally agree, he played extremely well next to Hakeem. Worked so efficient with no lag or drama whenever he played on different teams

    On other hand, Scola , Dragic badly needed for current Rocket's roster

    I don't understand why Robert Horry is not winning. He would be perfect for this team.

    Why didn't Elvin Hayes make this poll again?

    Barkley should be on the poll. And that would make us champions.

    Yao and Dwight would be the true twin towers and give each other space since Yao can play outside the paint and hit those mid range jumpers.

    Can't believe Yao is leading. IMO Big Mo would be a perfect fit next to D12. Horry starting in place of CP would be great too.

    Because he only played one good season in Houston, and was a black hole with the ball basically. His last 3 seasons of his career which were spent in Houston he was getting up there, so I thought there were way better choices.


    Either way, that's why I put an "other" option.

    May sound cheesy but i think mad max would fix a lot of problems we have.

    Aren't we having enough problems with people who would be starters on another team?

    Drexler because he was a badass, but he would replace Harden.

    I wonder if there's any chance at all of Yao actually coming back? Even half a season. 1/4 of a season. 12-15 minutes a game in 6 minute spurts. It's not like he'd be difficult to integrate into the bench.
