    Cuttino Mobley. Just give him one more year to adjust. He went from the first scoring option in 02(Steve was hurt) to the third scoring option, and basically a spot up shooter half the time. So what does he do? Instead of b****in and complaining, he works harder on the defensive end and tries to get better as a spot up shooter! He is a keeper folks! good compliment to Steve and Yao. Let him heal his wheels and work on his shot this summer and you dont need to look any further than the Rockets to find your complimentary player. :cool:

    KG would be great!

    I also belive Webbers strength fit this team best. He is a pf that can go inside and out, he runs well, good shooter, great passer, strong D, playoff expereince.

    Realize you want to add a productive player with shared touches. TMac dominates the ball.

    Dumbcan would be good but I dont like him so Im bias.

    R Wallace and Brand would work well also.

    Guard....Center....uhh... a forward maybe.

    Anyway the answer to the question who would you like to add to your team....if anyone ever asks you again... is.... MVP - Tim Duncan.

    Wang Zhi Zhi Realstically.

    Wang's a guy can shoot, that solves our PF shooting problem. He's pretty smart too. Yao & Wang would be a twin tower that any team will have a tough time to stop.

    Yeah, screw the starting point guard for the western all-stars.... we'd be better off without him! In fact, another good thing would be to get rid of Mobes so Yao won't have to worry about Tito or Norris wanting to shoot much and he can just trounce the entire NBA by himself. Just like that Jordan dude always had that Pippen dude in the way.

    i'll exclude all first tier superstars because they're not complementing anyone. i would wet my pants if the rockets ever got this guy next to yao and steve.

    John Stockton would also be a good PG to split time with Steve. Steve could play some at the 2.

    Did you see that Realistically after the name? All you guys thinking about T-Mac, KG, it ain't realistic. I think wehave a good shot landing Wang, that's all.

    If it's just dreaming, I would say T-Mac.
    :D

    if you think that then you must be crazy.

    Shawn Bradley is a stiff.

    Wang can shoot. Plus he's tall and he is pretty cheap. With Wang's shooting at PF, it's hard to double team or triple team yao. Wang's going to space out the floor. How many times you see EG bricks the threes even when wide open? Wang is going to knock those down at least.

    Elton Brand:- because he would complement Francis and Yao Ming in as much as he doesnt have to have the ball to be playing well.He would improve the Defence of the Team and play a vital part of the teams passing game. He is a great rebounder and shot blocker, he can put it into the basket when needed.

    ok realistic lly people he was 13/8/>2/>2 last year. with running out of gas and a slow start in the beginning. even if rudy was here you know Yoa would get more iso this year and do better rebounds making him a 16/9 player. if he is more aggressive on D. and people acually hit there shot he should proberly be a 17/9.5/2/2 player.

    He was not the 15th option on the tema last year, I have seen little in the summer leagues and last season that made me think he deserved more opportunities than he got.
