    Hayes would be devastating on this team.

    If we can't pick Hakeem, then Robert Horry.

    Lawson
    Harden
    Ariza
    Horry
    Howard

    That team wins 70+ games.

    Horry for sure

    Great weak side shot blocker, great passer including entry passing to the post for dmo, clutch 3 pt shooting and just the quintessential glue guy next to Ariza to make that starting 5 work

    Horry in his prime would be a great fit!

    I can only imagine Harden and Howard running and hugging Horry in disbelief after clutch shot after clutch shot by Big Shot Rob.

    Absolutely. He made life easier for Dream, Shaq, and Duncan. 6'10 could slam, pass, block.... Horry was everything you could ask to compliment a big man. Dissappeared during the regular season but when it mattered most, he shined.

    Young Horry would be perfect on today's rockets

    Excluding stars and the championship roster, this team right now could really use a guy like Kevin Willis as a backup big man. He can play both 4 and 5 spots, can rebound, has a jumpshot, and can hit FTs. Perfect fit.

    Oh and of course Derek Fisher.

    Moses would be the obvious choice with him on board we'd go 82-0.

    Outside of the the hall of famers I would like to see a prime Glen Rice draining threes off of Lawson and Harden.

    They need a role player, Rober Horry would be perfect and play him at the 4. Great defender, one of his best if not his best attribute and he is still Big Shot Bob.

    Yes, Moses is the second best player after Hakeem but Dwight is great at the center position.

    You have to address power forward so honorable mention would be O.T. Otis Thorpe and I would consider bringing in Mad Max to play 1 and 2 because Max on Curry would just be too damn fun.

    Oh and McGrady actually makes this team worse because is is the most inefficient "superstar" the Rockets ever had (stealing shots from guys who shoot +.450) and he his defense stinks.

    I assume people picking someone other than Moses Malone are just too young to know any better.
