    I like it but thats because I had a similar strategy last draft.

    I had both frazier and dr.j and dominant center...i had hakeem instead of your wilt. And instead of Hayes i had another rocket in Drexler.

    The feedback I received was that Dr j. wasn't a good defender and frazier wasn't a good pg to lead my group. Everything I've read has told me the exact opposite but it seems like you know your old school NBA better than I do and maybe you can explain it to the judges

    So if you guys were the ROckets GM what would you do? and if your trading for a superstar what would you give up

    For Dwight Howard, I used to think it was fine to give up a ton to the Magic, but now that we know that Orlando has no one else that could even come close to satisfying their wants in young players and picks: F'EM! The Rockets are correct in holding back and offering just a little bit more than everyone else. So, if the Magic want to hold on to him until February - because they apparently can't pass up on future Hall of Famer Brook Lopez - and allow a dogging it Howard to screw up their draft position by leading them to wins in spite of himself, then let'em, they can be as stupid as they want to be.

    The Rockets are ALL IN either way and I LOVE IT. They either trade for Howard and gamble on resigning or they don't trade for him (or anyone else) and they gamble on their young players and the draft lottery.

    I'm using the 72 win team as a model. Difficult to replace Pippen's versatility, but not impossible.

    Thats cool. The 72 win bulls was my favorite team and Pippen was my favorite NBA player. But keep in mind voters on this site are not too fond of the Bulls especially Pippen.

    EDIT: Moses Malone, Kevin Durant, and Dirk Nowitzki are on the block
