    Instead of the trading threads, could we start a thread of which players will be the top five players you would like to pick in the Rox team, let say the begining from the dream area to now.

    I am not making my teams based on talent, but based on how well they would perform with each other.

    First team:
    C Hakeem
    PF Barkley (healthy)
    SF Jim Jackson
    SG Clyde
    PG Kenny Smith

    Second team:
    C Yao
    PF Otis Thorpe
    SF Vernon Maxwell
    SG Cuttino
    PG Francis

    The first team has a bunch of talent and could definitely win a lot of games. The second team I think would be the top contender for a title (assuming Yao develops and becomes around a 21/11 player) There is lots of defense and scoring. Otis brings the tough banger play at PF next to Yao.

    Okay, your second team would no way be a better contender than the first. The first team would own the second every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

    Hakeem
    OT
    Horry
    Maxwell
    Smith

    or

    Hakeem
    Horry
    Elie
    Drexler
    Smith

    There are no other combinations to discuss as far as I am concerned.

    Ok fine. - I forgot the thread starter said from Hakeem on. So.. I get to use Sampson. I get Lucas. I get Clyde. I guess I'll say Horry, to get the big men the ball and shoot the 3.

    Hakeem
    Sampson
    Horry
    Clyde
    Lucas

    Well, if you used Dream's first season as the cut-off mark...

    C - Yao
    SF - Dream
    PF - Sampson(or Barkley if you count his prime years too)
    SG - Drexler
    PG - Francis

    I'd put Lucas in place of Francis if this team actually has to play, since Lucas is definitely a better "point guard" than Stevie. Also, it's pretty amazing that we've never had a top-notch SF on this team for so long.
