    Shane Battier

    Always the first player I think of when someone asks a question like this.

    I know it can be any retired player but I'd want Olynyk because we need a competent backup center and he was a good teammate when he was here.

    He might be acquirable since the Jazz will eventually realize they need to be tanking.

    Olynyk averaged 19 points per game for the Rockets so he does not qualify.

    Haha, just realized your requirements.....but I doubt the NBA has such high standards......or else just stick to the current players altogether?

    Why are scoring numbers that important when players like Olynyk do not play major minutes.......

    Haha, but in this case people did not even read the first sentence of the post either! :D
    Sure, it is a nonsense post but still hilarious that people took their time to reply even though they did not care to read the first sentence of the post properly.

    The first sentence in this case was the thread title.

    He was a former all-star (8X), so wouldnt qualify. Lol honestly the 10PPG and former all star rule make it very difficult to pick.

    Yep, but he wasn't an All-Star with the Rockets, and I think he averaged less than 5 PPG. Still, Mt. Mutombo was very effective. The 22-game win streak wouldn't have happened without him.

    ps. OP rule is performance with the Rockets, not all-time.
