Who would have been perfect to round out a Big 3 that included Yao and T-Mac?

    Either pick from someone today or someone in the T-Mac/Yao era (from 04/05 to whatever seasons they both played together)

    Kevin Garnett back then would have been ideal. A perfect cover for Yao's deficiencies on defense, a third option on offense, and a defense with KG and Yao anchoring the paint would have been unstoppable. A line up of Alston/McGrady/Battier/Garnett/Yao would definitely have won a championship or two.

    Yup. Yao and Tmac in the past couldn't bring us the championship we want. Now it's Lin and Harden time.

    Ron Artest was a nice addition, but Yao and T-Mac couldnt get healthy, I really think that big 3 healthy, would have won against the lakers, and maybe even going to the NBA finals.

    A dynamite point guard who could pass the ball proficiently, especially into the paint, and hit open 3s. Or...a 4 that could stretch and pass into a posting Yao.
