    Barkley in his mid-late 20's with Philly was a monster. With Lowry healthy and Scola as the back up? They would be mid-high 50's win outfit in a normal season, though OKC would be a tough matchup due to height....

    Talk about a random thread idea... I don't think we could win. Maybe if I was confident that Camby could stay healthy and Lowry was back at 100%. I have no worries about Barkley, but our team still isn't all that talented or tall -- Ibaka on Barkley? Barkley on Gasol? The key would be if Lowry could step-up and deliver. Anyways, I doubt that team would come out of the west.

    That would be a tough ass team, something the Rockets have lacked for a while. Barkley with Hayes backing him up would be a mean ass PF rotation.

    A prime Sir Charles would absolutely destroy Ibaka and/or Gasol. Any other suggestion would be uncivilized.

    Yeah, we would be co favorites with Miami, Chicago and OKC IMO.

    No -- we'd still need a second star to beat OKC and SA.

    I'm still pissed Knight didn't put him on the Olympic Team.

    Anyway...

    Prime Barkley against Gasol or Ibaka?

    Please. The guy dunked on and blocked everyone from Jabbar on down and fought with Laimbeer. Ibaka wouldn't stand a chance and Gasol would be quivering going against Barkley.

    Barkley would freaking terrorize today's NBA.

    He never won a ring because of the Bulls. None of the elite teams right now are on the Bulls level.
