I know the 2000s were not the most talented team, but here is my lineup. I may be forgettting somebody. PG: Steve Francis SG: Cuttino Mobley SF: Tracy McGrady PF: Lus Scola C: Yao Ming
How about a worst team with players who actually got playing time and were part of the rotation? PG: Rod Strickland/Andre Barret??? SG: Derek Anderson/Luther Head SF: Scott Padgett/Bonzi Wells PF: Stromile Swift/Clarence Weatherspoon C: Kelvin Cato/Jason Collier (RIP)
Yao/Mutumbo Scola/Landry/Hayes McGrady/Battier Mobley/Jim Jackson Francis/Brooks/Alston Really wanted to include Sura, but injuries prevented him from playing enough games to qualify for me. Edit: Replaced Lowry with Brooks and Martin with Jackson. Serious consideration was given to Juwan Howard/David Wesley/Mo Taylor
now this is a team I'd pay to watch (I saw the equivalent of this team when I went to a Rockets game when both Yao and T-Mac were injured)
You're going to include Kevin Martin, who only played 23 games for the Rockets in that decade? (Also, those thinking of including Kyle Lowry, he didn't take his leap to "very good starter" until the decade was over.) I think the Francis/Mobley/T-Mac/Scola/Yao lineup is pretty much a no-brainer for the decade of 2001-2010.
Yeah Moochie has got to make that squad... Flying Ryan Bowen???....where's Matt Bologna Maloney??....
Mental failure on my part. I'm still living in the 00's. Constantly forgetting they are long gone. I have to think about who to have instead... Replaced Lowry with Brooks. Fairly easy choice. Replaced Martin with Jimmy Jackson. It's really between him and Wesley.
Although Lowry didn't get the playing time in that decade, he would be better for that team than Franchise. Also I feel obligated to include Artest on this team.
dude ryan bowen was not as bad as scott padgett, atleast bowen did something in the playoffs against the mavs. the only thing scott padgett ever do is play bad ass in that kings game...which we ended up losing and i would not put john lucas III and moochie norris over rod strickland and andre barret...those guys were TERRIBEL !
Andre Barrett didn't get a lot of playing time. Mike James or Steve Francis in their second stint were worse. Lucas III was great in the summer league.
I'd put Tmac at SG and Metta World Peace at SF PG: Franchise SG: Tmac SF: World Peace PF: Scola C: Yao This team can win at least 2 championships in a 5 years span.
