That could be possible.. Bynum to Rockets, Turkoglu to Rockets. Scola and Rockets 1st round draft picks to Magics. Dwight to Lakers. For that to happen the Rockets would want at least some sort of guarantee that Bynum would sign an extension with them.

In other news: "You guys aren't going to believe this, but Kobe Bryant thinks that a team that features him could beat a team that doesn't feature him. No, I know — crazy, right?"

from a random comment:
lol, 11 NBA guys were on the 1992, and all 11 are in the Hall of Fame.
Jordan, PRIME in 1992. Robinson, PRIME. Barkley, PRIME. Pippen, PRIME. Ewing, PRIME. Mullin, PRIME. Drexler, PRIME. Malone, PRIME lol.

Stockton, PRIME and while everyone knows he's the all-time Assists leader, many forget he is the all-time STEALS leader, by miles and miles and he'll never be caught. A tenacious defender who was extremely fast. Remember Gary Payton, "the glove"? Stockton has 33% more steals than him lol. Steals aren't the only indicator, but Stockton was much more than just an Assist machine so let's not lose sight of that.

Laettner...who cares. College kid. If you were really doing that team right, you'd swap him for Isiah Thomas or something (personality conflicts aside). Or Dominique. Or even another college kid like, oh, I don't know...Shaq.

Your 11th and 12th, non-Prime guys are named Magic and Bird. They weren't even in the top 6 in FG Attempts on the team in the Olympics--they were NOT the focal point. Bird only started 3 games. Magic started only 5. People who bash the 1992 as "old, past their primes Bird and Magic" are fooling themselves. It was Jordan's team.

The 2012 is an excellent club (the 2016 should be even better), and with a Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, etc.,healthy this year, who knows. But, this 2012 team is nowhere close to the 1992 team. Bryant is past this prime (not Bird/Magic past...but past his prime). Harden and Iguodala will never go to the hall of fame. It remains to be seen if guys like Blake Griffin will have a hall of fame career. (Blake has to develop another more or two, for example)

Size? The 1992 team had 10 guys that were 6'7" or taller. The 2012 team has 6 guys that tall.

The 2012 team has 2 potential Jordan's though--that's there true ace in the hole. Lebron and Durant are special. Very special. But the game isn't 2v2, or even 3v3. It's at least 5v5 and it's a 12-man roster. 1992 will never be touched.

Watch out for the Washington Wizards in a couple of seasons time (I hope)! They may even make a push for the playoffs this year (Again... I hope)!!

I'm hoping Dwight goes to Atlanta - He was best man at Josh Smith's wedding and is from Atlanta so there's something there. Horford & a pick for Howard would be nice for Orlando although it doesn't help them move the crappy contracts that Hedo & Richardson have.

Maybe they will land him as a FA next year?

hhhmmm not exactly Deron Williams but both Kaman and Collison can play so yeah not bad pickups. Both on 1 year deals as well giving Dallas plenty of flexibility for next years free agency...

Don't get too excited, I'm pretty sure N.O. are going to match the Gordon offer and retain him. But if they don't hey, phoenix could be alright :)

Haha. I know, but Phoenix offered him a Max offer sheet and he said according a report he felt like he was wanted in Phoenix because of the way the franchise welcomed him :)
