Awesome acquisition by Cuban and Co.

I really like them grabbing Collison too. Personally, I think he's an overlooked PG. But we'll find out how much he can stand out now that he's playing in the Western conference.

Isn't New Orleans in the west

true the numbers are misleading but 92 is still better...if rose and howard were on this year's team there might be a better argument but kobe, bron, durant ain't jordan, magic, bird

I didn't include bird in my assement. He was old and breaking down by then.

Lebron might be the only player on the current team to start on the 92 team. Always thought it would be fun to see pippen in his prime guard lebron

But every other positio., i'm taking a 92 player

Pippen vs. Bron would be fun, but so would Bron defending MJ. Old Magic vs. CP3/Derron/Westbrook would be a good matchup. Old Kobe vs. Middle Aged Jordan kind of interesting, Ewing vs. Chandler goes to the '92, and then Melo (an awesome international dude) vs. Drexler/Malone would be close. Oh yeah and then whose going to defend Durantula? I think the new team's defense would be miles better than the old guys, not b/c of talent, but because they have all played together for quite awhile now. Still tough to pick against the old guys.

Humphries back to the Nets. 2 years/24 million. Worth it IMO.

Kobe vs MJ isn't close.
Melo vs Malone/Drexler isn't close.

Kobe doesn't have to guard MJ at all LeBron has that duty, and you think Malone could stay in front of Melo? Drexler played defense about as good as Melo does. These teams are closer than most give credit for. Again I'd probably still say old guys, but this is 20 years of human athletic advancement on - LeBron would destroy every single guy on the original dream team. None of them had seen a Durant, Westbrook would cause problems for Magic. This isn't a blowout game.

He's been coming into his own the past two seasons in a Nets uniform. If he keeps the trajectory, he's a worthy asset for his work on the boards and his ability to get double digit points per game.

i agree it wouldn't be a blowout....92 in 6

i disagree that leborn would destroy everyone....sure you put lebron on jordan, but lets remember, jordan wasn't eactly short and unathletic. from the blow by, the jab step back jumped, to the post game....he could score at will then, and he could score at will now.

like i said before, i'd love to see a in his prime pippen take on a in his prime lebron. lebron is just a tick taller as well as being stronger physically. but pippen was a lock down defender, we're talking all time great wing defenders. i could see him forcing lebron to pass the ball and make it difficult for a return pass.

at point guard magic would tower over anything that 12 has....and could play out top or in the post....that said, 12 would be able to break down the defense on penetration better...but robinson and eweing were solid back lines. also, if you wanted, you could slide magic over to lebron and pippen or jordan onto the point.

i think i'd actually like to see the 72 win bulls team take on the current dream team...there you get a uber confident group, that had one of the best D's ever.

Jeremy Lin's Departure Teaches Knicks Fans Important Lesson About Getting Excited By The Knicks

JULY 17, 2012

NEW YORK—Following the Knicks' decision Tuesday not to match the Houston Rockets' three-year, $25-million offer for point guard Jeremy Lin, depressed New York fans learned a valuable lesson about ever feeling even the slightest bit of excitement for their team. "Goddammit," longtime fan Erik Reid, 52, said upon hearing the Knicks had opted to acquire Raymond Felton from Portland in lieu of re-signing Lin, the team's sole bright spot in an otherwise forgettable 2011-2012 season. "I guess it makes sense when you think about the Ewing-Riley team of the '90s, the entire Isiah Thomas era, spending $100 million on Amar'e Stoudemire, LeBron James choosing Miami over New York, and basically every single management decision under James Dolan. Christ, I really should know better by now." As of press time, Reid had spent several minutes staring wistfully at his Knicks season ticket-renewal form before begrudgingly filling it out and putting it in the mail.

I can't believe the Knicks said they would pay a billion for him, and then did not match $25 million
