Here are the rosters for your consideration:

Spoiler:
C: Wilt Chamberlain- Self explanatory
F: Connie Hawkins- One of the greatest forwards to play the game
F: Cedric ceballos- Athleticism
G: Eddie Jones- Mini Kobe
G: Brian Shaw
6th Man: Derek Fisher
Coach: Frank Vogel
GM's word: The second I got Wilt, I knew my offense would be run through the half court. The ball will be force fed into Wilt as the first option and then Mr. Hawkins as the second option. Brian Shaw and Derek Fishers job is to basically bring the ball up the court pass it up to my bigs and shoot the open three whenever the clog the lane. Eddie Jones and Cedric can shoot the three as well and also run the floor when needed. Derek Fisher as my sixth man was needed so he can replace Shaw during the last minutes of the game hitting clutch shots and just overall using his hustle/intangibles on the offensive as well as the defensive end of the floor.
Defense:
Frank Vogel will preach defense and having Wilt anchor the defense is anyones dream (No one is coming into EArl's paint with the big dipper waiting for you). Every player I have is a capable defender and with Vogels help will learn to play great team defense.

PG: Sedale Threatt
Specialized in playing tough fast handed defense, hence nicknamed "The Thief". Very sharp and accurate passer, also an efficient scorer when his number was called.
SG: Kobe Bryant
No explanation needed. Simply one of the greatest of all time.
SF: Jim Pollard
Exceptional all around athlete, primarily known for his leaping ability. Extremely versatile player during the era who could play multiple positions.
PF: Lamar Odom
Extremely skilled passer, versatile, and high IQ basketball player with an ability to play 3, 4, or the 5. Too strong and lengthy for opposing threes, too quick for opposing fours and fives. Poses match up issues.
C: Vlade Divac
Widely regarded as one of the passing big men to ever play the game. He was more mobile the most centers and a good shooter from distance, also was very discipline and fundamentally found.
6th man: Donnie Freeman
Career 18.9 ppg. 4x ABA all-star.
HC: Mike Brown
One of the best defensive coaches in the game today. Career 65% win percentage, and has never failed to make the playoffs in his 7 seasons as a hc.
---
My goal was ultimately to surround Kobe with players who can compliment him. This squad is full of efficient scorers who excel as passing the ball and playing unselfish basketball. Versatility could pose alot of matchup issues, and make the team a really tough cover. There might not be a lot of defensive standouts on my roster but I expect Mike Brown to mask that with his defensive expertise. All in all I think this team has a alot of potential to succeed on both ends of the court as long as guys play within the scope of their roles

C George Mikan
F Spencer Haywood
F Rick Fox
G Derek Harper
G Gary Payton
6th Man Sam Perkins[/b]
Coach Rick Adelman
Where do i begin ? To tell the story of how .. ups wrong song. George Mikan was one of the first superstar in the NBA. No matter how you look at it, he once a dominant force in the NBA. Spencer Haywood is a modern PF type, can shot, can bang, can rebound, athletic, has decent court vision. Rick Fox, the ultimate glue player, he'll do everything in defense, & shoot 3pt in decent clip, not egoistical. Derek Harper, tough defensive guy, one of the most renowed perimeter defenders in 90's, he's like better version of Shump/Bradley, but can shot & dish dimes, but he's unselfish. Payton, a great defensive guard, also a superstar on offensive side. Perkins was one of the first shooting big, & he's not soft, not like today shooting big. Clutch in the crunch time.
With Rick Adelman coaching, i believe this team will be flourishing, Mikan & Spencer, both of them has great court vision, they will play in the post ala C-Webb/Divac/Brad Miller.. they can kill inside or kick out to open man. Rick Fox will be the 3&D guy like Doug Christie, Derek Harper can be 2nd ballhandler next to Payton, while can shot/creating when necessary. Rick Adelman can use point guard pretty good.. Terry Porter, BJ Armstrong, Jason Williams, Bibby, Brooks, Rubio etc etc all flourish in his tutelage, so theoritically Payton will be super fine playing with him. Sam Perkins will be fill in Odom role without the ball handling. This team will be exciting, believe me.
