Players you want to see back in the NBA

[ozballer23]

After reading an interesting article about Steph Marbury taking up an assistant coaching position in China, I couldn't help watching some old clips of him recently playing in China. He can still ball! Made me wonder what sort of impact he would have back in the League. Certainly some teams can use some help at the point, Celts and Mavs to name a couple.

Which brings me to my question, which players (who can still play) would you like to see back on a roster?

I'd love to see;

Allan Ray
Marbury
Iverson
Arenas
Jay Williams (02-03 RC)

 

[Jaames]

Eddy Curry

 

[Billyhoyle]

greg oden
