For those providing serious responses, and including Barkley, I would contend that the definition of Role Player should at least mean that the player was never an NBA All-Star for the Rockets.

Barkley was an All-Star in his first season with us logging 19 pts / 13.5 rebounds.

I'm going with the 4 Clutch City starters plus Deke. Don't overthink this. Chemistry, defense and 3pt shooting.

Smith
Maxwell
Horry
Thorpe
Deke

Tyrone Lue (NBA Finals experience)
Richie Frahm (undervalued Morey type guy)
Ryan Bowen (can stretch him to the 4 if need be)
Brian Cook (do I even need to explain)
Hasheem Thabeet (first name rhymes with Hakeem)

Anyone care to argue?
