Two quick points:

Certainly, the 90s had better players overall than the 00s had but with Tinsley on the 00s team they would have a decent chance to beat the 90s team...Tinsley made the other players on his team better.

Homan close to as good as Cato? Please! Cato's ability to tend the goal and block shots allowed the entire team to play much more aggressively on perimeter defense than they would otherwise be able to do. Cato had a far greater impact on the defensive end than most people actually realize.

I like your team, and agree across the board in terms of talent, but if I were actually looking to win a game with that team, I would put Kantrail in place of Stinson. Tough, tough defender, and a team player all the way. Could go all game without scoring (just doing that little things that win games), and then rise up and hit a huge shot to win the game. Kantrail is very underrated.
