For the record, if you can't remove any of the 50, I would not have Rodman, M. Gasol, or Bosh, but I do think they are more important to league history then Wilkens, Arizin, and Maravich.

Bosh and M Gasol just don’t jump out at me as historically best players.
They are both better than lenny wilkens, paul arizin, and pete maravich though and there aren't many others that aren't on my 75 that I'd even consider having over them (and admittedly some of the Bosh appeal for me is the heart condition i.e. he lost several years of stats - and for Gasol, i think he has shown a great adaptability that you'd want from a player changing his style of play and game completely).
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

They almost surely will not remove anybody, but they’ll probably add these 25 (* for virtually guaranteed to make it):

Barely missed the cut for top 50 at the time:

Reggie Miller *
Chris Mullin
Dominique Wilkins

Retired but too young to make the top 50:

Kobe Bryant *
Tim Duncan *
Kevin Garnett *
Steve Nash *
Dwayne Wade
Dirk
Allen Iverson
Jason Kidd
Gary Payton
Paul Pierce
Ray Allen

Active:

LeBron James *
Steph Curry *
Kevin Durant *
Giannis *
Chris Paul
Kawhi Leonard
James Harden
Carmelo Anthony
Anthony Davis
Dwight Howard
Nikola Jokic
