[David Aldridge] What Bonzi's "Personal Issues" were...

Sucks because I was always a fan of Bonzi Wells. I think he could have really helped us. But whatever... This does sound like something Bonzi would say/do.

 

i was going to post this but you got it before me. he is a chemistry killer... if this is true, why the hell did he decline? this situation is getting worse.... i think we should look to trade him and juan (if we can) for someone. seriously...

 

That sounds about right. He must have gotten that groin injury when his ahem got stuck up his ahem.

Hey, Bonzi! You're overpaid.

 

And we thought he was going to be on his best behavior because he was in a contract year. Turns out he's sulking because of his crappy contract (the opposite reaction.)

Hopefully he figures it out and starts contributing. It is possible for a player to climb out of a coach's doghouse. He did get some minutes in the regular season so it can't be as bad as it was when he missed preseason time for "personal reasons."

 

Well looks like my prediction wasn't too far off now was it?

Whatever, it's his loss. Was never really that excited about the Bonzi signing than some on this board were in the first place.

However, the question is, what next for Bonzi? If he's gonna screw up like that in what is essentially another contract year, he's just gonna drop his stock even further, and it already is underlining his notorious reputation as a locker room cancer.

 

Derek Anderson all over again. Hope Rox can get a couple good draft picks for trading Wells.

 

Don't you guy get it. Jvg keep him in dog house, so next year no one wants him for big money. And yet that PRECIOUS belongs to Van GUNDY AGAIN.

 

I think we need to look at the name of the video before drawing any conclusions here, which is, Aldridge reports on what he believes to be the real story behind Bonzi Wells "personal matters." I would like to emphisize the "what he believes"

 

I think this is being over-done here. Bonzi will get in shape and help the roxs by midseason. Relax

 

Hopefully Gundy can check his own ego for the good of the team and not pull a Derek Anderson with him.

Bonzi is too good a player to **** this situation up.

 

agreed. too early to tell anything

 

Really?

Not saying I don't believe this or that it isn't true, but DA has had his share of Vescey-isms.

 

How would Aldridge even learn this information? If there was such an exchange between JVG and Bonzi, it seems like it would be just between them.

 

Whatever happened, JVG should really exercise his person management skills. If he can bring the best out of someone like Bonzi, then that's a true measure of a good coach.

Make no mistake, Rockets truly need Bonzi in his best to contend. People who say it's Bonzi's loss etc doesn't really understand that we need the guy. I just hope everything works out finally

 

maybe jvg called him a fatty and he got offended

 

Cut the cancer from our team before it spreads.

 

no, filing it away so your ego won't be bruisied.

he wasn't giving you a stuff in the face, don't be so sensitive.

does he have to give you every article so you can feel happy?

 

Interesting to see how this will unfold. Unfortunately Bonzi isn't the type of guy where we can say, 'No way, Aldridge, that would never happen!'

Whether it's true or not, I still don't like Bonzi's attitude 'I don't need the preseason, I'm a veteran and I'm always ready it's no big deal.' I think we're all aware of Yao's work ethic. Tmac, who at least I still consider one of the top guys in the game, played the entire preseason. I guess they needed it more than you, huh, Bonzi?
