No Not even just No... but Heck No.... Maybe stronger than that is necessary... like OH H3LL NO! I can't stand that guy.
But Joakim Noah will further increase the Rockets' league-leading ability to draw technical fouls by the opposing team. He doesn't even have to do anything. Just seeing his face causes some players to commit technical fouls.
I am willing to forgo the extra opponent tech to ensure he remains in Chicago... or anywhere not Houston.
Serious question, why do you not want him on the team(not that it would be an option) because he is a hard worker, intense, has his teammates back and is trying to improve his game constantly? Sure the guy is annoying as fudge but he basically demonstrates everything the Rox are about, not backing down from anyone at anytime.
Consider it irrational hate. I have never liked him, won't ever like him, and would detest having to cheer for him as a Rocket. There are very few players in the league that I can't stand... but he's one of them. Consider it like the Karl Malone of my basketball fandom.
His personality is annoying. But his energy, length, athleticism, ability to rebound, run the floor, block shots ... I'd love to have that kind of player on this team.
"Hardly no offense?" That means he's got a ton of offense. You mean hardly ANY offense. Go review your English textbook, thank you.
Noah is simply just the perfect center for our type of game. So at this point I don't mind trading away Yao for him. But of course, Yao is also our marketing tool.
You might have irrational hate towards J.Noah,but hatred towards Karl Malone is a very rational emotion to have. That doesn't mean that I want to hurt anyone.
Joakim Noah is the type of player that will fit in perfectly with this Rockets team. His hard work, passion, and hustle plays on the court along with being scrappy, he will fit in with Houston. Question is, we have to lose someone who is somewhat valuable to us to get him.
and that is Yao. win-win for both teams. we can even keep tmac if he really is going to accept his new role. we can be an instant championship contender THIS YEAR if that trade happens. i repeat, THIS YEAR.
