    hey guys just heard a probable 4 way trade involving Fortson, so looks like whatever hope some here on heBBS had of geting him is gone now.

    Boston, Dallas, Utah and GS are the teams involved.

    Boston gets Robert Pack + future #1 pick
    Dallas gets Howard Eisley
    Utah gets Donyell Marshall
    GS gets Fortson

    Man i think Dallas gets a steal with Eisley and Utah doesnt do bad either. What do you guys think

    The Jazz actually get a steal. DAMN! They lose Eisley, Padgett, and Keefe (from what I've heard) and pick up a decent player in Marshall. They lose two horrible players and one overrated one (Eisley) in exchange for an average player. Please, just kill me now.

    Utah is getting a decent player in Donyell, but I still dont think they will pass the second round of the playoffs. Starks and Donyell to repalce Eisley and Horny is not bad, but how long can Stockton keep up. That b**** is not going to be able to give them over 30 min. Horny wont be there to make buzzer beaters and save em from 24 second shot clock violations. Hopefully Starks and Malone get into a fight. That would be Kick ASS!!!!1

    Did anyone notice that there is a forum called.........NBA Dish? Cause that is usually where you post threads that involve the NBA but not the Rockets!

    Did anyone notice that, dating all the way back to last season, posters have repeatedly brought up Fortson as a possible target for the Rockets?

    The repeated references to Fortson and how he would or would not fit in with Houston make this topic relevant in this forum ...

    Hey, if threads need to be moved to another forum, let the folks that WORK FOR CC.NET DO IT. Unless you get a paycheck from them, just deal with it. Geeze, we have enough policing of the site by non-administrators (Mango, this means you!! [​IMG]).

    LIGHTEN UP, it is not your job!

    HoopT,

    some people want to help keep a little order on this BBS, deal with it.

    BTW, as far as I know, no one gets paid for running this site.

    HOOP-T,

    You criticize Miggidy but give a big smiley face to Mango?? I agree that we should leave it to the admins to move inappropriate threads, but jumping on one guy isn't fair.

    it's funny how some people are quick to jump on people for "posting in the wrong forum". they're the first ones to try to do an admin's job. but, it someone tries to criticize rudy t, that person is stoned and beaten for questioning authoritiy and "not trusting" rudy or carrol or whomever to do their job. the way i see it, if someone has an opinion, let them voice it. if you deem their opinion wrong, fine, state yours. but don't criticize their right to say it, or try to channel where they can say it. especially when you have nothing to say about the topic yourself.

    anyways, i don't see why everyone's so hyped up on fortson. problem #1: he can't shoot the j. no need to go to problem #2, because without the ability to shoot the j, he won't fit in on the rockets.

    What are you talking about verse? I fail to see the correlation.

    True Rocket fans know that anything involving the Utah Jazz is of importance to the Rockets and a "by your leave" isn't necessary on this topic.

    Okay, then let's have all the "true" Rocket fans post threads solely about the Jazz in the Rocket forum. Pick apart their roster, talk about the pick and roll, and petition to bring back dignity bear.

    Ahh, I criticize no one, simply stated my case. It really doesn't pain me at all if we have an anal group of folks that like to police the BBS. I just think it's silly that people like to jump on others for a misplaced thread. Just my opinion, doesn't mean it's right. I am sure I have said things in here that others have not liked or agreed with.

    Just incase this was mistaken for criticism. That's all I have to say about that.

    To those of you who do not like the rules that this silly little BBS imposes on your 'true rocket fan' self please visit a more appropriate site.

    We'll miss you. [​IMG]

    Achebe,
    I am not sure whom you are directing that to, but I was unaware of any set of rules that we are bound to here. If there are some rules, please send me to them (the Serious Police member signatures don't count). Otherwise, enjoy the misplaced threads that everyone is trying to redirect with no apparent luck.

    I originally had a nice light-hearted rebuttal for Crisco, but after reading other responses I quickly realized it wouldn't be appreciated.

    You would have to be light-hearted. [​IMG]

    That was pointed at roughly 5 posters. [​IMG]

    Consumption-Cain: Starks even polished the Rockets' first trophy... but this post is still in the wrong forum.

    I will say this about Eisley and Vaughn:

    How do we know what Vaughn can do? He never played! Poor Jacque. Anyway, I don't think Eisley wanted to stay in Utah, did he? I find it hard to believe that Dallas wants him anyway, they are loaded with guards, and resigned Hubert Davis and Greg Buckner too. I thought Nash would be the staring PG, but I bet if Eisley ends up there, it will be a toss up.

    Strickland is gone and Pack will be, so that helps.
