This picture from chron.com sums it all "I can't wait to get back to the locker room and get me some crack" - AB
Daniel is just as much a diva imho.... Don't get me wrong, he's tall, but I'd rather do without him. There has to be something better than Orton out there.
This is what I thought at first, then was distracted by the Melo-Drama and LeHour. "Business decisions" are being made from both sides of the bench.
I do feel somewhat bad for him because he did essentially lose his job to injury but at the same time, the signs were there even last year. He seemed to let his emotions get to him way to much to be a leader but I'd hope he'd matured over the summer...I guess I was wrong.
Guess we'll see. A public apology is the obvious thing to do and something owed to the other players on the team, putting aside Adelman, the staff, and the organization. His agent is probably telling him the same thing.
the dude aint that short maybe by nba standards but not by regular standards! 5'1 5'6 would be NC...... sssshh give me ish's salary ill be all good! lol
He'll make a big apology. It will help his career and the Rockets' ability to trade him. This baby act does hurt his trade value, but if he apologizes and makes nice for a few weeks then we may be able to get something decent for him.
Really is too bad, he is a good player. But that is just inexcusible. Will probably be traded before the deadline, hopefully we can get something good for him, but he really killed his trade value with this quitting business. Sigh...
I wish this wouldn't have gotten out. We are losing leverage, first his play and now quiting on his team. He can't be trade fast enough for me.

Holy Moses Malone! I don't think I've ever -- EVER -- seen a Houston Rocket walk off the court of his own volition during a game. It's worse than unprofessional. Showing up late for practice is unprofessional. This is unforgivable. I suppose if AB were to make a sincere apology and come back and play his a$$ off for the rest of the year, we might feel better about it. Something tells me, though, that he'll issue whatever standard apology his agent types up for him, then semi-mope his way through the rest of his short future with the Rockets. So sad. I liked rooting for AB. Seemed like a good guy.
Its just extremely immature on ABs part and totally inexcusable, but i feel management isn't completely vindicated when it comes to the matte.r
