[Chron] Wells gets closer, and JVG says "team doesn't fit"

The most important info is the Sura quote in the end. JVG is to blame for McGrady's Free Throw shooting.

JVG sucks.

Also, JVG expressed interest in trading for Dwyane Wade.

 

since jvg mentianed wade, what do you guys think about rashard, the sonics are bought out by a Oklahoma City owners and are probably moving next year, lewis will be an unrestricted free agent, at the softball charity game this summer when asked about the rockets he was heard saying "whenever they want me Im there".......i like a bigger lineup lewis 6'10>battier 6'8

 

I heard it was JVG that supplied the faulty intelligence that led to the Iraq War.

 

I'm not particularly hot on Rashard Lewis. If Bonzi Walks, sure, maybe we can land a sign and trade for him or something, but I don't think he's better than Shane Battier as far as value to a team is concerned.

Lewis is 6'10, but his rebounding numbers have been in decline since the '01-'02 season, doesn't cause a lot of turnovers, doesn't block a lot of shots, doesn't draw a lot of fouls.

All he gives you is 3 point shooting with a funny form that runs hot and cold, the occasional drive and finish, and the occasional move down on the block.

3rd option material. How he'd fit into our team though, I'm not sure. And there's always the question of whether he'd be willing to take a pay cut and play 3rd fiddle to Yao and Mac.

 

Has Rashard opted out already? He'd get 10+ mil next season if he didn't.

If he has and is looking to be paid he qualifies for the 10 yr vet rate that is currently over 17 mil.

At any rate Rockets won't be able to afford him without trading T-Mac or Yao.

 

He's probably trying to light some fire into Mcgrady with that quote

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know you love Mr. Van. but the simple fact is win baby and all will be well. Oh and by the way I am not ot the group who says fire him after 1 game. I wouldn't have hired him to begin with but since he is our coach why say fire him after 1 game... that's just stupid. I knew going in with all the new faces there would be an adjustment period. That being said there is too much talent on this team to not be successful sooner rather than later. How sooner I don't know but I would say they should play at least close to .500 for the month and only get better from then on. Even JVG promised improvement so lets see it. Just win baby and all will be well.

 

It was sarcasm.

 

Yes, I think that went 53 pages in D&D.

 

How about T-Mac+Wells for D-Wade?

 

Sarcasm, right?

 

I like JVG's response I don't know. His new initials should be Mr. DK. This guy should know what his team needs and him being the coach should have the answers. I guess JVG does not see a contract extension in the horizon and is making plans to head back home. I hope that is not the case but if he is throwing in the towel Mario Elie will be our next coach. One can only dream.

 

Pardon a stupid question, but why do so many people think Mario Elie would make such a great head coach?

 

I disagree, because the way I read into it is that he is questioning Mcgrady's toughness and his heart. Why would he do that? He also mentioned Lebron James in article last year. I know after the season was over I read in the paper that he wanted Mcgrady to get his fg% higher. The first game of the season 33%, very disappointed. I know it's just one game, but has anybody notice that mcgrady's game stays the same. Somewhere down the line commitment isn't there as for as improving your game every year to help you get to the prize that you want so much. And he has yet to solve the Bowen factor. What I mean by this is Bowen gives Mcgrady a lot trouble. Why has he risen over this obstacle. If he was really determined he would solve that puzzle to where Bowen could not hold him. Michael done it on his path, and now you are seeing it with Lebron. When Lebron came into the league, bowen used to give him trouble. Now he's dominating bowen. When you shoot 53% against bowen, you're very good. I say this because I questioned his determination to win a championship.

 

This just shows JVG is a terrible coach. The Rockets have changed a lot of players since he took over the team. At this time, pretty much every player was hand picked by him and still does not kwow how to fit the team.

I am just very disapointed with his approach. When I watch other teams play, prety much every team brings their rockies and new players and show tremendous potential (i.e. Lakers, Utah, LAC) and develop into good players. In our team, new players are not given enough chance, or if we give them a chance, then we realize we have picked a guy that is too short for the position, or just screw the draft.

I am just fustrated with the whole coaching. Maybe is time for a change.

 

Interesting.
"if Wade's available, I'm all for roster changes"???
That means that he doesn't trust either Alston or McGrady and wants to replace the first placing Tmac on PG, or the second, in fear of his shooting???
Isn't that too early?

Cause I can't think of getting Wade as a backup to Tmac or Tmac a backup to wade.

 

hell yeah

 

yes that was exactoy what van gundy was thinking

sheesh

 

whatever, thats 'tarded
