Perdue cut by the Bulls.....

Perdue is a veteran that has height. He is better than Pig. OINK OINK!

Will Purdue could give us another big body in case any of our big guys go down. In the 96 season he averaged 8 points and 9 boards a game in 24 minutes.

Does anybody know the length of his contract with the Bulls? If he is still getting that 5 million per year we can sign him for the league minimum. That is the only way I'll agree to obtaining this guy.



------------------

 

Any team that is planning on competing with the Lakers need a lot of big bodies to foul Shaq with. I wouldn't mind picking him up for the minimum. Even if he never leaves the bench except vs. LA, I think we could use him.

"The guy was cut from the WORST team in the league ... and you want to pick him up?!"

If that was the case I guess Portland didn't have a very good team, since Augmon was cut by us (a lottery team).

Perdue will be a Rocket when Clutch becomes a Jazz fan!

Don't count on it.

Purdue, when he was in San Antonio, is much better than Pig is now.

Pig is a better rebounder and a wash defensively, but he sucks offensively. At least Purdue can do something with the ball.

And if Drew is traded, there has to be at least one white guy to take his place. Quotas ya know.

But again, I dont think he should command a lot of money, AND I highly doubt the Rockets will give him a hard look.

But that doesn't mean he would be a bad pickup for a third string center.

I like Pig as our third string center. I hope he resigns.

Perdue is a horrendous offensive player. He has not one move. Not one. He is good for a trash bucket or two, a few boards, and maybe some fouls. I pass.....

Hey Shaq, Acme called, and they want their bricks back!

 

AxSomebody,
I agree wholeheartedly with you. But somebody earlier in the post had said Perdue could do something with the ball whereas Pig could not. I wanted to stress that Perdue is horrible at creating his own shot, no moves, and is really bad on the offensive end as a whole. I know he can contribute, but in my opinion, he is not able to run the floor or finish well on the break. With the new style offense that the Rockets are implementing, he would not fit in too well.

I don't see Rudy even giving him a second glance.

I still say Purdue is better offensively than Pig.

How is Perdue better than Pig?

Pig is just as good a defender as Perdue. Neither is dominating, but can hold their ground. If anything I think Pig is slightly better because he can get after his man and push him away from the basket quicker than Perdue can.

On offense, Pig is alot better. I don't mean by scoring points because there are more ways than putting in baskets to be a good offensive player. Pig rebounds well for his size and does one thing Perdue doesn't do....he runs the floor with enthusiasm.

Try and picture this...would you rather have Perdue running the floor with Francis, Mobes, and Shandon or Pig? The Rockets did very well in the transition game with Pig running with our small lineup. I don't see how Perdue could possibly help.

Forget about the Rockets picking up Perdue. We don't need that slug. But I have to wonder if this can't help the Rockets in a different way. I read somewhere (Hoopsworld, I believe) that the Bulls were interested in trading one of their lottery picks. With the Bulls dropping Perdue, they will have to take Mihm with #4. If the Rockets could trade with them we could get Miles at #7.
