    for his entire career. I would love to have him on the team, but damn... he just had that LOOK in his eye, when bypassed for 2 bums. Anyway, I hope we can snag him, but DON'T hold your breath.

    There's a lot of guys that want to stick it to the Rockets for the rest of their career...Elie and Maxwell come to mind. Perhaps we should pick them up too?

    Yeah, but Lewis would really complement our game plan. Maxwell, Elie, Cassell, etc would be superfluous - unnecessary. We've already got our backcourt, it's frontcourt power we need now. Lewis is bigger and more effective than the others in the paint, and might provide a little (badly needed) presence there.

    This has nothing to do with the topic but I'm just curious - why is Elie so pissed at us? He got moved off a losing team onto a championship team. I can understand him being pissed at first, but the extra ring shoulda made up for it... (sorry, I like Mario, and I'd like him to have a decent relationship with the team that gave him a ring)

    Anyway, I'd like to see us pick him up sometime soon - the kid got a raw deal (and so did the Rox, by their own hand). I think he belongs here, and I think he could help the team in an area it really needs help in. I hope he's not the type to hold eternal grudges...

    Two more guys in the "I'm not happy with Houston" category: Othella and Carr. Dickerson and Price didn't have anything to complain about, but I can't imagine Carr signing with us or Othella resigning with us if they had known they were going to be shipped to Canada. Speaking of that, add Kevin Willis to the list.

    don't forget about Sam Mack, i don't think he's too happy w/ us either... and i heard Bill Curley is also FURIOUS with us! [​IMG]

    anyhoo, if Lewis signed with us to go along with our future draft pick...we're gonna be the most athletic and versatile (if we're not already) team in the league next year.

    ooooh yeah! the big 1-0-0 [​IMG]

    But Lewis was near tears when Houston bypassed him for Nancy Drew, and that check-fool!!! Those OTHER vets were just sourpuss, whining millionaires. I kinda hope he does haunt the Rox for a couple more years. It makes for a better rivalry.

    Go Lewis, GO!!! [​IMG]

    If you see Lewis' stats... I don't think we need him. We have some other 10th man in our roster...

    Don't go by stats alone. R. Lewis has been lighting it up.

    He would be a very nice compliment to our backcourt.

    Gene the PIG,

    What does "that check-fool!!!" mean?
    If it is meant as some type of racist/nationality insult, you are going in the wrong direction and need to edit.

    Yeah, what Crisco said. [​IMG]

    It's called a sense of humor, mi amigo. I could care less about Turkeyshoot, or whatever his name was. We wasted a pick on him. END OF STORY!!!

    Who is playing the race card??? Surely not I. Lighten up!!! [​IMG]

    maybe the Rockets drafted someone who was a hand-checking fool? hmmmm...

    And with the number one pick in the draft, the Rockets select ...

    Khalid Al Amin?

    Hungarian Rocket, rather than judge him by his season averages, go look at his performances game-by-game. He's a pretty impressive player that is only going to get better.
