(C. Landry) In a perfect world would be a Rocket

No way he is worth $7M! I loved him as much as the next guy but pay him $7M why? because he can dunk? Scola puts up way better #'s. Landry is a MLE type player in my eyes. not capable of 20/10 any given night. A career night for Landry is another night at the office for Scola.

 

this.

 

Here's a link, at around 4:13 he starts talking about him becoming a free agent and the Rockets:

Personally, I thought he was saying a lot of PC/PR type of stuff. Wasn't really that convincing when talking about the possibility of rejoining the ockets.

 

I like Landry, but I do not regret trading him, considering what we got back. I really don't think this team would be better off with him than Kevin Martin, who we received in that trade. Landry and Scola are similar type of players - good offense with mediocre (at best) defense and rebounding. Hayes off the bench is a much better complement to Scola than Landry would be.

 

He's a system player.

He fits here perfectly.

 

This is a good point. I like Carl Landry a lot, but isn't this out of line a bit?

 

Landry . . like Artest . . brings and INTANGIBLE
that no other rockets seem to bring . . .
TOUGHNESS

Hate Artest all you want .. the team seemed TOUGHER
and more confident with him around . .

In recent years .. primarily the TMAC years
Missing more than talent. . . WAS HEART!!

Rocket River

 

Honestly. . . I think Landy + Lee >> Martin

I think Courtney Lee will end up a better overall player than Martin
[maybe not a better scorer]

He is in his third year, how long are you going to give him to reach this magical ceiling?

 

You only bring Landry back if another deal materializes that brings in a Tyson Chandler-esque type of defensive player.

 

Completely agree.

Landry would be our go to 4th quarter scorer and Lee is a better defender than Martin.

 

STOP LIVING IN THE PAST!!

Landry is not the same player!! I watch all the Kings games I can on League pass and Landry is not the same player. His defenders are wise to his fce up game and force him to shoot. He misses and it's over.

 

**** is pathetic

 

In a perfect world, my schwartz would be two inches longer and be able to rebound (more quickly).

 

Don't worry guys, according to the many worlds theory, in a parallell universe Mandry is still a Rocket. Yeah, and in yet another universe the Rockets are contenders this year and all of us are happy as hell.

 

Sign me up. :grin:

 

I'd be open to bringing Landry back, but we'd have to dump Scola somewhere. I liked having both of them here when we had Yao to clog the middle, but a Scolandry combo these days is defensive suicide. Landry's play this year has been a little disconcerting though.

Landry would cost a whole lot less...but I'm maybe banking a little too much on Patterson. I like him enough to gamble. Besides, maybe we could get something decent for Scola.

 

wouldn't help this current team much.

In hindsight, that was a great trade.

 

We've had a losing record ever since making that deal. Wouldn't hindsight say it wasn't a good deal?

 

I think we found Mazyar's second account.
