Is Brian Skinner that promising or, as I suspect, could we not have put together a comparable offer to obtain EXACTLY what this team needs...a hard-nosed veteran interior presence who can spot up from 17 in if needed? And don't come with the "Oakley's a Cancer" theme because there is little to no evidence of that. ------------------
Oakley's a jackass who punches people that owe him money during shootarounds and he would probably screw up our chemistry. Plus he sucks anyways. He wouldn't deserve any minutes at PF over Taylor, Thomas or Griffin. ------------------ MoTTmoKTCMoCatoMooMooMoochWinkBullGriffDreamWizDanman
And if Jordan didn't think Sir Charles would ever win a championship we should never have traded for him...or become fans...or listened to the constant spew of horse___... ------------------
1) You should never punch anyone. 2) The debt was apparently from illegal gambling, so I would think the claim was not even legally enforcable.
Oakley has lost it man. He lumbers up and down the court more than a heavily knee-padded Dream. The past Oakley, hell yeah. The present oakley, hell no! ------------------
We're not casting for the Sopranos here, man, we're trying to field a basketball team. ------------------ "I guess that's YOUR theory"
Det, you should always pay your Gentleman bets, regardless of amount or condition. And a bunch is rather light compared to what Tony Soprano would dish out. ------------------ "Bada Bing!"
C'mmon, he did wonders for Vince. I promise that if we had gotten him we would've seen a much better Mo, a much better Cato, and a faster improving Griffin. We could've done a Kenny Thomas for Oakley deal. It just wasn't pursued. But rest assured, i'd rather have him backing up Mo, coz he'd do the dirty work that no one else on this team would do, and he'd motivate the team. 18-25 minutes off the bench? I would've taken him with arms wide open. ------------------
Not that bad of an idea...you're thinking! However, he's too old for our team...he should've went to the Lakers (perfect fit)...although I really don't want them gaining anymore talent. ------------------
Charles Oakley is a loser. Screw Oakley, I hope never becomes a Rocket. This is a guy who punches guys who owes him money, cheap shots guys like Barkley, and Hakeem, sucker punch Jeff McGinnis while wearing a ring, purposely trying to injure him, etc., etc. Enjoy hell Oakley! I'm glad you'll never win a championship! ------------------ "Instruments are like women: After a while, you want to make love to another." - Nicolas Godin of the musical duo Air
And don't come with the "Oakley's a Cancer" theme because there is little to no evidence of that. Ok, you want an aging veteran, who is signed to a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract on the Rockets!? I'd rather keep Mo! ------------------ "Instruments are like women: After a while, you want to make love to another." - Nicolas Godin of the musical duo Air
RM, you need to learn how to express yourself and stop beating around the bush so we all know exactly how you feel ------------------
You're right, I held back to much! lol ------------------ "Instruments are like women: After a while, you want to make love to another." - Nicolas Godin of the musical duo Air
Barkley said that Jordan called him after Snottie Quitten said this and told him it was BS. So either Jordan lied to Chuck or Pimpin lied to the media. I leave it to you all to decide which is true. ------------------ What's a Nubian?
Right on bigboyyomomma, we need an enforcer. But the Oakley of now, hobbles, wobbles, and bobbles, and tends to squabble with any player who doesn't like his old beat up cadillac. And we just don't need that. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Rockettebustier (edited July 13, 2001).]
Jordan actually told this to the media. So no, Pippen didn't make it up. ------------------ "I guess that's YOUR theory"
