I still think Payton has something left. And I think that he would be a nice fit with the team. If Payton starts having a bad attitude cut him. His contract isn't that big, and there's only one year left on it. But, playing with McGrady and Yao and being on a team that can be a darkhorse in the West, I think he would be more then happy to step it up and fit in.
out of 20 people, you and i are the only ones that think Payton has something left. i for one don't think that he all of a sudden forgot how to play basketball or entered that magical "days played in the league barrier" after which only MJ and Stockton can still be good. i still think he wants to win, and could help the rockets. the selfish thing is often overblown. either payton or nvx would help the rockets significantly.
payton is still a good player if he knows his role. he cannot come into the season thinking he is the player of even 2 years ago. he's still smart and he can still see the floor i just don't think hs ego will allow him to be the player he needs to be now that alot of his athleticism has gone. he can be a good fit but he'd need a big time attitude adjustment.
No doubt hes got more skills and talent than any of our 3 points, probalby better than any two of ours put together. He could help the rockets, but the role he played in LA, definately didnt suit him, and I feel he will be in the same role in Houston.
I think Payton would actually be fine. He's got something to prove and we are only a year out from Payton being an all-star. The triangle is death to point guards. I think he still has something left and he might be able to make the Rockets a decent fast break team.
He wants the ball too much and that's his mentality i don't think he will fit in becuase we don't need a point guard that is going to run. That will phase out Yao and that is not what we want. It will just tire Yao cause he will have to run back and forth and i don't think Payton is going to be fine with not shooting the ball as much as he is used to. That is one of the problems he had in LA other than playing time. Yeah he is a good player but not the fit for the Rockets in my opinion.
I met her on Sunday, Twas my lucky bun day, You know what I mean I love her each weekday, Each velvety cheek day You know what I mean My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo, I wanna sink her with my pink torpedo
To me, GP was the very best 1 guard for years. He's still a pretty good player. GP with JVG? Only for entertainment value, ala Kevin and Buddy on the sidelines. If it's a headbutter of a 1 guard why not try to pry JMc from Snow and the Cavs?
The glove don't fit, therefore you must acquit. He's old and tiresome to listen to. Yao would get sick of it and hit him. Because, I believe it's important for Yao's hands to stay healthy - move on Glove.
