    Exactly, he was part of that list. Remember he was on the team that played the Spurs when he accidently hurt Derek Anderson and separated his shoulder.

    You can always start a thread about his great contributions to the great Rockets of the past. ;)

    Oh Juwan .
    I completely objected on the Juwan trade to the Rockets cause I know he brings a Freddy Krueger like curse. At the beginning he was horrendous, thinking he was still an "ALL STAR" and the 100million dollar man (yes he got that much $$). I was right.
    Then in the past season, he learned his role on the team and played well. Knowing that he shouldn't take away shots from TMAC and YAO but just to hit the open ones.
    But I was right about the curse. Once Juwan leaves a team, the team gets some freaking awesome players.
    Juwan leaves Washington - The Wiz get Jordan to unretire (no playoffs but they get Jordan!)
    Juwan leaves Dallas - they go to the WCF the next year
    Juwan leaves Orlando-Orlando gets Dwight Howard
    Juwan leaves Denver - Denver gets Carmelo
    Juwan leaves the Rockets - Mike James, Scola, Steve Francis, Aaron Brooks

    Howard might wanna consider moving to the OKC with the supersonics...
    I'm sorry for posting about a different subject but as a 'rookie" I can't post new threads....
    The Seattle Post Intelligencer http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-27-49/Steamed-in-Seattle.html
    reports that Mclendon and the rest of the Oklahoma based ownership group is unsurprisingly seeking to move the team to OKC but they said today they never planed on keeping the team in seattle....kinda sad...
    hope someone else creates a new thread for this.

    You can add to that.. when Juwan joins a team they lose good players

    Juwan goes to Washington... Lose Rex Chapman and Webber (injury) 1st option
    Juwan goes to Denver... Everyone (traded) 1st option
    Juwan goes to Orlando... Grant Hill (injury)
    Juwan goes to Houston... (Yao and Tmac... injury all but this past year) 1st option
    Juwan goes to Minnesota... and they trade Kevin Garnett

    Of course part of the guy's problem is that he ends up being the first option on talent deficient teams. Of course this time the talent is there.... but they are all prepubescent (slight exaggeration ;)) I think Juwan's role here last year is the type he needs... but where is he going to find it with his huge freaking contract??

    As long as JVG is NOT coming back with him, I am OK with Juwan (as least he can be a good teammate cheering on the bench).

    Weird, because he was never actually going to be on the floor at the same time as KG! But I would want him as a teammate as well

    Juwan can be traded to the D-League just as long as it is not back with the Rockets.

    Poor guy, he can never get a break and be on a championship calibur team. He just keeps bouncing around the league.

    Looks like he's gonna get his wish granted. Any guesses on who those 3 teams are?
