Heck Freaking No!!! i will not let another Dunleavy ruin a team that i love. You want Dunleavy, well i got some Dunleavy right here...... http://lildundun.blogspot.com/
With that contract you can't be serious. I don't care if we're trading essential deadweights in Sura/Padgett + Synder for him -- it's still a bad deal. Dunleavy is a smart player but he's been such a disappointment it's not even hard to believe you could sign a similar player like Luke Jackson and get similar results. The thought of paying that kid $8-10M a year is just sickening. Let him be somebody else's problem!!
I know this board is going to eat me alive for saying this. To me I think this is a good move for the team. I know everybody on this board loves luther including myself. We all know the rockets need a backup pt. guard. Luther doesn't play the pt well and he's undersized at the 2. I think the rockets should trade Luther Head and Bob Sura for Mike James. This way they get a backup pt guard and Snyder can get into the rotation. Snyder needs to be on the floor getting minutes and getting comfortable for the playoff run. This guy has to much atheletism sitting on the bench. With luther here Jeff is going to stick with his rotation and Snyder will be on the bench.
I wouldn't do that deal even if it was Sura for James. We could get someone who could help us a lot more than James.
I say Raefer Alston would be a good back up. Let's look to acquiring a quality starting pg. Why not see if we can pick up bibby from Sacramento. Seems like he is unwanted there and he would be a perfect fit to our team.
How is Bibby unwanted in Sac-town? he's a friggin starter...plus makes 12 million this year and rises a million more each year
Well Tracy is capable of playing PG, SG, SF, and maybe even PF jon jon and rafer are PGs...I would trade rafer though
I can't believe some people actually though Snyder for Dunbaby was a bad trade. Granted his contract seems bad at least now, and yes he is too soft and D is questionable and inconsistent, but still, his skill set is damn good and he would fit like a glove in JVG's system.
I'd like to give myself some props. I predicted we would NOT go after a backup PG ...but that we'd go after a backup big man. Now that we've got somebody to spell Deke of some minutes, we may NOW go after a PG but I doubt it. We've got great chemistry right now and they don't want to full with it. Afterall, JVG won't even play Snyder because he doesn't want to reduce anybody else's minutes.
Lakers seem to look to dump Smush Parker and Odom to pursue J Kidd (at least from the rumor). What do you guys think about Smush as backup PG?
so what happens if rafer were to get kicked out of game 7 in the 1st round? Who would run the team then? Possibly mcgrady you would say... However, what if rafer got hurt? for a long period of time? this team needs a backup pg in case of an injury to rafer.
If Rafer got hurt we would be in deep trouble more than anyone other than Tmac. He is very underappreciated by Rockets fans and will only be appreciated if he goes down with an injury so we see what we are missing.
We should approach the Knicks about a Sura and Wells for QRich deal in exchange for them buying out Francis. This deal saves them roughly $20 million on salary an luxury tax next year, plus they open up roster spots to develop some young players or sign some vets for league minimum. We get QRich and get to sign Francis for the balance of this season as the backup point.
SO youre basically telling Les Alexander to eat the Luxury tax and not to worry about his share of league money. I know he said he would be willing to surpass the threshold, but I dont think WRich qualifies as a the "high quality" player he was thinking about. JVG or Morey would have to sell this to him and convince him it would work. I dont see him doing it though. Now Would I personally like to see Q and Steve here? HELL YEAH!
Just saying that a backup big man was a higher priority than a backup PG. Now that we've got our backup big, the next priority is a backup PG. Definately don't wait for a SPLASH. Heard an interview w/ CD stating that we've got great chemistry and he doesn't want to fool with it.
