I think Outlaw has something that alot of Rockets fans see is missing from the team, in the way in which he's a 'skinned knees' dive for the ball kind of guy. I'd imagine, however, that if the Rockets did aquire him, however, his many flaws would become much more apparent.
If someone said, "Let's trade for Bo Outlaw" five years ago, fine. But, what exactly is the point of trading for 31-year-old forward that averages 5 points and 5 rebounds per game?
I cant believe I was in Vegas when this thread came up...oh well, a GOLDEN opportunity goes by the wayside...
Don't forget to "inHale to the Chief" he has like 3 rings himself. If you saw NBA footage from the 70's with the Blazers, 6ers, Knicks and others you gotta now well over Oakley's estimate smoked weed then. Heck, that is probably why the "Blazers" moniker stuck so well. But please Mo, until they get rid of drug testing for bastetball players please lay off the month before the test or hit the golden seal or something.
I would be willing to take a chance on big Z. We know he has bad feet, but when healthy he is very productive in the post. I doubt Cleveland would do it, but it would be worth the try. Another note to try to get big Z is if he has to retire, well get that cap money off the books or something like that. I would do it but i don't thing the Rockets would.
I'd rather our guys smoke pot rather than get a hangover and not play the next day or drink so much they throw midgets out of windows or shoot their limo drivers or get in a car and jeopardize their lives and everyone on the roads.
