You have managed to push this silliness fore-v-e-r. Discuss? No, disgust. There is zero fit on this Rox team for RR; and, it seems, you are unfit to post - - at least on this silliest of 'Rox' topics. Steve Nash making a comeback makes more sense. Much more, and his body is old, man, old. And old is this RR convo. Get over it.
It should either go there or the NBA forum This is either a trade proposal or about a player not on the Rockets
He did not mean average 12 or 13. He meant he'd like to see James get 12 or 13 in a game. There was some telling comments right before these however. "I don't know. Can he be a playmaker? How much does he need the ball in his hands versus the ball moving?..."
Rubio will be dead for 20 years and we'll still have to deal with people pushing to trade for him. SMH.
So he wants him to pass even more than Magic, Stockton and Nash, who averaged less than 20 ppg for their careers. Why? For Harden to get that many assists he'll probably only averaged 20 ppg.
Everybody should know we need a playmaker. Everybody should know Rubio is available. When we get a playmaker or when Rubio isn't available I'll quit talking about him.
Doesn't make sense, does it? That's why my take on that interview is MDA wants a primary playmaker and when he said "move him over" he wee talking about moving James over off the ball.
Everybody should know that Harden is the primary ball handler on the team. Everybody should know that means that anyone who plays PG here has to be able to play off ball and hit 3's. Everybody should know that Rubio simply can't do that. Everybody should know that makes Rubio a terrible fit in Houston even if he is available. I guess at least we're not talking about Rondo anymore.
Moving him over is even dumber. And listening to that interview, it sounded like MDA wanted to move Harden over to PG...which he was already doing. SMH at our new coach.
holic needs his own RR subforum where he can just repeatedly tell himself that 1) Rubio would be good here and 2) Rockets are pursuing Rubio. No one else needs to venture in this subforum. Just holic and his sources. It'll be a dream come true for him. It'd be similar to what the Charlotte fan forum did for Lin fans, but just for holic.
