    Hate to say it, but I wished we had him back after tonight. Shotblocker that can shoot the 3 ball. I'm sure he's got real strong hands too. :)

    im surprised why the wolves coach rarely gives griffin any playing time. ive had him on my fantasy team and when he plays atleast 30 minutes he will get atleast 12 rebounds and 3 blocks...

    LOL - I did not want EG to be let go "FOR NOTHING" I figured at least keep his rights and get a 2nd round pick off of someone. I agreed with kicking him off the team, just didn't agree with the Rockets waiving him outright when they still had to pay him.

    Boki was traded for Wesley - and ironically Boki is playing fairly well in New Jersey.

    I hope you are wrong about Novak and V-Span.

    But I think you are right about JVG.

    :D

    Typical rewriting history, you were just in classic DaDa kneejerk second guess mode when Griffin left, so you made a bunch of stupid statements, that eventually looked foolish:

    Here's DaDa explaining how he would save the 2004 season:

    Here's a whole thread replete with numerous instances of DaDakota practically in tears because the mean old Rockets won't sign Eddie Griffin..

    You were in love with hindsight...until it turned against you.

    Eddie Griffin certainly did not pan out, but you are the one rewriting some serious history here by saying I was "Crying" to get him back. I posted that it would be worth a shot at the league minimum.

    That is hardly taking a big risk now is it?

    I freely admit that I am dissappointed by EG, and think he squandered a load of talent, and I still feel if the Rockets would have hired a mentor to help with this transition it might have made a difference. I think the Rockets messed up by not protecting their investment a bit better.

    He is still in the NBA, so I guess he still could develop, but truthfully, he seems like a lazy player that is satisfied with where he is....

    I am glad he is not on the Rockets.
