    Man... where do all these crap for brains T-Mac supporters come from... We are 2 seasons removed finally from that nightmare and there are still fanboys galore picketing for him to come back. Why don't you guys go to Orlando Magic forums instead? Didn't he say he wanted to go back there?

    Yes I would take him back.

    Since when is Morris-Budinger-Parsons considered stacked? Maybe if you were in the dleague

    - Morris plays D or at least makes a constant effort to. He is also very tough. I have had enough of Charmin soft wings.
    - Budinger is a scrub, but still good for coming off the bench as a shooter(?) ala Steve Novak
    - Parsons has shown he is very clutch on the college level and is 6-10. At the very least he can be a shooter off the bench and his height can easily vault him over Budinger

    Morris and Parsons are both known as hard workers, something that has never been a point to look forward to with T-Mac.

    He is no longer a star player and therefore he doesn't fill a need on this team.

    I could care less about all the drama surrounding him, that is not important. He can't play on the level we need so why bother.....even if he had always been drama free it still wouldn't make sense.

    Only if he brings Juwan Howard, Tyrone Lue, and Reece Gaines with him.

    I'm surprised that the vote is this close. Some folks have short memories. Been there, done that, no thanks!

    Did you ever see Morris play an NBA game? No.
    Budinger is scrub to you
    Parsons is scrub. Don't even try to say something about potential of a guy from second round in terrible draft that was averagin' lol points per game in a games with guys of his age. It's not Carl Landry or Bud situation, he's not going to be a steal

    No way we have talent there. T-Will has more game and potential then three of those but he's an idiot with terrible attitude an that is the only thing that stopping him right now. He'll mature sometimes. In two, five, ten years. No one knows.

    But please don't even try to tell me that we are stacked at SF with tweener, nice role player and the man that maybe won't play in the NBA for more than 5 years. We are mediocre, but not that bad

    I have never anywhere said we were stacked at SF. The only thing I have discussed are the players we have at the SF position and how I do NOT want T-Mac back within a 10 foot pole of the Rockets.

    - He is tough, hard nosed, and plays D. That catapults him over T-Mac in my book already. Sorry, you can talk all you want, but I am sick of soft players like Bud and T-Mac
    - Budinger is a scrub until he proves to me that last season was a fluke as opposed to his better performance against horrible teams.
    - Have you seen the draft videos of Parsons defending a much more athletic JR Giddens? That is a much better defensive effort than anything I have seen out of Budinger. I am willing to bet you $20 towards the tip jar that within three years, Parsons will be a better role player than Budinger. He already has a much more polished and all-around skill set than Budinger ever did coming out of college.
    - I really hope T-Will can pull his act and brain together. There is simply too much natural talent in him and it would be such a waste otherwise. Unfortunately, he is more of a SG that fancies himself a PG.

    The only scrub worth talking about is the prima donna who played in Detroit last year, the guy is a cancer.

    Was in Houston, was in Orlando, was in Toronto, was in Detroit.

    Glad we cut that guy out.

    Not so cleverly disguised white guys are "designated shooters" until proven otherwise.

    Really, after 2 years body of work the best comparison to Budinger is Steve NOVAK?

    Budinger as a starter easily gives you 15 pts a game (in this system). Parsons is NOT that guy.

    - I have never mentioned anything about race, so get that garbage out of here.
    - Both play no defense, both are soft, and unless Budinger proves next season he moved on officially from his crap season, he is a scrub. I will concede that Budinger is much more athletic than Novak, but both are still garbage on good team.
    - Easy to score 15 points when you are in our system if you are predominately a shooter for a motion offense. How do you know Parsons is not that guy? Are you saying Parsons cannot cut into an open lane? Are you saying that Parsons cannot shoot? If that is the case, you should do some research about our draft pick in Parsons.

    I watched Parsons in Florida. He has no NBA game. His body is not his strength, it's his weakness. He can't play on the next level. He's just not good enough in terms of skill and body. He's classic PF in Euroleague basketball. He'll be playing there for the rest of his career after 3 to 5 years in this league. This pick wasn't a waste, because the only player that could be good enough to play in the NBA from second round was David Lighty (but we already have Martin, Lee and maybe T-Will there). Jordan Williams has a chance. Anyone else are.... Well, if somebody from this second round is going to have a so-so career, we all should be very surprised

    I guess we will have to disagree. I feel like Parsons will do better than Budinger. I am offering a wager of $20 to you in that regard that Parsons will be a better NBA player than Budinger after 3 years. Will you take it?

    I'm not taking your bet because I'm not taking any bets at all in real life. Why should I do it in internet?

    And I should know you don't take bets why? :confused: I simply offered to put my money where my mouth is and was asking if you were willing to do the same. If you don't take bets, that is fine. I can respect that. We will just end this by agreeing to disagree.

    It's not about chicken-chicken-chicken. It's about phylosophy. It's unchangable. If I want to waste some money, I'll better waste it on some flowers for my GF. She will be glad so I am. It's way better then Parsons vs Budinger or some other stuff

    Oh no.. don't get me wrong. I am definitely not calling you chicken or anything. I understand and respect that some people do not bet because their beliefs, ideology, or religion prevents them from wanting to do so. I totally respect that and I won't push it. :)
