    Thanks for your intelligent response. I really respect your basketball knowledge.

    He's one of the worst players in the league. Go look at any advanced metrics.

    What do you mean by "you people"? I don't have any problem with people calling him a bum of a player, if that's what they think. But I do think that you sound like you are foaming at the mouth.

    Camby should retire. G.Smith is our backup backup center. Close thread/

    So, let it be so judged. Collins is a bum player -- but not the butt of jokes. :)

    yeah I saw his scouting report:

    Always bringing together the unit. . backdoor penetration certainly is his strong suit.. and coming up on the opponents backside for rear entry blockage is well above average. dominates the rainbow offense from the bottom with poise. His ability to hit open jumpers definitely makes him as rare as a 3 dollar bill.

    His stroke can cause players to get a jump on him but his rear attack is built for speed. He does have high motor and when double teamed he can shake like the best of them. His left hand can only be described as sweet and his on court flair is dashing.

    I say sign him. Collins will have a distinct advantage against the homophobes on defense in the post when he puts his hands on them because mentally they will feel molested by a gay man. And imagine all the great posts with gay jokes on the messageboard. Looking forward to it.

    He sucks. No one would ever bring him up if he were not a Gay. Lock thread - not a serious roster idea. Decent troll since there have been so many bites though

    But seriously whilst Collins isn't the best player out there he the type of guy who will gladly watch your back & I heard that he would bend over backwards to make his teammates happy.

    This thread is horrifying.
    Now we all know why LBGT groups exist.

    I agree with CH, based on pure merit alone, he's not worth the roster spot. He'd just be filling an already packed position.

    I went there, does that make me bad?

    Imagine we did sign him & he pulled a Royce White, refusing to play unless the wiener walls were removed from the showers, Handbag hangers installed in the lockers, Morey acknowledged & came out in support of gay marriage, Village People play at every home game & Rockets changed their jersey colours to Red & Yellow & Pink & Green...purple & orange & blue.

    Then he'd start a twitter campaign to have Mardi Gras in Downtown Houston with hashtag #BeGay.

    Now that would be funny!

    Why are you sensitive about this topic? LOL

    man I am dominating you to the extent you will go against party lines? We all know how the republicans feel about the gays. What is your stance on gay marriage? you make me laugh.

    I consider it a bit of compliment when the biggest troll on this site gets all sensitive.

    fwiw a friend Ive known for a long time is gay and you should hear some of the stuff he says.

    Honestly I saw this original thread as a bit of a trolling too since no way we sign collins when we have smith and asik.

    I'm all for joking about someone's race, gender, sexuality. But there is a limit to that. People are hitting that sexuality line for Collins just like they hit the racial line for Lin.

    yeah me too. i'm not an overly sensitive person and i like joking around just as much as anyone but some ppl in this thread are taking it a bit too far. we need to take into acccount how this would make people in the gay community feel. how would parsons feel about this? :mad:
