After 4 years, a relatively healthy SS will be an intregal part of the Rockets. Sam Bowie after 4 years wasn't able to play pro ball anymore. While I like the info, you'll pardon me if I hold my elation until Saturday.
You forgot to include the last part, the funniest part! The whole quote is: Dammit! There were people saying he'd go for $10 million per season. Houston got him for just the MLE!? Now Yao has a swatter next to him. Grr
The same one as Jermaine O'Neal and other players, they came into the league at a young age and people were impatient to let them develop and couldn't wait to slap on the "underachieving" label even though they're 25 years old.
Yao, Stro and T-Mac! We have our front court for the rest of the Decade! Head and James are both still very young as well. This is a great young nucleus to a team. I can't wait till October now!
I think one of the great things is that we got him via free agency and not any kind of sign and trade. Van Gundy talked about breaking up the chemistry to get more talent, but so far we've done it without a trade. That is amazing. We kept all the guys who aren't free agents from last year's team and still got Swift. Trades will undoubtedly have to come, but now they may not have to be as major as was previously thought. I liked the people on our team last year, so I'm happy about that. We've improved at the 4 which was one of our main goals. PG is still kind of up in the air, but I thought we were competent last year with the group we had.
SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!! man i had the worst day at work, boss would not slack off at all, the cute girls in the other departments werent working--any of them-- today, spent 2 hours driving home i am beat and all that is changed by a simple visit to cf.net WAY TO GO CD!! wow what a deal considering how everyone else is being overpaid. an added bonus is that we wont have to see swift totally posterize yao again, at least for the next 5-6 years
This is GREAT! Swift will shine on this Rockets team with T-Mac and Yao! Rockets to win 60+ next season!
