Since everyone is speculating about summer trades, signings, and the draft - who will work best in a Rocket's uni, etc. I think that the Rockets should go after Eric Meeks. Why do so many people want the Rockets to get a 4? Sure, any help will do, but we have had so many 4's. Ever since the Rockets traded away Thorpe, there has been a craving for more 4's. Yes, even when Chuck was playing, people screamed, "More power forwards!" (I just realized how many times I had used "4" - so there, I changed it). We have too many. That is the problem. Quantity, not quality. I think instead of all of this power forward talk, we should go after a tall, fast, athletic small forward. Then we can rotate our power guys (cato, kenny, hakeem, carlos, pig, bullard-a joke, massenburg-another joke). Together they should provide enough rebounding, scoring, blocks, etc...
That is fine, nobody has to respond to my well-thought-out post. I have died in the forest and nobody cares...
give us some information about meeks if you want us to look into it.... I personally, only know the name.. I don't even know what school he went to, what his numbers are.. etc..
too many syylabi in ur 1st word rimman! nobody wants to read Terrestrial, much less click on it. Anyways, I don kno much bout meeks. But i want a sf too. IF there is a real good quality big man though, itd be foolish not to go for it. But lets go for a good 3 instead of gambling on another Venson Hamilton or whatever. Please. ------------------ "Whooaa." - Ted
Pole: Thank you for your caring Elie: Meeks was a slow, crappy white guy that the Rockets drafted a few years back (I think out of Duke or some other big school with blue uni's). He was called a "banger" and would provide the Rockets with inside muscle. They shipped him off to Europe to develop - he probably averages about 0.3 ppg. I have inserted his name into about 4 posts recently and nobody has noticed, so I thought I would start my own thread with him in it to illustrate the obsession with drafting 4's (breathe). Crisco: I see your point about terrestrial. I am glad you agree with me about a 3, I am just having a problem who they should really gun for...
