    Karla, Stockton and Horny.

    Don't kill me, but honestly, I don't foresee Webber to turn out better than Karla. Having him doesn't guarantee a WCF appearance, with Duncan and Shaq on the way.

    I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

    Cuttino, if you want to compare him to Horney, is an offensive player not just a shooter. Cuttino actually has athletisism.

    Stockton and Francis? Since when does Stockton take anyone one-on-one? When was the last time Stockton added some flash to his game?

    Other than the fact that they all play the same position and have all been relatively good during their careers does not make them similar. Might as well throw in Hawkins/Payton/Kemp.

    Hawkins/Payton/Kemp also didn't win a championship.

    He's not saying (I don't think) that their games are the same; only that our 3 (if we got Webber) have the same skill level in the 3 positions as Utah's 3. I'd agree, but that's still a little too simple to really extrapolate anything from.

    But how can you say the same skill level when they play differently?

    They remind me of Isiah, Dumars, and Laimbeer.

    FFan, I think he just meant in overall production/end results.

    Also the fact that Steve is a PG, Cuttino is a SG, Webb is a PF

    Stockton is a PG, Hornacek was a SG, Malone is a PF.

    JuanValdez and VJ:

    Yeah. That is what I mean.

    And I find it sad/scary, despite my dislike for Karla, a trio as good as Utah's couldn't win a ring. I just hope that if Webber comes here, the Rockets trio don't end up the same fate.

    Did Karla ever have a Hakeem in the middle?
    or 3 draft picks and a possible other FA signing to put into the SF spot?


    i think we can do better...
