    I'm not brawling....I did two things:
    1) I pointed out to a new poster that he had 4 posts and three topics started...not a good trend (anybody notice that he doesn't even participate in his own threads?)

    2) I was offended by the use of the word "gay" in a derrogitory manner and let that be known

    and for this I'm attacked. Geez.

    That is the worst trade rumor, I have heard to date!!!!!!

    Maybe Kenny Thomas & Walt Williams to Chicago, Miller and Artest to Lakers, and HORRY AND CHICAGO's 4th pick to HOUSTON.

    That makes more sense. Horry is not even worth Walt Williams, straight up. Williams salary comes off the cap next year, that is very valuable to any team.

    I take that back, why in the HELL would chicago want Kenny Thomas. They have brand and Fizer, and will probably draft another PF this year, knowing Krause.

    First, you tell me to shut up, and then you say I don't post enough in my own threads! Oh well, maybe I will learn the ropes sooner or later here.

    As for the info my buddy gave me, it only makes sense if Chicago already has plans to move either Fizer or Brand. Kenny Thomas can play small forward in a zone, with his quickness and outside shot, and I think he can really help Chicago.

    One thing I might have missed. I was told a good shooting small forward for Houston is involved in the talks, so maybe I was wrong about Williams.

    Would the Rockets be able to sign and trade Bullard for the 4.5 million exemption and still make the trade work? I don't know, but that would make sense to me.

    Your trade scenario is terrible for Chicago, and would never happen.

    I want Horry back, and if it happens, everybody here should be gay.

    "Watching Kenny Thomas in college,I always wondered how he would get his shot off in the pros.I saw the good footwork,but thought he was a tweener.While KT has done some things well,he has done nothing to dispell my earlier notions about him.Thomas might be able to help another team with his attributes,butI don't see it here.He's just taking up space and caproom where a role player,proficient in one specific area or a higher quality all around talent should be IMO.He hustles his butt off,but...."


    Hardwood, I agree fully and completely. I have been saying this for a while, and it really irks me how much of a KT lovefest there is on this board. KT works hard but this team can do a lot better. I would much rather make this deal and draft a player like Troy Murphy or Michael Bradley who are 6-11 glass eaters and fit this teams needs to a T. Get me long, skilled frontcourt players not short tweeners.

    Manel, I like your thinking.

    Francis, Moochie
    Mobley
    Horry, Langhi
    Mo Taylor, Bradley, Bullard
    Woods, Collier

    Add a quality free agent to this group, and I think the Rockets would have a hell of a good future.

    I understand the mistake i guess, but RocketKid is no relation of mine. Funny thing is, i used to use that "expression" when i was younger, until i hung out with some gay friends and realized how stupid, ignorant, and offensive it is.

    Btw, I talked to my buddy, and he says they are targeting Bullard. I am not sure that makes sense to me, but my buddy is usually right.

    Who would you rather get the short end of that trade? Rockets or Chicago? It does not matter because that trade would never go down, the way it is suggested.

    I would rather have Miller and Artest in Houston, then Horry.

    I will also say again, that Horry is not worth Walt Williams straight up. Just think of the free agents that will be available next year, and Walt's salary will be good to have. Horry has to come with some sort of package with Cato.

    Second, if the rockets do trade up, the only value they have to offer (except for multiple draft picks) is Walt Williams and Kenny Thomas. Who else do they have? Nobody!!

    You used the word gay as a perjorative. That's wrong. I don't care if you're a bigot or not. Use that word as a perjorative, and you perpetuate a stereotype. Stop it.


    And you need to understand: being a junior member doesn't mean you're ignorant. However, you need to look at it from OUR perspective too : there are more bad junior member posts than vet posts. In the past, junior members have posted legit information. But more often than not, it's BS. Junior members also have an unfortunate tendency to dreamcast and want unrealistic things.
