    ------------------
    The media's Eddie Griffin NBA Draft player profile before he landed in the Rockets hands:

    What he does: He was second in the nation in blocked shots and fifth in rebounds as a freshman last season; has good shooting range and even had a triple-double.
    Reminds people of: Antawn Jamison
    What he would do for his team: He could play either forward spot and runs the floor. He'll give his team a valuble inside scoring threat.

    The media's review of the Rocket's draft after they got Eddie Griffin:

    I'd give their draft a B. Sure, Griffin was highly touted but his behavior and attitude can be a chemistry wrecker. Needs to bulk up more. Not exactly NBA-ready. Not the best choice for Houston.

    It's very sad. The "wonderfully talented prospect" one second, but the moment the media learns he'll be a Houston Rocket, it's criticize-o-rama.

    One man's putrid garbage is another man's shiny treasure...

    It might work though... if Allan Houston is worth 100 million, maybe Cato is worth 6 million next year to them. [​IMG] Othella may not be as big as Cato, but I'll take a smaller guy playing with some fire at center over a lazy seven footer anyday.

    I would take that trade in a New York minute.

    What a moron. I hope there aren't any Rockets fans out there like that. Othella is a good player, man.

    Mr. President. No man thinks more highly than I of three legged cows. They deserve to live. On my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of reason. Cows with three legs are good. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth : three-legged cows are better. They are better because the meat on them is better. The steaks are more tender. Three-legged cows tend not to wander as much. These cows could be the symbol of our country. The world would look upon us with great respect. They will want our cows and pay good money for them. The cows could symbolize freedom and hard work and three legs are better than four. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other.
