I like him but I'm not in love with him at the number one slot. Chemistry is very important and if he's not in Houston during the off season in Fonde honing his game, we cannot ensure his development. Year 1 1. He will arrive late to the Rockets camp, as a result, no relationship with Steve and Cat who control the Rock. 2. Will not be in NBA shape, we already have MoFat, Fato, and A Lot of Rice. 3. Will get killed by Dallas, San Antonio, Portland, and Sacramento's pick and roll uphigh offense. Remember we still have no D steve and Cat. I didn't mention the Diesel, because we know what's going to happen. 4. We win less than 45 games = No playoff 5. Chinese government want's him to play against Baby Gap in the Chinese league, so he's out of here. Year 2 1. Arrive late again to Rockets camp and we're cursing because we got hosed 2. No bulk added, because he's too tired from NBA and Chinese basketball 3. We miss the playoffs again 4. He get's killed again by the teams above. Forget the O, we need D Year 3 1. His contract is up and we push for the 4th year option. Chinese government balks because they want him in New York. 2. We miss the playoffs again.
I will personally be disappointed if the Rockets do not make the playoffs next year. I am expecting Eddie Grifiin to have a breakout year. He has experienced the level of NBA play for one year and now knows what he has to work on this summer to become a starter.
LOL. when i read the thread title, i said to myself, "WTF is this guy smoking? Didn't we just make the playoffs?" then i read the date this thread was started and the next thing on my mind was, "Ok, let's see what idiot decided to bump this thread."
