Okay lets say we do that trade, than who do you think will backup our PF spot. We will have two unproven guys playing PF spot, which was the biggest spot for us last year. Take out Juwan Howard and Rockets should consider the trade but we cannot afford to loose J.Howard because Stro can be a star or just another bench player.
So you think the 'team' is going to motivate someone who mailed it in TWICE in contract years...good luck with that.
I hope you are as wrong about SS as your sig was wrong about last season. We shall see if SS steps up his game in Houston, most guys do have breakout years in their contract years and he did have 2 so you have a point. He could never displace Pau in Memphis but he has a chance to start in Houston, we all hope the change of scenery is the catalyst that unlocks all that potential.
Alright, then who's to blame? Sura? I know there's a lot of Sura lovers on this site. I'd wish we could trade Sura and Wesley, for someone like Rose. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I rather put the blame on the whole backcourt, but I guess to make all the Wesley backers here happy... Sura it's your fault we lost to Dallas, you couldn't guard Terry, your too slow and you can't shoot.
Thats the best you can come up with?? So I should take your word for it? Look TMac was in a bad situation. Just like Anderson and Swift were before we got them. Do you think they were bad additions? So your saying Toronto plays championship defense? Rose would fit in fine IMO because like you said the Rockets play championship defense. Defense is demanded by JVG, it wasn't emphasized as much by Sam Mitchel! He is younger, taller and an all around better player than Wesley. Just because you dont like him you cant see that. Jalen has health issues and Wesley is every other guard in the western conferences post up be-uch. You can question his character all you want but the same thing was said about half the players on our team before they came here and JVG got ahold of them. "You either haven't watched a whole lot of Howard or Wesley or you don't have a very good understanding of the game." How do you know? What is your source? Do you know CD personally? Tell us what is your secret? Let me guess, you work for Miss Cleo.
Possum, say something intelligent and then I'll respond to your thread. Jalen Rose is not quicker than Jim Jackson and he's definitely not quicker than Wesley.
If I say something intelligent how are you going to understand it? I never said Rose was quicker than JJ or DW. I said he was a better player. You like playing word games dont you?
Juwan has never shut any one down but he was the only option the Rockets had... That's why we picked up Stromile... It's a system "D" but it helps when everyone on the floor can play "D"... I still don't like J-Rose on our team! It's a catastrophy waiting to happen! I like the depth J. Howard provides from the bench and I like the distance J. Rose is from the Rockets! JVG and CD will pull the trigger one more time and it'll be for another role player! Let's see who it'll be!
