If anyone heard it, did he talk about the players injuries and/or trades? I tuned in and heard the host saying "....they haven't pulled the trigger on any moves yet, btw" thats all i got.
I wouldn't know, man. I can barely get the SR610 signal here in my building, but the 790 station is nothing but "zzzzzzzzzzzz". On top of that, I need to get a soundcard for my PC at work...
They're now talking about AI. DA and JB should be back in next 2 weeks, Alston should be able to work out anytime, Deke will be back tonight. NO news on trades.
Recap: - mutombo might be back tonight, he was at the shoot around, he's a tough guy - talks about injuries, not making excuses - rafer's might start working out this week - yao, sura will be awhile - da, barry could be back in a couple of weeks - da is still under adjustment period - (on artest) has interest but with the injuries, its not been possible - thinks there will be trades in jan and feb - (best player in the nba) impressed with a lot of players, mentions iverson, kobe, lebron, wade, carter, t-mac, shaq, duncan, garnett - likes how hard AI plays every night - (on trades) hopes injuries stop and can't wait to get everyone out there at the same time
heres what I got so far, not word for word: mutumbo, should be back tonight, hand was spilt, he's a tough guy, we'll see rafers not too far from being back, hell start working out this week he was on the floor earlier working out and looking pretty darn good, jvg will include him in practices and workouts later this week or weekend sura's going to be awhile jon barry and derek are coming on pretty good, could be ready in a couple weeks can't really assess the team so far because not everybodys been out there at one time, we were starting to play pretty well there then yao and mutumbo go out, so its hard to tell on trades: always got interest in people who can help the team but we have a lot of problems making trades right now with everybody hurt we've kind of pursued different trades but it's hard to do becaue everybodys hurt, i think there will be some trades, maybe into january and febuary. carl dukes: cd with all the injuries, do you have some things working or do you think when everybody gets back this is the team... before the season started i thought it was going to be fun year, we're dying to get everybody back, like i said derek and rafer are coming back in 2 weeks, mutumbo will be back tonight... my comments: props to carl dukes for finishing off the interview with that question. CD seemed to dodge it a bit, and just talked about getting everbody back. After listening to the interview, my opinion is that the Rockets have some moves they want to make but must wait until Alston, Barry, and Anderson get back either because one of the mentioned players are part of a deal or they need them to be healthy to fill some holes a possible deal would leave us.
You nailed it. Thats exactly what I have been thinking, some of our injured players are going to need to plug holes once a trade goes down, ie. once Alston comes back maybe the current pg Wesley will be moved.
Excellent recap. Thanks. BTW, JB was on AM610 with Lance and Matt this morning. No breakthough info. Just solid Rockets talk, with a lot of joking sprinkled in (which is good), but with less of Granato's stupidity. Matt was very solid with his questioning but JB had few answers, especially since he hasn't been with the team. The morning show with Matt on instead of Granato was a breath of fresh air for the 30 minutes I listened to it. Would have listened more if I knew earlier Matt would be on.
Yah, great radio as always whenever JB is on. I couldn't help by crack up at Lance doing a JVG impersonation, "Jon, until you can play, you're dead to me!"
