when Barry, DA, and sura are all ready and healthy to play who loses in playing time besides Head? Also could a possible solution to Hayes PT problem be to play Mutombo less and swift at 5 and hayes at 4
a two-for-one trade is needed.. base on the way Alston plays lately.. we have to give him 40 minutes.. Anderson must go!
Alston is a 1, Anderson is a 2-3. Sura will be the person competing for playing time with Alston. Anderson is the only viable backup for T-Mac, and may replace Wesley as a starter.
derek anderson plus our 1st round pick this year (and if its a must our 2nd rnd. also) for lebron james. lollypop kid from wizard of the oz tmac lebron mugsy bogues yao ming bench moochie toucan sam tony the tiger roger rabbit buddah (if probably wont get of the bench much at all)
we are paying anderson chump change at 1.7 mil for this year. that's pretty much minimum wage, so we're getting pretty good bang for the buck. i say we shouldn't worry about PT as long as we're still winning, and yep, we still are.
I don't think Head will necessarily lose playing time...I think he has proven to JVG that he can contribute at this level...If the Rockets really want to make a serious run they need to play whomever has the hot hand and forget about previous rotations!...they can deal with hurt feelings in the offseason! ...............Go Rockets!!!...................
This is a problem that would nice to have for a change. Too many healthy players. But lets just wait for it to happen. My guess is that will change game to game based on the opponent and who needs rest. With the new way that the Inactive list works changes can be made for each game.
Oh dear. I just have to do it. —————————————————————- Your post advocates a (X) trade ( ) FA signing ( ) draft ( ) personnel change ( ) game strategy change in order to solve the Rockets’ problems.

Yeah, it was hillarious.........................but now it's not. The ratio of laughs per bandwith is starting to look like Steve Francis' assist/turnover ratio. May I be the first one to request to turnoff the computer form.
