    How much shape does one need to be to park at the 3 pt arc and heave 3's?

    No one is asking him to be the Reggie of old, as in running thru an infinite number of screens, for 30 mins a game.

    And I do not care if Pippen can still play, he will always be Satan.

    This line of thinking is the epitome of desperation. Why not simply accept the Rockets for who and what they are and leave it at that. There are no magic bullets nor NBA miracles out there to be had at this point in the season and that includes bringing back a guy (SFIII) that most here could not wait for the door to hit him where the good Lord split him on his way out of town.

    If the goal was to add a washed up former superstar to bolster our roster then we should have tried to make a play for Gary Payton. He may look like a shell of the player he used to be but he can still defend anybody at the 1/2/3 positions as well as the best of them even at 38-years-old.

    Obviously a dead point though....

    Take Clyde on right before the playoffs... he'll be fit after his "Dancing With The Stars" gig.

    Wait... You got me thinking...
    You think that we could get Len Bias? I mean, man, I bet he'd JUMP at the chance to play again.

    ...I'm sorry, that was tasteless.

    Oy. I'm tripling. Oh bother, I thought of a horrible, tasteless pun that may well make me a pariah on clutchfans forever and proves that I'm just generally a terrible person. But it's so good that it's WORTH it.

    I'm holding out for Dick Bavetta.

    Miller is just the sort of defensive specialist JVG craves.

    Not a bad idea. Hopefully getting Bavetta would eliminate some of the ticky-tacks on Chuck Hayes.

    Seriously, from the moment Hayes checks into the game, everytime I hear that whistle blown my immediate reaction is to find #44 and look at the disgusted/frustrated look he has on his face.

    Does anyone call for Steve Kerr? Imagine he's playing alongside with Yao. He's better to make nice quick or Yao will.... As to Rggiw, I think he fits in Mavs more..another great flopper of the game.

    Unlike Pippen, I think Reggie may actually have a little game left. Especially for a team like the Rockets where the things he already did well would probably look even better. His defense would be a bit of a problem, though...

    We don't need no stinkin' ex-superstar.

    Bring back Matt Bullard and Jon Barry to rain 3s from the outside and we'll be set.
