    Vancouver is wasting him.
    He isn't producing in the rahim only zone.

    He only gets about 5 shots a game. Isn't getting the rebounds for some reason.

    no we did not do him wrong. We gave him the opportunity that he deserved. He knew when he signed the contract that he could be traded.

    Vancouver is not wasting OT. He has just been struggling the last couple of games, other then that before those games he was getting 20+ points and 10+ rebounds, he will bounce back.

    You make a great point. I think we did treat him wrong. I actually made the point in one of the threads that part of the reason the Rockets kept Dream was to show loyalty, to hopefully attract other stars in the future.
    I think you just blew my theory!

    When he resigned with us. . . . he could have left and got more money . .. more minutes etc . . . but he stayed for LOYALTY
    [some of that stuff that kept Hakeem here]

    Then we unceremoniously traded him.
