*** ***** ******* loved that Barkley msg to the fans bit. That WAS cool. ------------------ "Whooaa." - Ted
Thought this was interesting: "I will not make any attempt to come back next year. If my injury had happened anywhere but Philadelphia, I might think about coming back for next season. But I think the fact that it happened where my career started was a sign from the Big Guy." Question is with the Rockets in full rebuilding mode: Would you want Barkley back next year? [This message has been edited by Clutch (edited March 09, 2000).]
NO. He would not be satisfied riding the bench. He's a warrior, but if he was to come back next year he would be a warrior in a different jersey. Our rebuilding is in full swing aND Barkley would not benefit that process anymore.
Clutch, Barkley never said he would have considered coming back for one more season with the Rockets, just that he'd have considered coming back.
Where is Chucks official website at? ------------------ "Lamar Odom, Elton Brand, Wally Szczerbiak and Shawn Marion are guys who are going out to score. That's not my job on this team right now. But if I needed to, if my coach asked me to go out and score 30, I can get it in one quarter" -- Steve Francis.
