Rafer will get a ring with Orlando, mark my words!

lets see here just off the top of my head the rockets have traded the following players in the last 5-6 years

mo taylor
jimmy jackson
boki nachbar
steve francis (twice!)
mike james (twice!)
bonzi wells
tyronne lue
reece gaines
juwan howard
cuttino mobley
derek anderson
kelvin cato
clarence weatherspoon
steve novak
stromile swift
donte greene (a stretch yes)
bobby jackson
moochie norris
scott padgett
eric piakowski
adrian griffin
kenny thomas


care to tell me which of these players went to go and win championships?

the only players i can think of are:
robert horry who won rings after he was traded from the suns (the team he was traded to from the rockets)
sam cassell --who just won LAST year
james posey who left the rockets as a free agent.

edit: and moses malone but that was over 25 years ago....



yeah so you're, you are, your ---however you want to spell it are r****ded


MORAN!

 

guy 1: your r****ded

guy 2: actually, it's the contraction "you and are", so it's "you're" not "your"

guy 1: wow... your r****ded

 

I don't think Houston can make playoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Orlando is a scrub of a team that just happens to play in the east which bloats their record... they are nothing special

 

Oh, so dark powers are somehow involved, why didn't you say so to begin with? It all makes sense, Rafer was trader to the Magic no if everyone who believes in fairies will clap their hands he'll transform into a superb player.

 

The only ring Rafer will get is the one he buy's from a pawn shop.

 

I wonder how many posters around here actually finished elementary school English.

 

considering you posted this in the GARM of all places dingus what houston team do you think I would be thinking of?

besides not all of us are from houston and follow the other houston teams. there is a whole different forum to talk about the other houston teams

 

Yah ok...

 

Magic weren't even contenders with Jameer Nelson, what makes you think Alston can lead them there?

Alston is a great PG and I'm an Alston supporter, but there is no way Alston is better than Nelson, nor will he lead the Magic to the Finals. Orlando relies too much on 3 point shooting to get anywhere.

They are just the Eastern Conference version of the Phoenix Suns. They never got anywhere, the Suns had one chance to get there and that was in 2007 when they had a healthy Amare Stoudemire and a Kurt Thomas on there team. Unless you wanna compare Battie to Thomas, Magic have no chance at the Finals with or without Nelson. Mark my words.

 

and they will sweep the Spurs.....(it's fun to pretend)

 

The only sweep that will ever occur between a Texas team and the Orlando Magic happened in 1995.



And don't you forget it.

 

I think rafer will lead the Magic to the 2nd round at least.
but I don't believe they can win the final without nelson.

 

That better not be the Al Capone I think it is........the West Virginia dude....

 

I think he is right on one player that got traded and won a ring. Brad Lidge lol

 

Why are there so many threads about the demise of the rockets as we know them???

they traded RAFER ALSTON for Christ's sake. Not even one of the 5 best players on the team. They didnt trade tmac, not Yao, not Scola, not Artest....but RAFER ****ING ALSTON, the most inconsistent player in the entire NBA. What exactly has he done for this team in his tenure here that makes you think this team will fall apart without him?

 

Rafer Alston won;t lead the Magic to anything

Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, and Hedo will lead them there

 

Hahahaha.
