Is there any team that has a brighter future than the Rockets

He coached the Kings before Adelman got there...1996-1997 and 1997-1998

 

Sacramento for a while there in the 90s

 

Sorry if I came off arrogant, I was being sarcastic. I guess you couldn't tell the difference. I wasn't trying to cop-out. I was wrong to say many, but the point was why was Eddie being pursued heavily by Denver if he has nothing to do with the Nets success? If Byron Scott is such a good coach then explain to me some of his genius decisions like playing Shaq one-on-one for the first 2 games? Or taking out Jason Kidd EVER...

 

"The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades...". Hell yeah, the future is bright for the Rocks. With one caveat, the health of our players. Surely we're due for some luck in that department. So many went down last season, or played hurt (Cat, for example, was playing through some bad ankles much of the time). MoT didn't play at all, and Rice shouldn't have. Cato showed up so out of shape, it was an injury to the team. When Steve played, much too often, he probably shouldn't have as well. Etc., etc. (sigh).

I realize the vast majority of you folks know all this, but I thought it might be useful info for some of our new friends that have come to the BBS since Yao fell into our laps. Our record last season was an anomaly.

 

Truce then...no offense taken...as far as Scott goes...I dont think he is some genius that makes the Nets tick, but the players, especially Kidd, love him. He and Scott have a mutual respect for one another and are very close...in fact, Byron Scott lives in my town...and Kidd looked at several houses here as well just to be close to Scott. (Kidd eventually settled on a nicer town).

Its clearly Kidd's team but they respect Scott's accomplishments (even though he wasn;t the star of those Laker teams) and in turn, respect him. As for the one on one vs Shaq goes, your guess is as good as mine. Its not like any other teams had an answer for him or did anything to stop him either so who knows. The only explanation for sitting Kidd for the amount of time he did was that Kidd was tired... I really don;t know.

 

I'm not either. And I haven't heard one word about him going to a big-man camp this summer.

 

if he was unmotivated before we had Ming...i cant imagine him being motivated now, knowing his future is Ming's backup

 

I just gotta chime in on the Nets "argument" ...

If Kidd leaves, it's only to be with Duncan or mebbe Orlando methinks. Chances are greater that he stays, but the chance that he leaves is far from slight. I think teams will go after him harder than Webber was sought for. But I don't really think they have a bright future even with Kidd. A solid team, but not a bright future.

neway, "bright future" teams:

Chicago

Indianna

Memphis

Denver is in the making. Not next year, but add in another lotto pick to Nene and Tsika, + some cap space, and they could end up being a dangerous team.

Clipps, if they pay out $$$

Houston

all have question marks, but they all appear to have brighter futures than their records suggest.

 

Not really a maverick troll (just a coincidence on the username, didn't even think of it, when I registered), but maybe am a troll, so if you insist

You guys are CRAZY! Nowitzki is practicallythe SAME AGE as Francis and 5,000 times better. Finley is a bigger better, more mature, Mobley. Dallas has an actual BENCH! You guys would have killed to get Lafrentz! Steve Nash is a Better pure PG than Francis, and he actually PLAYS without getting a headache! Blah Blah Blah ! ! Wang ZIZI dominated MIng and HE SUCKS! Wooo! Hooooooooo! Next World Champs Dallas 1 Woo Hoo Hoo How bout dem Cowboys Mark Cuban Rocks!!!!

 

Its definitely exciting to be a Rockets fan. The Rockets roster is stocked with talent and potential. The future is bright.

We also have one of the greatest owners. He puts a good effort into making this team better each year nad he lets the coaches coach.
