    To me, Payton is an MVP type player, but saying that I'd rather have Cat Shandon and Stevie. I like that combo.

    David Aldridge must be getting his info from Clutch City because this is a load of "puppy poo".

    The Rockets wouldn't even entertain trading their backcourt for Payton.

    Rockeem , You either joking and want to see peoples reaction (instigator) or you just don't watch rox basketball very much do you ?


    Payton for Francis/Cat ????
    Seattle.. hell yeah they do it !!
    Houston.. Hell NO we don't !!! (and if they do might as well move to another city next season !!!)

    ------------------
    It's all about marketing !

    Payton is an AWFUL team player, he destroys players confidence. I would HATE to ever have him as a Rocket, he is a loser and always will be one.

    2 young players
    -a great back up center,or potienally good starter maybe could avg. dbl- dbl

    -a top 3 point in the league now maybe #1 in 1to3 years, all around player


    FOR

    -BEST POINT GUARD TN THE LEAGUE but will see his numbers start to drop in the next couple of years.


    by the way the rockets are trying to rebuild a contender in the future,if you heard any thing rudy said this year theres no way we will trade steve so i dont know how serios your trade rumar is!

    Let me see if I can turn Rockeem's rather embarassing post to a more interesting one: Excluding salaries, would you have traded say Francis + Anderson + McLain + Maloney (trying to get the collective salaries up) + future #1 for Payton BEFORE THE PIPPEN TRADE.

    Think about it, we didn't know Hakeem was that run down nor did we know Barkley and Tmass would break down. We also got our dream FA in Shandon during the offseason. Things very looking Rosy, we looked prime for a final run of Hakeem's and first for Chuck. Our line up would have been:

    C Hakeem, Pig
    PF Chuck, Tmass
    SF Pip, Bullard
    SG Mobley, Drew
    PG Payton, Drew

    On paper that team would have looked like a winner.


    ------------------
    "The Rockets were ahead of the Suns by 20 late in game 2 of the series, but when the going got tough, we just Pippened . We would not be done in the series though."

    That was almost as good as TheFreak, but you didn't incite any violence. Well, not yet anyway.

    I propose a "waste of time" icon for Clutch or the forum moderator to paste next to any thread with as many posts and as little merit as this one. Three Z's in a row might be one way to do it. And I'm happy to help apply that icon.

    The rox would never trade Franchise, cuz that would be trading the whole team. Mobley is also pretty good. Seattle also would not do that trade, it would hurt seattle fans.
