    Is there a way we could ship him out of houston? I hate his contract. Can we trade him for a player or evena draft pick?

    We would only be able to get a player with an equally crappy contract. We might as well do it, since Moochie is the worst backup PG in the NBA.

    The only way we can get rid of Moochie is to waive him. But he would keep the money...so they aren't going to do that. Nobody wants Moochie Norris. He is crap. No one wants him. The only way he can be traded is if he is packaged with other players...

    Moochie. We have to get rid of him.

    Rafer Alston is even better than him.

    lisa kudrow: "holy crap!"

    i actually agree with yetti. : : omega sees a pig flying into the cold depths of hell : :

    yeah... mooch needs to go. his hair and knee-highs were funny the first couple of games, but they quickly grew old.

    something else that's growing old... the turnovers at the end of quarters that result in 4 to 5 point turn-arounds. they're streak busters and do nothing but screw around with the team's confidence.

    well... he IS funny, but multi-million dollar funny.

    Yep, the only way we can ditch Moochie and gain ground is if we package him with other players. For example: Mooch and EG for Zach Randolph, Jeff McInnis, and Charles Smith.

    Of course, we could always just trade him for an equally crappy player with a shorter contract, like Mooch for Chris Crawford (Atlanta still kinda needs a PG).

    Randolph is light years better than EG. THe only thing EG has on Randolph, is that EG has punched out TWO teammates, while Randolph has only punched out one.

    McInnis isn't great, but much better than the little dribbler.

    Why don't we ask them to toss in 50 million dollars in cash, and some of the natural forests in Oregon?

    Francis has made it clear that he does not want Les to break up the team so If you get rid of Moochie you better prepared to trade Francis.

    I've said it. Bad managment of contracts will prevent (at least limit) us from improving the team for the forseeable future. Bad long-term contracts are just impossible to get rid unless you just receive other bad contracts (which cannot improve our team anyway).

    Is this Houston's team or Francis' clique?

    Francis will never be a winner muchless a leader of winners if he keeps up his childish attitude. Either do what is best for the team or leave!

    Well uhh.........Kenny Thomas left. Did he demand to get traded then? I don't think he said anything about the trade. That broke up our team. ?

    Tierre Brown was waived. Did he complain?

    Well anyways. Yes. It's pretty childish. He's our franchise player, but he's not the owner or anything. He really needs to stop talking...and just improve his game and play better.

    If you get rid of Mooch, I gotta change my name.

    DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT?!?!?!?!?

    It makes me and Moochie (and Keith Jones) sad:(.
