    What if the team got taken hostage? Would the Rockets just have to forfeit every game?

    Les Alexander isn't gonna just give up on that Jewish basketball fan market. Besides, once we trade Parsons, either Casspi or DMo will have to fill that handsome white or Euro guy void.

    Train with Casspi? To do what? Master the art of bench warming?

    Would be awkward when Casspi, Cisco, and Parson got traded during the off seaon.

    Israel will use Beverley's regenerative DNA to create a super soldier

    At least Harden and Howard get a break from competitive basketball before they suit up for USA in the world's tourney in Spain.

    Yeah, it would be awkward if Casspi is cut from the team. Maybe he wants his country to meet his teammates before he possibly gets cut.

    They should go and get another perspective of the world.

    Next stop: Lithuania

    what? Many Orthodox Jews sport beards. Harden would feel right at home

    Hooray more slumber parties for the boys that will end in parsons spooning Lin and the rest of the guys throwing back a few with McHale, having a ball, the time of their lives really. Won't be long before harden and Howard fly back as the women there have derrieres too modest for their liking. Bit the rest of the guys just wanna have some fun with pillows and pajamas. Good for them, as a fan who gives plenty of $$$ to the city and organization I cldnt be happier. Make it happen Morey, give the winner of the shwarma eating contest an iPad

    No way. How about Harden and Dwight spend the entire summer with Hakeem along side other team mates getting better too. I dont care where they go, as long as Hakeem is there to mentor and teach them.

    Lebron's game completely changed and drastically improved after that summer he spent with Hakeem.

    Nope, Dwight said friendship outlasts basketball. They will go whether or not Casspi remains a teammate.

    Asik for obvious reasons will not go, but it'll be great if he would. Lin may already have commitments.

    I thought it funny that Casspi's best friend is Cisco. So much time bonding on the bench

    shame on all of you NEGATIVE NANCY's. :mad:


    i applaud casspi's effort and his teammates interest in getting to know each other off the court. even if casspi isn't back next year and this never happens.

    this team needs time to grow together both on and off the court. theres more to team sports than star players. real rockets fans should know that better than anyone.

    Pretty sure the whole team is welcome. Asik just doesn't want to be here if he won't start and he won't think its worthwhile since all he would do is rebound and set screens instead of really being involved in offensive set plays that the guys would be practicing.
