Increased playing time? Battier was already playing 35 mpg.
The Raptors who had the number one pick thought highly of him, it was only going to be Bargnani or him. Jerry West thought highly of him, Gay was...
Gay doesn't need "development" to be what Battier is NOW. At the very minimum he will come in as a rookie and be Battier's equal.
But Jerry West who is an infinitely better talent evaluator than all but one (Collangelo is in his league and heonly considered 2 people for the...
CD and JVG, their prints are all over this. Let's just give Morey some time to prove he's this stupid before we start blaming him.
good post, but one problem. If we get back to 50 wins it won't have anything to do with Battier, it will be because Mac and Yao are healthy.
But if we get better next year it won't have anything to do with this trade. The Rockets will automatically be a better team if T-Mac and Yao are...
This trade no effect on our cap flexibility, even if this horrible trade wasn't made we still wouldn't have been able to sign him.
Exactly all these "from the get go" Morey haters want to put this crap on him now. This isn't a moneyball move. Everything points to CD and JVG,...
WTF? WTF? WE need more character? Oh hell no. We need more character like we need a hole in the head. Talent is what we need, this team has...
Why put this move on Morey? Most of you never liked his hire in the first place, so you are quick to blame him. This REEKS of CD and JVG, it's...
I don't blame them for anything. Everything that happened to the Rockets on draft night was a result of their own stupidity. I don't want to hear...
yeah like I care about what this idiot has to say. I hate that baseball homer anyway. and like I said in the official trade thread when this...
Does Battier live in Memphis in the off-season?
I'm only double posting because the edit link is gone. Everything Rudy Gay was criticized for had to do with him not being a true #1 option,...
but Jerry West who is an infinitely better talent evaluator that anyone on the Rockets and those 7 teams thought he was worth it. Why should I...
so this a$$clown will want to take credit for T-Mac and Yao being healthy?
NO. Subtracting Swift's salary doesn't put us under the cap so we're still dealing with the MLE.
battier isn't going to help us win next year. he will be a nonfactor in terms of wins and losses just like he's a nonfactor in memphis. if he's...
wow, you're either giving Foye too much credit or dissing Francis. I don't know which one. Steve Francis with more consistency would be a GREAT...
