I know this season was below par by most peoples standards but we've got a lot to look forward to. 1. New digs next season 2. Yao's sophomore season 3. Off-season moves 4. Rudy's health watch 5. Cato's building on his best pro season 6. Power dancer auditions 7. The lottery (even though we can't keep the pick) 8. Power rankings 9. Next year's uniforms 10. The new "fan on the street" halftime segment anyone else?
16. The nasty, CourtTV televised divorce proceedings between the once inseparable Stevie and Mobes. Who gets the house, the cars, the clothes, the kids.....
Just to clear things up. We CAN have a lottery pick this year. Why am I the only one to point this out? The pick given to the griz ,has to be within 7 of our own. Lets say we win lebron or #3(carmelo) we can just trade mobley to the team with the #8 pick and give that to the griz and KEEP lebron.With salary in exchange to match trade of cats salary. This could be the biggest blunder on nba lottery ever. I can see it now. Bob costas says "OMG rockets win it again!!!,but the pick goes to memphis" Then all the memphis fans cheer and go crazy,only to find out the next day about the provisions ,and that the rockets can still keep lebron. Heck,at this point I would trade francis for the #6(given to griz) if I could keep lebron.
robbieg, you may be correct, the more i read about the parlay provisions of the pick, the more I get confused.... That being said, I belive the pick we convey to the Grizz has to be within three picks of our own, not seven, as you suggested. Which brings us to: 20.) The pick (this year's) will finally be gone and everyone can stop b!tching about it.
TRADE FRANCIS FOR LEBRON? hahahah that is totally outrageous. You trade a 4 year 2 time all star for a never stepped on a NBA court Rookie who has yet to show anything in the mans league???? Please
How could Les be so cruel to the Rox Fans to put that one over on them? Destruction of the Rockets in two years!
