    Can you say Rocket Killer? Almost every guard that we have delat or let go in the past 5 years has come back to hurt us bad later on. Elie, Dickerson, and Cassell are few to name. I am not saying that I don't want to see Drew dealt because I would not mind if he was dealt if the price were right but Drew's value isn't great. Is anyone currently looking at a trade with us for Drew?

    I think Drew has shown that he actually has some promise as a starter. I thought he did a pretty good job when filling in for Francis. Don't you think some other teams noticed that?

    Bryce Drew did a great job filling in for Steve Francis while he was out. But it was at a limited capacity. I think some teams may have noticed, but not enough to warrant a demand for Bryce. The best way to show Bryce's ability off is at the Rocky Mountain Review this summer. I really dislike the notion of trading off Drew, because having a point guard with a different playing style coming off of the bench would be beneficial against other teams with bad transition defense.

    Great idea. Let's keep dead weight on the team on the off chance that 2,4, or maybe even 6 times a year they single-handedly defeat the Rockets coming off the bench.

    What ever happened to that Rocket-killer Scott Brooks?

    The only good reason to keep Drew is young. The guy will have a place in this league somewhere, but I doubt he'll be a Rocket-killer, unless he knocks down some serious threes, which is possible.

    What happened to Rocket-killer Chris Jent? ;p

    NO! You keep Backstreet Drew to keep the thousands of the young teeny-bopper girls interested in going to the game.

    Whatever happened to Rocket-killer Zan Tabak?

    Yeah, I'm certain there's something unique about Rocket point guards that enables them to be good only after they've left [​IMG].

    If the Drew + Cato +whatever for Odom and whoever (I could care less about Kandi) ever happened, I'd be thinking championship.

    Bryce is going to be dealt if you like it or not. Rudy believes in the guys running in the system and Bryce doesn't fit. Moochie is perfect and I don't know how he ever ended up in the CBA. Rudy will be looking to get a big free agent pick-up this season or trade and he will include Bryce and possibly Kenny but I doubt it. Maybe a draft pick.

    Whatever happened to Rocket-Killers Roderick Rhodes and Sam Mack?
