Idiotic example. Considering that the alternatives were. Other guy discussed when Yao was drafted: 2nd overall pick, Jason Williams. Where now? Where 3rd pick, Mike Thugleavy, now? Avoiding 7'6'' center would have served Rockets well.
Ahh damn, well this definitely wouldn't be the best year to miss the playoffs. Our guys need to step it up.
Idiotic reading comprehension. That was not the point of the post. I was arguing why the top FAs of 2010 wouldn't necessarily be attracted to the idea of playing for the Rockets not who we should've drafted in 2002.
That's an interesting way of interpreting "This team needs to start drafting based on injury risk assessment" and proceed to complain about "A 7'6, 300+ lb center doesn't project to have a long shelf life." Not complaining about 2002 draft at all.
You got me. There was a more recent post on the last page (post #58) where I mentioned a similar fact about Yao but in reference to another discussion. I thought you were responding to that. My "lack of patience to read carefully" failure. You pwned me.
You know, that's really a Donald Rumsfeld quote. The writer of the Boondocks isn't really a fan of the Bush administration.
My girlfriend's brother's wife used to hang out with Battier's sister's best friend. She tells me that Battier actually has personal problems and isn't really injured at all. That's why he missed all those games at the beginning of the season and has been playing poorly. The team knows about it. I know what the personal problem is, but I can't tell you guys.
I heard they watch soap operas together. Battier said no homo though. He just likes to watch soap operas with other feminine men.
