http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/6499322 The new building that will open next season in Houston was named the Toyota Center on Thursday when the naming rights were officially presented and purchased by the automaker. Evidently, it was not for enough money that they will match the $24 million offer sheet forward James Posey signed with the Memphis Grizzlies this week. They are expected to sign sweet-shooting Eric Piatkowski to a three-year deal for between $8 million and $9 million total. But the consistent buzz out of Houston is more about new coach Jeff Van Gundy reining in the fast and loose attitudes of Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley, which is the real reason Rudy Tomjanovich is no longer the head coach.
TOTAL speculation on the part of the unwise writer of that short article. And Im not saying he is unwise in what he said about Steve and Cat needing to control themselves better, Im talking about the Rudy statement. Dont tarnish his great career with loads of crap like that.
In actuality Kahn is a respected writer, and tight with Rudy, I have been told in the past. This is part of a longer article and one I found interesting due to the author, and possible source. Therefore, this is interesting as it is revealing, if perhaps pointed.
