    Exactly.. Especially one that could have ended your career.. Now on the other hand the way he handled the entire situation was very immature and childish..

    People need to start separating those 2 things.

    really Dada? Really?

    I hate disagreeing with you so much, but you say so many things. and i disagree with all of them.

    We currently have Trevor Ariza, Shane Battier and Chase Buddinger. Additionally we play a very effective line-up with Lowry at the two. those are four effective players playing two spots.

    We are looking to integrate Tracy McGrady into this mix and chances are, he will stick (given that he may well be untradeable).

    and you're calling for Von Wafer and Mike Harris?

    Did you know I know Matt Bullard

    Friedman in the last Rockets podcast gave his opinion that the Rockets needed a star level player possibly at either PG or SG to be real contenders next season.

    Going back to when Richard Justice said a player better than Bosh could be available at the trade deadline...

    Could such a player be someone like Steve Nash?

    The recession/housing market collapse has really hurt the Suns this season.

    Heh.....I figured if anyone has experiences with the frustration of an 0-9 shooting night it is Rafer.

    I would have fumbled it worse than you did. BTW....what were you trying to say? (btw Rafer and Ariza....just curious).

    I know I'd turn into a stumbling rambling idiot, so I don't bother to call. Only called a radio show once, which was one my way home after the Astros beat the Braves in the playoffs the game before the 18 inning one.

    EDIT: Nevermind....you added it.


    Ya, Ariza has seriously been a disapointment. He can't create his own shot when the entire D is focusing on him, and he doesn't have the dribbling skills needed to drive it in and staying under control.

    Like they said on the radio, he almost seems he'd be better off at the 3 if we had a 2 who could create.

    Thanks for calling in, DaDakota. I appreciate the compliments on the T-Mac article too.

    I think we'd hear more about Ariza's poor shooting if it wasn't for the McGrady distraction... still, unlike Rafer, it doesn't bother me too much (yet) because he's young and he's being asked to do more than I would expect he will be doing next year.

    Nuño was out Friday so we didn't do the show then, but we'll pick back up with John and Lance tomorrow morning at 8:30am.

    Rockets have made seven trades in December this decade. Morey has a little over a week to add to that tally.


    02-03: KT for Posey
    03-04: Moochie + Amaechi for Weatherspoon
    04-05: MoT for Moochie + Baker
    Gaines for M.James + Z.Hamilton
    J.Jackson + Boki for Wesley
    Lue for J.Barry
    08-09: Francis for a 2R pick (Memphis under cap)

    I wonder if he is really being asked to do much more than he will be next year. It seems to me that he is projected as "Next Rockets Star". And if that's the case then it bothers me

    Uh, whoops... sorry about this, but I must have missed the memo. John & Lance not on this morning -- Sporting News radio broadcasting, I'm guessing because of the holidays.

    OK it's back on today -- I'll be on talking Rockets with Raheel at 12:05pm ... would love to hear what T-Mac/Rockets questions/topics you got, either on the board or via call-in. Thanks...
