I been checking out this site for the llongest and Im tired of you idiots proposing the rockets make dub trades or the other NBA are willing to make dumbs trades. 1 You will not trade Francis or Yao Yao is the most markiable in the world today and he haven't even prove nothing. We all se that he has the talent to be the most dominate center in the league he's already the second (cause Tim Duncan dumb ass wont ply his real position). Francis is somthing the rockets haven't had since Calvin Murphy and all star point guard. He is also the voice of the team and will be the one that holds it together. The reason why he don't average 7+ assist a game is because the Rockets don't run enough (Van Gundy Ball). I tired of you idiots saying he don't play defence cause the man do. Hes always in his mans face. You rarey see him broke down. Only way an opponet get by him is via a pick thats it. 2 Why do yall want these consitant horiable players. Kurt Thomas has no offensive game hes another Cato. Jamal Tinsley plays no defence what so ever and he turns the ball over more per minute than Francsis. Speedy Claxton has no offensive gome whats so ever. The leauge would just give him a jump shot. You make trades to make your team better not to make it worse alright dummies 3 Teams wanna get better too Why do you think Dallas would traade the rockets Jamirson for Cato. Or why it get worse Mochie for Rasheed Wallace. Come on do you think the whole league is as dumb as you. to reinterate you make trades to make your team better 4 Dammit be patient The rockets just got a team last year thats has enough talent to make it to the playoffs. Naw we wait til they learn to play together. Chemistry is formed by getting to know your team. If you keep making trades before you can gel you end up the LA Clippers keep saying were almost there. Why do you thinks its called reuilding any way. Lets not forget we are in the west. Pay attention to the league. The Rockets are at worse a 3 seed in the east. Im not talking record. I talking talent wise. We must remember we play the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks and KIngs 4 times a year. We only play the weak east 2 times a year. But theturn over in the weat will begin soon. Kobe is a free agent and the other three in LA only got 2 to 3 years left in there playing career. Cause afther that Shaq will be playing 40 to 50 games a year cause of injury. PS. expect Denver to give us trouble tonight. Its a ack to back. they rested and we just played a grinder in LA. Yao Cato and Taylor had to content with Shaq. And there is thin air in Denver and they are a running team so the Rockets wil apear to be tired.
1) No need to call anyone names. 2) Just because you don't agree that a trade "makes sence", doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. You're entitled to your own opinion, as are other people. I'm sure there are tons of trades that have actually happened that you don't agree with - it's not because you're smarter than NBA General Managers, it's because they put stock into different things than you do. It's because they have a different opinion on what's important to the team and which direction it should go. 3) Nuggets are without Carmelo and Camby. Possibly Nene as well. So I think we should have a chance to win it as long as we contain Lenard and Miller.
Associated Press: DENVER (AP) Nuggets rookie Carmelo Anthony could miss Friday's game against the Houston Rockets because a strained toe. ``If it's something that is still bothering him, we're going to hold him out. No question his health is much more important to me right now,'' Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said Wednesday. Anthony has been bothered by a sprained right toe for a week and a half. He has been in pain the past two games, shooting only 9-for-32. Marcus Camby is uncertain for Friday's game because of a lower back strain. Nene has a left thumb sprain but should be ready. ------------------------------------------------------------------ That's the last thing I read. Is there an update somewhere?
Looks like Melo is probable and Camby doesn't know yet: Thursday, December 25, 2003 Anthony, Camby may play vs. Rockets ESPN.com news services DENVER -- Denver's Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby should be ready to play Friday against the Rockets, coach Jeff Bzdelik said Thursday. Anthony, the impressive rookie, has been bothered by a lingering toe strain. "I'm going to play through it," Anthony told the Denver Post. "I'm going to try. It should be well by Friday." Camby, though, was a little less optimistic about his strained lower back and groin injury. Camby told the newspaper he's a "game-time decision," even though his injuries are improving every day. Both did conditioning work as their teammates practiced Wednesday. The two players will have time to rest with Christmas Day off. The Nuggets may remain especially cautious with Anthony, who has taken the NBA by storm during his rookie year. If it's something that is still bothering him, we're going to hold him out. No question his health is much more important to me right now," Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said Tuesday.
Okay Rockets trade Steve Francis. GSW trade Mike Dunleavy Jr., Troy Murphy, and Avery Johnson. The Warriors get a flash player that can draw a crowd in apathetic Oakland (as fanatical as Raider fans are, you would think the W's could get some support, but they don't). NVE should be able to play alongside Steve. Rockets solve their forward problems with two good talented young players. Murphy gives us the best of what we get from Taylor and Cato put into one player. Dunleavy can start at SF and improve our rebounding and outside shooting. Avery Johnson is a salary cap throw-in, but could provide some backup minutes at the 1 to reduce Moochie's time on the court. Jim Jackson takes over the point guard duties. Overall our ball movement and defense should be improved immensely. If necessary, Cato and possibly Jackson could later be moved for a better starting point guard. How is that for a trade that makes "sence"?
1) If you have in fact been reading so long here, then you should know that there isnt a person here that likes being called names repeatedly...its unnecessary and childish of you to do so . of course, since I dont propose trades or think that they are needed. you weren't directing those at me...but still....we expect better from our posters here...fall in line, or fall out. 2) We took the Nugs last time we played them....and we have a good record on the second night of back to backs.. Yao got bookoo rest in the second half at Lakers...so he shouldnt be tired...and without Camby and Melo not at 100%...we have a more than good chance to win.
