Damon visits Toyota Center today

Damon Stoudamire with the LLE and Stromile with the MLE. That would be awesome!

....Of course the cynic could say we are showing Damon around because we are going to offer him part of the MLE (and perhaps the other part to some other PF like Othella Harrington or Mikki Moore) because our plans for Stromile fell threw.

 

Where did you get that information from?

 

Damon is a sign that we're dealing a guard in a SNT.

 

I don't want to draw any conclusions on Damon but damn we need a PF

 

Outstanding news.

I know he and Wesley make an undersized backcourt tandem, but I am liking the thought of Mighty Mouse on this team the more I think about it.

Why not bench Wesley and start Sura at the 2?

 

I can verify this.

 

You know what? We may not be able to get a good power forward this year. If thats the case, its not the end of the world. We still need to improve the team any way we can and hopefully get a power forward either in the middle of the season with a trade or just wait until next year and make due with what we have at the 4. Either way, just because we need a 4, doesn't mean we should not look at others ways of improving the team with guards, centers, etc...

 

Great news! For the right money, Damon would be perfect fit on this team.

DCballer, we are desperate for anything Rockets related, so PLEASE chime in even if you think it's silly news and nothing major.

Thanks

 

My thoughts exactly ...

Lets see entice a PG to join the rockets even though we have 5 guards and not put all efforts and stops to aquire a real need at the four.. They better pull a rabit out of there @@# soon

 

Because Sura is not a good shooter. A 2 guard is also know as a "shooting guard".

 

so let's assume damon wants to do a S and T the the blaz are game. Does that mean WEsley and Sura are gone? Would they even want wesley? Such a shame to lose a guy like Bobby

 

I'm sure the Rockets are going after a forward and Damon. They already made their offer to Swift so they know what they can give to Stoudamire.

 

Yea, because the season starts tommorrow.

 

C'mon,give it up Faos. How about Les,CD,JVG,and Tracy welcoming Stromile Swift and Damon Stoudamire?

 

Nah, I'm still holding out hope we can do a sing & trade for Swift and then sign Damon w/ some MLE money.

 

Wasn't the rumor around draft time that the Rockets would send Sura and Wesley to Portland for Ratliff and a guard?

Can a player who just re-signed with a team be be involved in a multi-player sign and trade deal? Or can he not be combined with any mutli-player deals?

 

Well, Wesley wasn't exactly shooting lights out by the end of last season.

Besides, the beauty of Mighty Mouse is that he's a great long-range shooter. That allows you to start Sura at the 2.

 

I agree. Sura starting at two gives us the offguard who can rebound and can penetrate if need be. He can also share PT with head and barry (when we resign)

We really need to start getting rid of these guards. Hopefully the SNT will happen to where we free up these useless guards.
