But, history has shown that invariably one or both will go down with injuries. I too believe that you can not plan for that, but that you should build as strong a team as possible. I think they are good enough to win it all IF everyone is healthy and things break right, but in order to truly be a FAVORITE to win it, some tweaks and changes need to take place. DD
Dear Santa, I want ACTION FIGURES you know the ones that come with accessories (talent) and have the slashing leg movement and dribbling arm movement. I'd like to have some that can work without my favorite toys (Mcgrady and Yao) having to be plugged in. I don't care if i have to give up all of my plastic stand still dleague all star collection. You can have the Rafer (with low percentage jacking ability), the Luther (that turns transparent when you apply pressure), the Novak toy (the one that shoots great but you can't put the ball on the floor or it messes up), and the Hayes (the one that has smashing bricks for hands). Thanks, pmac P.S. I know its about to be June but i need these toys quick My 2 favorite toys are very brittle and I'm afraid they won't last long and i end up playing with my oldest toy waay too much because i keep breaking one of my favorite toys. My oldest toy is won't last forever so it would help if my friends would stop asking to borrow my favorite toy so much.
You know the way the Rockets' play without Yao is great against some teams. This could mean more rest for Yao during the season now that we know this, increasing the chances of him NOT getting injured again. I think the Rockets are going to utilize this and save Yao for the important games and decrease his play time. So I'd say let's not get anything we don't need and just use what we know for future strategy. If anything get these rookies in form and get Francis in form and we'll be good. How about a new fitness staff... Maybe a new perimeter shooter if anything... We could use someone who can be a consistent threat from the 3 line.
Dada, I hope you were a bad boy this year and get coal. Because what you want would rip the glue and soul from one of the most special Rockets teams of all-time. Boki and Green? Seriously?
I thought the SG position was a little lacking in depth with your team and your PF is way over stacked.
Why would the Clippers do this? They have, as of now, 8 players under contract for a total of 53 mil. If Brand opts out, they're even more under the cap. And I'm pretty sure if The Don was going to trade his most favorite Clipper since Danny Manning, he'd want more back than Rafer and BJax. If Maggette bolts, I don't see why wouldn't they just let him go..especially if the BEST they can do is Alston/Bjax. I hope the Raptors can get better value for Calderon than Battier plus trash. I don't mind seeing Nachbar again but Green has bring more to the table this time around than an uncanny ability of blowing out candles on cupcakes. I know/hope this was sarcasm at its finest DD, because at last check, 3 out of the 4 teams left are defensive oriented teams.
not bad thinking but colangelo won't let calderon go for anything. if i had to pipe dream about roster moves i would wish for: 1. battier, bjax, hayes, novak, 2 firsts ---> Redd Why: the bucks will draft redd's replacement. skiles would LOVE shane and chuck. jax ending contract and the 2 firsts help in the retooling stage. novak is a local guy. 2. francis, butler (still under contract and tradable), head, brooks ---> ford Why: francis and butler combine for $5M in endings (half of fords salary) brooks provides the replacement. BRING ON THE ARGENTINES! delfino and hermann would be awesome signings after landry is taken care of. yao-deke-woods scola-landry-harris tmac-hermann redd-delfino ford-rafer up tempo, offensively potent and defensively minded.
