Did anybody hear Les on the season ticket holder conference call?

what station was it on?

WE have a poster here that was asking everyone what he should ask.

Did Les say anything about JVG or Silas?

What did they say about Morey?

 

Brandon Roy or Rudy Gay come on down. I guess Ronnie Brewer, and Rodney Carney could be possiblities, but they've got more question marks than the other two.

I bet they'll take a look at PF too if Aldridge, Thomas, or maybe Bargnani falls.

 

that leaves out the bbs favorite jj redick, also foye & marcus williams.

brandon roy would be great. carney too. other than that the big guards in the draft can't shoot (gay, brewer).

 

Why does everyone consider Roy a big guard? I believe he's something like 6-4.

Rudy Gay and then Rodney Carney are definitely who we should be looking at in that order. Ronnie Brewer is definitely a possibility, but he's not a top 7 pick, he can easily slip to 10th because of his elbow deformity causing his unorthodox shooting form.

 

It ended up being pre selected questions and since mine were hardball questions they did not pick them.

CD says Spanilious will be in camp next year and that they have full confidence in JVG.

As far as the Roster do not look for any big moves for two reasons, there are salery cap restrictions/a weak free agent class.

The ideal senario for the future is to retain Lindsey in a primary role and CD in a senior advisory role/special consultant to Les.

They acknowleged a need for a big athletic 2 and also said they have faith in Swift but will not rule out anyone other than T-MAC or YAO being traded.

Les said he is willing to go over the cap if there is the right sign and trade/ regualar trade out there.

Les said if we did not have the injuries we would of been a 50-60 win team this year and for us (the fans to have faith in them).

Nothing came up about selling the team or Bob Sura's health.

One more important note Les seemed like it was priority number one for him to get the Rockets back to the finals.

 

FYI Gay is very overrated.

 

docgundy, do you feel that Brewer's unorthodox shot will work in the NBA? This isn't meant as a criticism. I want to know your assessment.

 

For the top 3 picks yes, not at our 8th-10th pick.

 

that's fair

 

It really depends. I myself had a very unorthodox shot, but it was on the money. Once I played at higher levels, the shot didn't work as much, so I had to change form, so within a matter of 2 years, I had gone from one of the best shooters of my class to a nobody. Ronnie Brewer seems the type of player who scores off the dribble and on cuts to the basket. He's a great creator for his team, but can he fit in this team? I don't think so. He's not good enough to be a 3rd option, and the spot-up shot is not his forte. He can certainly be a quality player, but I don't really see him as an upgrade over Keith Bogans. Rudy Gay is still the best bet, with Rodney Carney following.

 

I think Gay's got Stro's heart. Sometimes he's there, sometimes he's not. If Gay was the best player on the board, I say we trade down 1 spot or try trading up . Hell, throw in Stro to make it work.

 

You have to like a guy like this for our team!

 

Nonsense! Maybe with a 100% Sura, a younger version of Barry, James, and Padgett. With the current crew, ridiculous! That would have never happened, and if they don't make significant changes, next year, they will prove it. I am not buying the B.S. anymore. Put a decent team on the court, political correctness doesn't win in this league, talent does.

 

Well with Mac and Yao both healthy, we did go 21-10.

 

Take a look at the schedule, which teams were beaten in those twenty-one victories and what is their combined record at this point in the season? That record does not extrapolate to the entire schedule. If CD and Les want to sell the idea that they have assembled the supporting cast of the future, I'm not buying. Nothing more than PR baloney; the current role players suck and they know it.

 

Translation....

We got robbed.
