    Right on HP, kenny looks great out there when the rock's offense is flowing well. Kenny gets many easy layups because of his first step quickness.

    he gets a few easy lay ups because no one expects him to do much. if kenny would pick up the pace and think quicker and start playing "team ball" we might would wanth im to start more.

    ok im back and i just watched espn alternate and there are two teams that want kenny thomas?? geez thats a blessing, the newyork knicks and the sixers. gee if we could get kenny out of here that would prolly let eddie start and then we could get some good role player off the bench from either newyork or philly.

    Are you sure, it's the Knicks? They've been needing more post help for the longest time, but if they think KT will do the trick. HAHAHAHA What a joke on them huh?

    Well, even if we trade KT, we can probably poach the Knicks for a few good forwards. But I'll leave that for another thread.

    :p :p :p

    i didnt believe it to much my self but yes they do have post problems. the say kenny is the "cutting edge" of the rockets. lord knows they may have only watched like two rockets games this year. philly says there team is slumping and they notcied the rockets forward when he played a great defensive game against them!! lol they crack me up! let them have him.

    Yao1134,

    I dont understand what your point is. You are not being clear.

    Are you saying that you dont like KT and that Eddie should start?

    Yao,

    You are confusing me. You said earlier that KT is a cancer and now you are saying hes a good player and trade bait for two teams (btw ...where did you hear this again?).

    What makes you think that EG is a better all around player than Kenny Thomas is? I mean, if EG is the better all around player, Rudy must be a moron for playing KT ahead of him.

    I don't want this thread to digress off-topic too much... but here's my two cents on either Kurt Thomas or Derrick Coleman.

    NO and HELL NO

    Both have anger management problems and one of them beats up on his wife. A real big NO NO. The Rockets don't need wife beaters or druggees... I think the only real asset the Knicks can provide, of decent market value, is Sprewell. And even then, I would imagine Spree would be used as trade bait to pick up other good players.

    Had I been able to find the other "trade KT" threads, I would've used em, but it's been a pain searching through old threads.

    my 2 cents

    :p :p :p

    ok kenny is a good player. but he is a cancer to OUR TEAM. he doesnt fit in HOUSTON! lol eddie fits our game style better. he knows he a ROLE PLAYER. notice, kenny tries to be the start forward sometimes and takes dumb shots. kenny can play good when hes not being selfish but he is too selfish, therefore he is a cancer

    do get what im saying now. we need to start eddie
    NOT KENNY! kenny is a cancer he holds the ball too long and makes poor descisons. other teams see him(well a couple) as a good priemer player in this league. hey coleman is a good veteran player whats wrong with him??

    Aaron Mckie would be a nice pickup, if the Sixers were willing to give him up. How about McKie & Brian Skinner for KT & Hawkins?

    So KT is a good player, yet a cancer to our team. Interesting.

    Kenny tries to be the starting forward because he is the starting forward. :rolleyes:

    So how would he not be a cancer to every other team in the NBA and why would they want him?

    KT has the better FGA to assist ratio in comparison to Eddie. So how can you label him as being selfish?

    and i got off topic a bit and left out something. eddie needs to end the games which is most import he can play in the clutch pretty well . think if eddie improves his jumper and gets better on the bords combined with his 3 poitn shot eddie will be an allaround forward who will give us 3 starting clutch shooters. steve, yao, and eddie so when we can have the good shooters in the clutch. if u ahvent noticed lately we have lost alot of games at the end. NO KENNY AT THE END OF GAMES WE NEED EDDIE! rudy always puts kenny in at the clutch moments.

    lol well im glad im having someone ot argue with on here . kenny is better than alot of forwards,ok. but on our team he is a cancer cuz he wants to be the star at the end of games when we have better shooters on the floor. if we are gonna go to a forward at the end of gaems make it eddie!

    Rudy always has KT in at the end of games because KT is the superior player right now. Do you not trust Rudy's judgement? What incentive would he have to play KT ahead of EG if EG is the superior player?

    Why do you say that KT wants to be the star at the end of games? So far this year, I dont even remember him taking, making or missing a shot in the last minutes of a close game.

    Also, why would you want EG in at the end of games when KT is the better defender?

    Yao,

    Ive concluded that you really dont watch KT and EG much on the defensive end. EG's defense is part of the reason he was benched. KT's asset on D is that he can indeed guard people out on the floor and in the post. Hes diverse. EG's defensive fundamentals are flawed and sporadic. He can block shots with his weakside help, but other than that, he has poor footwork and is not nearly as physical with his man as he should be.
