    If we move lil' Stevie for Tmac or someone else, would it be worth it to bring the glove to Houston?

    He's got an attitude... JVG would hate that.

    Hope this ain't a retread thread, I haven't been checking the board much until this week.

    Why on Earth would Payton want to be a Rocket?

    I hate Gary Payton the way most people hate Karl Malone. It's funny, but I've always had more vitriol for Seattle than Utah. I mean, back in the day, we BEAT Utah, and beat them handily. The stinkin' Sonics, though, always had our number. Payton and Kemp and Schremph and John Lithgow -- I absolutely despised that team.

    I hated the Sonics. I hated the city of Seattle. I hated the state of Washington. I hated John Lithgow and all of his movies (not much of a sacrifice, really. I was never a big fan of Harry and the Hendersons, anyway). I hated the Sonic fastfood chain. I hated the Sonic videogame.

    And most of all, more than anything, I hated Gary Payton.

    Pass.

    You want us to give away SF, so we can get an older SF with a bigger mouth? By the way, what attracts GP so much to make him come to the Rockets?

    he could be a good backup, but i dont see him getting a starting job anywhere else at his advanced age, unless he comes back to lakerland since all they have is fisher.

    Even though we all hate karl malones guts, would he not be the perfect fit next to yao. Malone can still rebound and defend, but doesnt bang in the paint anymore on the offensive end. If he wasnt named karl malone I would to have a PF of his skills. His jumpshot is one of the most consistant in the league.

    It sure is.


    rockergordon, don't take it personally. I wasn't saying I don't like you etc. I was showing my distaste for GP.

    Oh, and to the guy who recomended Malone. I would wrather lick a toilet seat. ;)

    I'd rather have Fisher - at least he can make outside shots. Gary's defense is no longer any better than Steve's, and he shoots 3's at a 30% clip. The only thing he does better is posting up, and I'd rather have Yao do that.
