Trade Trevor, we have a better player in Cbud on the bench....and keep Shane and trade him at the trade deadline....as an expiring deal, or keep him on the cheap. DD
Although they should be flexible, chase is a 2. Chase cant play the 3 full time and shane is a 0. Shane shouldve been gone for an expiring contract or young pkayer.
I can't believe this is even an issue. I agree, he should've been traded when all that positive propaganda around him was at its peak.
The man love for the karaoke singer hasnt changed despite his steep decline. With yao out, he talked about doing more offensively. What did we get? The same, probably less and he still gets a pass. The "leader" stunk it up by getting exposed minus yao. I remember this summer telling those wearing the #31 jerseys that the common factors to the rockets defense was #11. Of course they didnt believe me despite every fact in the world pointing that way. Now as we try to remove the failures of years past, we still have many who wont let the 0 road performer go. We have some posters equating the role of ariza to that of jack haley even if all signs point to it being at least equal to big shot rbob in houston. Its pretty comical how people rate his value when his production on the road is beyond terrible. Right now the rockets couldnt give shane away and theyve been trying.
the suns are VERY high on amare right now. i doubt they would take anything that resembles that trade at this point.
Battier is an offensive liablity when there are not creators around him. But the rockets team next year will have more scorers than they know what to do with. He still plays excellent defense, despite what you Battier haters think, and he can hit an open shot. unlike his brick-layer teammate. the rockets defense became laughable when Battier got hurt late in the year.
are you actually comparing Trevor's participation to level to Jack Haleys? Trevor played more than 1 game in the regular season and he also played A LOT in the playoffs. How old was shane when he won his ring?
I like SB, but he's gotten slow recently. He can't keep up with the elite players like he used to be able to ... we saw this last playoffs against Kobe. Also, we saw TA really give Kobe a run for his money last season. I think TA will be the new SB, so let's give him a shot.
You are smoking Meth if you think Battier will significantly slow down Kevin Durant while he is in his 30's.
Maybe u should try reading what i wrote. I said his contriution to the lakers title run is equal to that of horry during the rockets title years especially the 94 yr. Trevor made huge,game deciding plays in the playoffs. Trevor kept the lakers in the game when eeryone was struggling on the road in a crucial game. Crucial plays in the playoffs on the road arent in shane's dictionary.
Clearly Trevor was carried to the title by perhaps the best player ever to play the game. The Jack Haley comment is meant as an exagerated point. DD
