    Kwame Brown had superstar potential as well...

    Houston does have a problem though, it's you.

    Lol good one.

    BTW Kwame never had superstar potential. His limited basketball and actual IQ gave him zero chance of ever becoming a star.

    Were you actually comparing Kyrie Irving to Kwame Brown?

    The point is your attacking me personally not the basis of my point. I still feel that the rockets have zero players with superstar potential and we have no chance of obtaining a superstar in the near future

    Potential is a matter of perception..

    If Kwame didn't go 1 he would have been top 5. He was at the time (clearly now foolishly) compared to KG and Webber. Important people thought he was a superstar in the making.

    Easy now to say he is and always was going to be garbage. Its a good bet Kyrie will be better but.. superstar?! (D-Wade,Lebron,Melo,Dwight,CP3,Dirk,Kobe,etc..) ain't gon' happen. Nice player, maybe a bench All-Star someday.

    He is not an "asset" no matter what the context of the word is.

    Phx legit center in Gortat

    Great trading chip in Nash

    Plus phx is not stuck in the middle they have more hope for the future. They will have a high pick in a strong draft. If they trade Nash they can reload with young talent.

    How is Nash a great trading chip? Who wants a step-slow point that cannot defend, I would say anymore but we all know he never really could.

    Don't get me wrong, a team would take him, but I like Martin or Scola as an asset that rounds out a championship team better than Nash.

    They just signed Redd and re-signed Frye to a stupid contract and Hill. They have absolutely no idea what they're going to do with their future.

    And no wants Nash as much now. The window of opportunity of has passed to get someone good for him.

    Gortat is a plus, but that's about it.

    Nash is still Nash. Many teams would still love to have Nash. Don't go overboard he had one bad game.

    Lol at how people think Nash is done because he had a bad game.

    I also fogot that Ab is a restricted free agent, so most likely he will be back with the Suns. I still think AB will be a good starter in the NBA

    No. Nash is done because he is a 37 year old point guard who could never defend and whose TS and eFG percentages have been steadily dropping over the last couple years.

    Unless they made a qualifying offer to AB before the season started, then he is an UR when he is eligible to return from China in March or early April.

    I have not seen any news on an offer, so I do not think they made one.

    Pick one troll. Either one game matter or it doesn't.

    Because I am reasonable, I say it doesn't. You can, however, look at the downward trend in his offensive statistics over the last 4 seasons and understand that the cliff is quickly approaching.

    Lol if you think Nash is done your crazy. Go ahead and count out Steve Nash, that's a bad move. Nash is not the best but he's still really good.
