It says that the Rockets are "targeting a SF this draft". I don't recall ever reading that in any official manner before now...and so matter of factly...even considering how GMs throw out false rumors. False info aside, I don't recall Feigan or oeilpere ever saying that, or Clutch mentioning that his contacts ever saying that so matter of factly....short of oeilpere saying Rudy wants 7 footers with range....like that describes Richard Jefferson or Shane Battier. Did I not get all the memos about SF is Top Priority? What am I missing? [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited May 15, 2001).]
From CriscoKidd hey, didn't you know with all these kidds declaring that this is a sf heavy draft? I sure wish the Rocks could move up to get a center though.
From Achebe heyp, keep up. (j/k) Mikey Murphy et. al. have repeatedly discussed the Rockets targetting a SF in this year's draft. It also stands to reason since the Rockets will more than likely pick at #13, that they'll more than likely draft a SF what w/ the Weight Forward draft line of prospects (my first fly fishing joke, ba-dom-dom). So Crisco, what sort of names are you thinking of for heyp? 'heyIsuck' kind of rings a bell. hahahahhahaha.
wow,,,so I didn't get all the memos afterall... SF is so unneeded, I'll make a crazy bet that says a 3rd string PG is more important than another SF. And, I'm going against all these draft experts with their long history of guessing correctly who Rudy picks. Yet, only Crisco wants to bet me ??? Bet is: winner gets to change the other's moniker. I want more...and what a glorious world it would be...

From Achebe heyp, just for clarification, Clutch did drop a duzie a while back that the Rockets were crazy for Battier and Jefferson.
From Jeff SF is so unneeded, I'll make a crazy bet that says a 3rd string PG is more important than another SF. How do you define "more important?" If it is more important to YOU, there is no way to win the bet. If you think it is more important to the Rockets, you already lost because SF is FAR more important to them than that. If you mean from a theoretical standpoint, I'm not sure how any of us could prove it is more important. That is largely opinion.
From Joe Joe HP, Another SF? Shannon's gone. Langhi's not ready. The less Walt plays the better the rockets play, and this is his last season. I don't care if the rockets play a 3rd guard or a SF, but the rockets need more than Mobley and Francis in the rotation at the 2 and 3.
From HOOP-T HEY-T huh? It just doesn't have that ring to it. But if I won, not that I am a gambling man - but if I was, there are a few possibilities for you Heyp.... Hey-HOOP-T HOOP-artner HOOP-par-T Hey-Tart
From Curly I think it's ironic that the picture on the cover page has the SF we would love to draft this year guarded by the SF we would have loved to have drafted last year.
damn, everyone's chicken but Crisco.... hmnmmm and to think chicken is better with Crisco. the cc.net draft profiles continuously say we will pass on PFs in favor of SFs, have no chance of getting Brown or a Center, and PG is the last position we need.... to think I've been waiting for this draft report to provoke more bets out of people. But Noooooo....everyone thinks their monikers and post counts are too precious and defining to put on the table...."can't we debate without bringing names into it".... don't you want to have naming rights over heypartner.... yooo hooo,,,come get some. Let's make this Summer fun! Throw your Monikers to the wind in a game of dreamcasting worth remembering. come on...Lil HEAD come on...grummet who hates to type I'll spare you and only truncate your name come on...Won't you know this is the fastest way to pass keeley in low post counts come on...HOOP-partee come on...heypoopy it will make JayZ jealous
From HOOP-T OK, let's get exact clarification on the bet. Restate the bet, because as Jeff stated, what's "important" is rather subjective. I may be in.....but you have to sell me on it.
HOOP-T-HEY the long version of the rules Crisco, Mango and I agreed on are above. Here is the abridged version... the spirit of the bet is this: come Nov 1st: 1. if we keep a 3rd string PG, I win 2. if we make any trade for a top 20 NBA SF, you win. 3. if we keep a rookie SF projected ahead of Langhi for next season, you win. 4. on any ties, if we land Webber, I win...just because. Read my long thing above. The rest of the bet agreement concerns how do we know if the new SF is projected ahead of Langhi. For instance, a project doesn't subjectively beat out Langhi as a project by some cc.net devine right; Rudy must say it. Best way to deal with this is make a Nov 1st deadline on the Rudy declaration that Langhi was beat out. I'm could stretch that to Nov 15th, I guess. So, proof is in the pudding when talking about starting the season with 3 PGs is more important than a improving the SF spot. What is really silly, is all you athletic SF-craving, Sportscenter-highlight-reel-loving, Cato-will-improve-buying, Dreamcast playing, low-post-count-laying, cc.net-draft-notes-relaying posters are buying CD's headfakes once again....and buying into this talk that SF is our top priority in the draft vs PF. <font size"1"> In case you didn't notice: That's another provocative *jab* to get you guys to make me eat my words... </font>
And people said I talked to myself in threads... ------------------ The Protrolls.com message boards! Protrolls.com! Don't visit my site.
yeah, yeah...I would of let it disappear for good after the accidental deletion, but we have bet talk going on. ...so, you afraid to bet me ZRB, or do you agree with me. Nice no-win answer there, 'eh.
When did HeyP get his thread deletion power back, that he had begged for months ago? Will the power corrupt him, or will he use it for good? The BBS waits and wonders ... in fear. ------------------ We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with some w**** he picked up in town.
who says I deleted it??? There was an attempted edit on my bet to freeze it in stone...didn't work. So, you afraid to bet me, too, SamCassell? If you lose, you become RobertHorry for picking an athletic SF over a backup PG.
