I think we have been left hanging a little bit on this draft. Walt isn't our future SF and we hardly know anything about Langhi. Langhi could be anything from CBA bound trade bait to the Rockets starting SF for the next 8 years. I desperately wish we could have seen him play more this year. The bigger question for me is why the draft profile says the Rockets aren't looking for a Center in the draft and therefore wouldn't take Loren Woods. My ONLY wish in this draft is that we get 1, 2, or 3 voracious defensive players, preferably ones that can block shots. With the loss of Hakeem in the next year or two the Rockets are going to get REAL soft. Neither Taylor or Webber are going to provide us with the defense that we desperately need around the basket. I think that will become a glaring weakness very soon.
If you can block a shot without fouling out that makes you the second best defensive player on the team. ------------------

I see the Rockets bringing Colson back, I also see the Rockets drafting a SF thats projected higher than Langhi, and I also see the Rockets signing Webber. Which side do I fall on? ------------------ [This message has been edited by Band Geek Mobster (edited May 16, 2001).]
Hey Geek Partner, Crisco was fine with my bet definition, but achebe chickened out. Smeggy wants none of this. But hell, I'll take even more risk. I'm so confident the draft reports that the Rockets are targeting a prototype SF *yet again* are a smoke screen by CD trying to confuse his drafting competitors, I'll even amend my bet. You win all ties...how about that! Webber included. 1. If there is no 3pg, I lose my moniker 2. If there is a SF as described, I lose my moniker 3. If there is a 3rd PG *and* there is no new SF as described, you lose. This is the ONLY way you lose. Forget Webber; forget ties. These 3 new betting criteria eliminate *all* ties. I see SamCassell, Pimp, Jeff and ZRB don't want any of this...oh, their precious post counts and historical monikers .... Put your Moniker and post counts where your debate is! Let's have some fun.
If you are in, you will lose! Prototype SFs are not high priority for our offense. You might win if we land one unexpectedly like #33, Walt and almost SAR. But, Rudy has no track record for drafting SFs, nor trading for them. He wants Freakish mismatches at the 3. You will lose. Your name will be Oy!Ocker, if i'm in a good mood. But I reserve to right to make it HeyOcker.

Here's my question, heypartner. How do you propose making multiple bets? You only have one name to change. So if you lose, who gets to pick your new name? Is it going to be a group collaboration? If I was a betting man (and I'm not) I'd want an equal quid for my quo. Meanwhile, you get unfettered discretion to pick new names for each and every one of your betting opponents. Hardly seems right. ------------------ 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.
RobertHorry, Those are words coming from a man who actually believes I can win this bet. You know, that must mean you also believe the cc.net draft notes are falling for CD's headfaking out the other GMs for yet another year of self-imposed draft day pain. "OOOh, he really does want that highlight reel SF this year. Oh boy, we get more media coverage with those guys. Juicy." Maybe if you could find one person to bet on my side, we could pair up on naming rights, but I don't think anyone believes my side has a chance in hell to win giving the fact we have THREE draft picks, oh maybe DanDakota does, i guess. "If I were a betting man...." So RobertHorry, you actually do care about your moniker history. What's there to lose. Your man left long ago. About fairness in reciprocating punishment, seeing how my moniker is mangled daily by the masses, heyP, beyP, heypee, heyparty, heypouty, heypoo...etc, this seems fairly reciprocating to me. I don't know, ask Crisco what's fair. Maybe you guys can continuously pound me down all year next year by stripping me of my moniker each month. You bet me; you will lose, but if you want to shut me up, you'll have to bet me. Evil conundrum, 'eh.
I actually want a new moniker as I need to drop that 2000 anyway - but Oreo2000 is not making it any better. Another problem is I believe the propaganda you are selling, although I might see them taking Gasol, but he is a walking mismatch so that would fit Rudy to a T. So what are we gonna bet about? And the problem of what if you lose HeyPee is real, as most think you do. Who is going to get to change your moniker? ------------------ The CC.net NBA Sim Homepage - Rosters & Stats - Official Trades
