    First Mike James, then Steve Francis and now Brooks. Don't get me wrong, I like Brooks and all but this is a little premature. He needs to outplay Rafer like Scola and Landry have been outplaying Hayes in order for this to happen. In other words, he needs to earn it, not have it handed to him ala David Carr.

    because when you have an opportunity to state something that goes against popular opinion with a negative tone, disguising it as though you're "different" from everyone and end it with a " ;)" or " :D " as though you really have good intentions in mind
    you gotta make good on it

    The sheep here would have been ready to burn JVG at the stake if he had been the one to bump Aaron Brooks from the rotation to make room for a 35 year old former player of his. JVG used to hate rookies!

    NO ,I don't think so.Though Aaron is doing a nice job,but lack of experience.Rafer is fit for the system much better with his attack.Aaron is still young,I advice him to read more about the game till staring him.

    I see what your saying but its not like Adelman pulled Bobby Jackson from the YMCA, like JVG did with Rod Strickland.

    No man, Rafer brings the up tempo and experience and knows other players better.

    There's no chance for being overstarted by a rookie.

    You obviously haven't been reading the trade thread if you thought people liked the move. Obviously, there's less emphasis on Adelman this time because it was not a move made SPECIFICALLY to pick up Jackson. But it's not as if the Rockets were given a free pass this time.

    That said, it really does depend on how he performs. If he performs like Strickland/Mark Jackson... then Adelman better go back to Brooks again.

    Hell no, we are in a playoff chasing race now....DaDa....well, if we do think it is not time this year, starting AB might not be a bad idea.

    I don't think this is the year for him, it looks like he's hit a wall. The offense doesn't run very smooth with him on the floor yet. Plus now that we have BJ who knows how to run the system AB can learn off him and probably learn a little quicker. Maybe by playoff time he'll have like 7 minutes a game.

    How many ex-Knicks JVG stuffed the Houston Knicks with?
