Man...all my favorite players in the past few years get traded. Landry...Chuck...Lowry...those guys had so much heart
So, we don't sign Dragic, but that is ok we still have Kyle, and then we try to sign Lin who will probably be matched by the Knicks, and we still trade Kyle. The rift must have been much worse than what anyone thought. Thanks Kyle for playing hard, and raising the bar of Rockets PGs. Good luck to you in Toronto - and try not to laugh too hard at Daryl Morey and his plans, because we are all too busy crying at the same time. DD
Trading a fringe all-star with one of the best contracts in the NBA for a gamble, I mean first-round pick
Man it takes bad luck and then you'll lose the starting PG job for the Rockets. Ginobli screws up your ankle or a bacterial infection....
I guess you wouldnt want Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, or any of the stars in the NBA you cant have it both ways
He isn't. Adelman wanted to close out games with PnR but Brooks wasn't comfortable/successful with it. So Adelman let him iso instead.
Lost for words, I normally wait for the dust to settle to make judgment. But the Rockets have lost their engines or their minds. We let go of a proven NBA talented player with a reasonable salary for first round draft pick (we know the record DM has with rookies = love for the 2009 draft busts!) There has got to be some light...We have NO TRUE centers and NO TRUE point guards but a plethora of undersized power forwards. About to over pay for FAs that will be either injured or sitting on the bench with foul trouble most of the season. I guess we are now in an Astros situation when they had Ed Wade and all the players hated him and was finally run out of town (after he gutted the team) I can't wait for the day I buy a Rockets jersey and know that player will be here for over a couple of seasons.
Toughest guy the Rockets have seen since Maxwell. I'm gonna miss him and will always root for him wherever he is in the NBA. Dear Kyle, may the NBA gods smile on you one day like they did Shane Battier and Juwan Howard!
