Dear Mr Alexander: Thank you for all you have done for this franchise. As a lifelong Rocket, Hakeem Olajuwon and -- more recently -- Chucky Brown fan, I urge you to turn down Hakeem Olajuwon's forthcoming waive request with the following tough-love logic. Feel free to quote. 1. We need a center. Mr. Olajuwon, you are a fine center. We would enjoy having you play center for us. 2. You are a Rocket. We are glad you are a Rocket. Usually, anyway. Now look, if you did not want to be a Rocket this year, you should have signed a deal ending last year, not this one. Odds are pretty slim you would be receiving $16 million this year were you a free agent last summer. But who am I to say. Feel free to prove me wrong this coming summer. 3. Be patient. If you want to "win a championship" with someone else, you can do that next year. Good luck. We're not holding our breath, but good luck nonetheless. 4. Like you're gonna run sprints for 43 hours under Pat Riley. Get real, Dream. 5. If you stay, we promise to change the current uniforms designed by that 8-year-old from Alief who won the "Design the new uniform and win six boxes of Capri-Sun" contest. Thank you for your time. Mr. Alexander. Time to play ball Dream! CBFC ------------------
6. Like Phoenix is going to change their motion game and clear out for you, 7. Like Dallas is going to change their perimeter game and dump it into you, 8. Like Kobe would ever even look at you, 9. Everyone wants you for defense, and we have designed a defense around you. Just stay here. [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited January 20, 2001).]
10. The Houston fans are the only ones who won't laugh at you when inanimate objects, like the rim, block your dunks.
ROTFLOL!!!! hehehehhehehe! That´s gotta be the line of the year so far! ------------------ "Dream another dream, this dream is over... Dream another dream, this dream is over... Dream another dream..." - from the Van Halen song, "Dream Another Dream". Fitting, isn´t it?
heypee-there is one place he could go-I was able to work a trade with the Clippers for Kandi, Rooks, Strong, and Parks (and some of their cap space). But, he'd have to share with Odom and Miles. ------------------ The Serious Police are watching. Follow the rules or be assimilated. Shandon is underrated.
Ha ha! I never noticed that before. I better go edit that post. Typos really are a bcith! ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
DoD, You are selfish! And we all know that Crisco has never come up with anthing original. ------------------ EZLN
11. I'll be happy to grant your wish and waive you if you will waive the $8.1 million I owe you for the remainder of this season. Excuse me Hakeem, you mean to say you want me to waive you so you can possibly help another team beat us in the playoffs, (big assumption here), but you still want your $8 million from the rockets? ------------------
BRING ME BRIAN GRANT!!!! I LOVE BRIAN GRANT!!! HE'D BE A PERFECT STARTING CENTER FOR THE ROCKETS!!!! if we don't get any B.G.-honey in the deal, than I totaly agree with you CBFC. ------------------
As long as you agree to go on the injured list when you're not injured. And as long as it's okay that you only play 20 minutes a game and don't play in the 4th quarter. Correction: You ARE the Rockets. You put us on the map. You put the whole city of Houston on the professional sports map. However, if you say you don't want to play for us anymore because fans never show up for the games and we never play you in the 4th quarter, that's okay, because our current best player is famous for pitching fits, ripping other teams and cities, and his mastery of the "Canadian" language. Yet, we still welcome him with open arms! Well, acutally, we don't really play defense, we play offense. We like to isolate young 2nd round draft picks--you know, give them the ball, let them dribble around for 20 seconds, and then 'start the offense'. If you don't feel this kind of style is tailored to your strengths, that's okay, we've got guys like Matt Bullard that we can give obscene amounts of minutes to. ------------------ "I have to say, I don't understand why these Rockets' fans are booing Scottie." -Calvin Murphy Only on the Clutch BBS will you see Hakeem Olajuwon compared to Scottie Pippen.
Hey Doc didn't you copyright "MOFO" to? For crying out loud, let ME trademark something! ------------------ The Houston fans are the only ones who won't laugh at you when inanimate objects, like the rim, block your dunks. -heypartner in rare form! *Disclaimer* Inanimate objects like the rim blocking your shot are the property of Dr of Dunk and Crisco, and any use of these terms without the expressed consent of these two are STRICTLY prohibited!

Damn, I just ruined a sweet thread. Sorry CBFC. ------------------ "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain. Conspiracy theorists say this would explain why Hakeem has yet to be traded...
Dr of Dunk, Something you learned from Smeg or Cisco? Mango ------------------ <B>We neeed more threads about Dream!</B> Test Your NBA Trade Ideas 1. Put new topics in the proper forum. Things happening in the rest of the NBA 2. Use clear wording for new threads. 3. No duplicate threads 4. Conduct yourself as an adult. The Serious Police are watching. Donate Blood or be assimilated!
I absolutely agree 100 percent with this post. It couldn't be more accurate. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
He'd have to keep up with those two. ------------------ "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain. Conspiracy theorists say this would explain why Hakeem has yet to be traded...
I'd just like to take a moment to let the board know that the following 2 phrases (or any mutation of them): 1) Damn Lanky (as a reference to Dan Langhi) 2) Inanimate objects like the rim blocking your shot are copyrighted by my 1) Me and CriscoKidd and 2) Me. Quit using our lines without Espresso prior ridden consent (that the right phrase?)!!!! BTW, CBFC, great post especially #5. ------------------ "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain. Conspiracy theorists say this would explain why Hakeem has yet to be traded... [This message has been edited by Dr of Dunk (edited January 20, 2001).]
