    Errr Scola wasn't here in the 06-07 season.. if he was Rockets woulda beaten the Jazz and gotten out of the first round that year.

    Instead we had Juwan and a first round exit..

    It was a steal, Scola is beast at times, but greatest ever?
    No.

    Scola is practically the main guy on this team right now, and they still suck.
    Not to be mean, but I think fans here overrate him.

    Scola must has to be the most overrated player on the Rockets. He's great on offense but doesn't guard his man and seems to not care about defense. He lets his player wide open so all these baskets he made don't count...

    Clyde was a gift from Portland with a very short expiring date.

    Grady, and attitude, forced a trade to Houston. He never got the Rockets out of the first round and his laundry list of injuries hampered the team more than it helped.

    Scola was a drop-dead gift from Bimbo Danny Ferry (Cavs) who was offered Scola first but past on him. One 2nd round appearance. Grade = Incomplete

    What becomes of Grady to the Knicks is TBD.

    My vote goes for Otis Thorpe for Rodney McCrea and Jim Petersen. Thorpe (in his prime) was a great compliment to Dream. Ironically, it was trading OT that brought Glyde to the Rox.

    they were not scrubs, but long time fans knew that steve francis was not all he was hyped up to be. he posted those stats because the offensive was based on him playing ISO.

    I still can't believe the Rockets got Maxwell for cash. This was the best $Ball move of all-time!

    This!
