Should not be on the team next year because his productivity is really starting to decline rapidly. But I'm all for The Rockets keeping him on staff as a Big Man coach if he would like that role.
Let’s judge him on the remainder of the playoffs before completely writing him off as a player, I know that he can help greatly against the David Wests of the world, and he’s one guy that many irritants wouldn’t dare irritate
He's under contract and will return. That isn't a bad thing. He will probably retire as a Rocket. That is a good thing.
Oh man. Nene has been so bad. It seems we always give up runs the moment he comes into the game. He just looks so slow out there. He looks done.
I don't want to start a thread since this little tidbit doesn't involve me, only a friend. So my friend Mo works out at the Cinco Ranch Lifetime Fitness damn near every day and today Nene strolled in. Of course, Mo got his autograph on his basketball and got a picture taken with him, and had a bit of a chat. Mo says Nene (obviously) couldn't specify, but a "huge announcement" is coming up for the Rockets. Take from that as you wish.
maybe nene lives near there and that gym is convenient, just wondering why he wouldn't go to the rockets facility instead. anyways, i can't imagine any huge announcement at this time to be something good :X
unless theres a more reliable/capable backup with the experience to go along with it, there's absolutely no reason why Nene shouldn't be on the roster.
Over the years I've seen other Rockets' players at a different Lifetime several times. For whatever reason, it happens.
i've heard about them going in the offseason, but i just find it strange a few days before a playoff series
I hope Tarik Black is on the playoff roster. If Clint gets into foul trouble the Rockets could split the minutes between Black and Nene. Whoever plays better can get more minutes.
I wonder if we have a verbal commitment from somebody already knocked out of the playoffs? Like Paul George?
I've seen Gordon at the gym the day before a game. He was working with someone he brought in (personal trainer or friend) solely on stretches. Maybe Nene just needed to hit the Sauna or stretch. I've seen Shaq stop by just to pickup food (or shake maybe) to go. I've seen Artest before games, I think he would just shoot around with his kids (or someones kids).
