    Not making it up. Why would I?

    Do not doubt my power. I have Doctor Rocket type power. lol



    OK ... I don't even know who he is, & I live here ... but yoos guys seem to like him.

    Anyway, the 3rd string sportscaster (a coincidence ?) here in Cleveland, mentioned 2-night that the Rockets are interested in obtaining him ... Ollie/Olly/Olive

    It was more of a story than a blurb. Complete with video footage of Ollie & everything.

    So there you go.

    Garbage. Ollie=moochie.

    CD cant be that dumb. I rather have ward than him.

    ALso i doubt we will get him b/c we are not siging anyone to long contract obviously and ollie has a long one.

    He's not that bad even though he is getting old. Was a big contributor to the Pacers a couple years ago as a defender and steady ballhandler. I'd still much rather sign M James though who's a much better shooter and playmaker.

    Yeah, I'd like James to be here. He's pretty solid.

    Anyone we get to play on the perimeter should be able to hit AT LEAST 33% of his 3pters.

    Agreed CD isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, giving up so much for Barkley, and trading Richard Jefferson away for Eddie Griffin. Besides, the Magic approached the Rockets for a trade. I think we got lucky that it actually went through and Weisbrod didn't renege on his promises. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I don't think that Ollie should be picked up with his long contract and his lack of shooting.

    Let's see if EG can be a point guard :)

    JK, but I still don't get why ppl know his outside shooting when bashing him.

    Insane head case, yes. Bad outside shooter, not exactly.

    CD's had some bad signings, but has he ever made a trade that really made you shake your head and say, "Gee, that was dumb"? Even in retrospect? (Pippen trade to Portland doesn't count)

    Some of the deals haven't worked out, but I don't think any of them were stupid trades.
