OK. I think we can get Jalen Rose from Toronto for Juwon Howard or Mo Taylor. They are a very small team and need help in the inside. Also, if this doens't work, maybe we can involve a 3rd team to make it a 3 way deal. Jalen Rose is a tall pt guard who can score but thrives playing with star players.
We have to make a move for a point guard. We can't afford to wait on Sura to get healthy. He may never get back to a 100 percent. I didn't think his being out was such a big blow at the time but it sure looks it now. Search the NBDL. The waiver wire. Get KJ out of retirement. Call Matt Maloney. Something. We can't survive long with Lue and Ward.
Never been the biggest Jalen Rose fan but I think he may actually be an ok fit now. The problem is Jalen Rose's contract is ENORMOUS, if I remember correctly.
Jalen Rose former member of the underachieving Fab Five of Michigan, former teammate of underachievers Juwon Howard and Chris Webber, current teammate of underachieving Vince Carter, future teammate of underachieving Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady? NO. The Rockets should pass on him.
I thought about Jalen Rose also during the game the other night and I remembered he played point for the Pacers when they went to the Finals. I think he is a little too offensive minded to be the PG on the Rockets though. So, who does everyone feel the Rockets will pursue this season? There have been alot of reports saying that the team will make a move in this direction, but who is out there and is available to get that will make the Rockets better?
This thread is pure blasphemy on this BBS. Jalen Rose is the scrub who took out Mario Elie w/ a cheap shot foul in '96 when he was w/ Denver. We might have faired better against the Sonics and kept our championship squad for at least another season if not for this fool.
There's no way Toronto would do this. They don't need PFs. That's Bosh's natural position, and that's where they want him to play.
