I did about the same thing to my ankle that Pike did in June, and it is still not 100% healed. I am glad he has his ankle better, he would be a blessing on this team, now. Oh well, good luck Pike. DD
I wouldnt be suprised at all if he has a solid season. He is a great pure shooter and can put up some points. However im not concerned that we traded him. We gave up a bench player of value and got another one of value in return with Deke. Nice to see him doing well even if its not for us.
Here is the question, how many Rockets have actually gotten better after arriving from another team. I mean seriously. Compared to who has gotten worse.
Horry got worse. Shandon Anderson got worse. Rodderick Rhodes got worse Cassell went from the 6th man to all star. KT went from the fourth fiddle to a very solid contributer. So far Francis has been playing like an MVP (certaintly as well as B Davis did when he was getting the MVP hype early last year) Pippen got bettered, though his stats don't show it. James Posey was the go to guys at times last year for the Grizz.
