    No not those kinds of stories, but maybe what goes on in the locker room, or rumors of trades etc....

    The chronicle is very PC...

    We could go for a complicated 4 way deal that nets us a star player but for this team the only deal that I think we need to do is...

    Battier/Cook

    For

    Camby

    We get size, rebound and a shot blocker and they get a vetern SF who they desperatly need as Thornton is struggle. The only issue is Shane's contract which expires in 2011, do they want to take on salary for 1 year?

    Ha! You're all wrong!

    The team has been playing better than anybody expected, which has interfered with our tanking strategy. We obviously need shorter bigs.

    In a related move, Chase Budinger has been assigned to sell hot dogs in one of the concession stands.

    DD wants stories about Adelman being caught with 2 kilos of cocaine and that's why he's so uptight to the media, or TMac in possession of Les Alexander pics in compromising positions. Anything to titillate his bored family man mind.

    Jesus...Camby was used as an example by Morey to illustrate how a player can inflate his own stats at the detriment of the team. Now, you may have a high opinion of Camby and you may or may not be right, but Morey, the man in charge, doesn't see him that way.

    I'm sick of hearing about Camby when it should be obvious he isn't walking through that door.

    You're probably right but darn his skill set is what this team needs. I had not realized that Morey had used him as an example for the type of player he WOULDNT aquire thus I agree we wont be seeing Camby in a Rox uni anytime soon.

    Heh...

    Nah, I just wish they would do more actual in depth stories, most of them are fluff pieces.

    They don't really even do reporting it's basically all common knowledge that even the average fan knows.

    The Chron is a horrible newspaper. Feigen is the only one I enjoy reading because all the others simply play off emotion or don't know squat (Justice).

    Don't get me wrong, I like both Feigen and Friedman...but they both write fluff pieces....

    And Feigen should be a bit more impartial.....

    But that is what you get when competition goes away...no more Houston Post.

    Does anyone think that the moves today screwed with the team a bit? They came out and just looked... wrong tonight.

    It is not that way in other cities, like NY, Chicago, Philly etc...

    They break trades and other news BEFORE they happen, not in Houston.

    No I don't think so to be honest the only time I was concerned throughout the game was half way through the 2nd until HT besides that the team looked fine. Honestly don't know if Pops would have helped or not but if they do bring in someone I hope its a big that can rebound and defend because its getting ugly.

    Any news on Sergio Llull?
    And what about McCants? Is he healthy enough to play?
