    Van-Memphis got shafted. Wright is a decent player, but what are they going to do with Knight and Bibby? Trade one of them? Perhaps, but they won't get close to the value they are looking for...then again they didn't get much value for Rahim. I think we've just unearthed the Bulls of the West.

    So rocketpimp,

    A NBA team can't possible keep two point guards on their squad, right? [​IMG]

    Umm, why would you want to keep two starter quality PGs KBM?

    Why would the rockets ... First answer.

    An injury ... Second Answer.

    To play small ball ... Third Answer.

    So that bibby or knight don't have to play 40 plus minutes ... Forth Answer.

    The bottom line is that rocketpimp makes it sound like its against the very nature of the game to do so. That is absurd.

    KBM,

    Will you become a Memphis fan since they are now in your area?

    None of your answers make sense KBM because Bibby is going to play huge amounts of minutes anyway, you barely had a backup PG before! Brevin Knight is a starting quality PG. Either way it was an insane deal to dump Rahim and replace him with Lorenzen Wright, Brevin Knight and Shane Battier!

    Not if they make dumb moves like getting rid of bibby Mango. But to answer your question, yes and no. I am a rockets fan, like I was an oilers fan, but I can't lie and say I won't be a Memphis Express fan -- I will be. I love the city of memphis. I love it way more than I ever loved the city of houston. In fact, the only regret I had for leaving houston was not getting to see rockets games. Maybe I should change my moniker to part time Rockets fan / full time memphis fan. [​IMG]

    To others, who would of ever thunk that I would defend a team that traded bibby for jason "no shot" williams. I still don't understand that move. Do they think jason is a better PG than bibby? What is up?
