    I will forever hate this guy for not coming early enough in his career to become DaDakota's favorite player and then flame out terribly.

    Look at this guy, acting as if he's the one who closes the door.

    No, Sergio, the Rockets are the one who closes the door on you.

    so we need to move "forward" from him?
    he is not a "big" need?

    Hope he retires a Rocket, since he will come here at the age to retire. Haha

    i want EGO on the team. i'm just looking at what the front office has done this summer and trying to understand the logic. rivers, westbrook and possibly mclemore all acquired/resigned and all similar in role to EGO. just seems like they know they aren't going to be able to keep EGO at a salary number that keeps them below the taxline going forward, and are preparing for that

    Sure then he should stay there and live content with that decision. Saying he wants consider moving to the nba makes him look like he’s the one not happy with his decision. If he’s having second thoughts then he chose poorly

    I mean....., Prigioni played til he was like 55..... He was probably 45 when he played for us and we all kinda loved him.

    I don't think that's the case at all …

    Maybe its a simple case of he's accomplished everything he can there and its time for a new challenge. That doesn't have to mean he has second thoughts about the past - Just looking to a new future.

    His decision though was to give his best prime years in the euro league. If he wanted a new challenge he did it backwards. There’s no place for him to thrive at his age in the nba anymore. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. He chose to give his best to the euroleague. That’s fine....finish there. The only challenge he can get in the nba is to find 3rd string minutes.

    Not saying I think Llull is coming, but this time it isn't that. The only reason it's a story today is because a Spanish reporter asked Llull about it, and he decided to respond in this way. Definitely a little different than his "I plan to retire here" quotes from a year ago.

    I’m not saying he couldn’t be good [ive seen highlights some really cool plays ]

    But his stats look very basic to me

    He did it backwards according to you ….

    If he was happy , what does it matter to anyone else ? Being happy in life is all that really matters.

    As far as what he could do in the NBA ? I suspect he could start on a few teams and be a quality sub on a few contenders.

    Look at what Prigioni did late in his career … He didn't come to the NBA until he was 35 but he did make an impact and contributed to a contender.

    I hope PJ knock his azz down in FIBA Basketball next month and show him what's what.

    He ain't man enough to play for the Rockets and the NBA. He ain't no Pat Bev USA built tough

    Stop teasing this man. He already had to chase Melo 3 times

    Llull pre-injury I would argue was better than Bev. Have not watched him play recently though.

    He is like Bosh. He will never, ever sign with the Rockets.
