    I was in favor of getting him before everyone noticed how good he really was. He was ignored to an amazing extent because of injury setbacks. Now after the finals, I have a feeling there will be a minor bidding war for him, so I'm no longer interested.

    If his name wasn't "Speedy" would anyone here care about him? He's very overrated.

    I was thinking about that too, but then I don't see it happening. Spurs is paying Parker like $1 mil a year, Gimnobli $800 K! There is no way Spurs will let either go.

    Where are the scouts for Rox? Find some good international players and sign them cheap!

    Two words for you: Magic Johnson.
    Man did that guy suck.
    (OK...looking for a sarcastic face :rolleyes: ...that should do it)
    Did this guy think this topic was about Reeshard Hidalgo or something?

    And who was dissin' Sleepy. That guy could fill up the bucket old school Rockets style.

    Bring in Speedy! That guy can play!

    Is he going to bring Tim Duncan along to get him a bucketload of open shots? Cause without Duncan, he, and every other spur on that roster is pretty worthless.



    P.S. - The fact that the Bulls consider Jamal Crawford so highly is a symptom of the reason why they're where they're at today.

    I'd rather have Tony Parker. It sucked that David Robinson would call out a teammate like that. Tony played well throughout the playoffs. He had to bad games after DRob ripped him a new one. Not cool!

    TP is and can be really good. He's only 21 after all. His BBall IQ is much much higher than francis at this point.

    speedy's an average pg at best. he is under sized, which causes match up problems, his jumper isn't consistent, and he isn't a good guy to have run the O.

    Speedy would be great for the Rockets, but he is going to be resigned by the Spurs.

    He is not selfish, he plays good defense, he is a crafty player, he is very quick, and HE DOES have a jumpshot...

    56% in playoffs!

    All the elements that Steve Francis doesn't have... Playoff Stats!
