    Mike James = Mad Max without the felonies, fan punching and dumbell throwing and more accurate shooting.

    Rafer Alston = Kenny Smith without a jumper

    Houston got screwed. It's not about just Mike James being better than Rafer anymore, which should really be obvious by now.

    Now its more about getting STUCK with rafer's contract for next couple years. If Mikes James caused any trouble or was asking for outrageous amount of money we could just let him walk at end of this season and end of story.

    Rafer, on the other hand, will be sucking Houston dry for next few years, along with his other buddy Juwan.

    There is no way ZERO, that we can get terry, #1 why would dallas let him go, he is a big piece or their team
    #2 why would he want to come here, if he decide to leave the mavs it would be to get more money, and there is no way houston can offer what other teams would offer him.

    That is such an overexaggeration. Rafer's contract is less than what Moochie made last year. His salary is very reasonable for an established vet that brings what he brings.

    I agree, the chances are slim the rockets can aquire him even though hes a free agent at the end of the year as he most likely will command atleast 7million a year. Zero however is an exxageration. Anyways I was merely joking around and replying to Micheon's comment about some ppl reaction aquiring Jterry. I thought I made that somewhat obvious with the :D but I guess not.

    Oh and not that it matters, but alot of Dallas fans maybe even 40% at their forum seem to think JTerry is not worth resigning for 7+million a year.

    Rafer has his moments. He's not as bad as... let's say... Moochie.

    You know your PG sucks when Moochie becomes a measuring stick to compare him.
