    there is zero chance rashard lewis will come to houston. seattle both owns his rights and can pay him more money. this is a scam by the rockets, and their front-page lackeys, to trick you into believing they are doing something to improve the team. it must mean mobley is leaving.

    thanks hetero doxy for your conspiracy theory. While their is nearly no chance of us getting Rashard, it IS in fact possible, I give it a 5% chance. Never speak in absolutes. [​IMG]

    That damn resource file is translating my post in Greek. Let me try this again.

    The Rockets get a double whammy by asking Rashard to use the Raptors to force a Houston trade:

    The benefits are as follows:
    * It might actually work. Probability wise? Not very good. However, it is logistically possible. I for one, would rather have Rashard on the team than Cuttino.

    * The additional benefit would be to tie up the Raptors with a Lewis signing possibility. Reading the Toronto papers, it comes across that they would rather have Lewis than Cuttino anyway. Obviously, if Rashard signs with Toronto then Cuttino's options are narrowed... perhaps to at least allow the Rockets to sign & trade him somewhere (yeah right, the NBPA doesn't have an unofficial boycott on the Bulls).

    Fantastic Four #1. The Thing said it as the four of them realized they had to use their super powers to sell comic books -- er, I mean help humanity. And Thanos is from the Adam Warlock series, no? And "bizarro" is a reference to the Superman-woman-boy-girl-dog-transvestite universe. Have I stumbled on a comic book web site? [​IMG]

    As for Rashard Lewis, I'd love to have either him or Croshere, but I think the chances of getting either are about 0.1%. Mobley 50-50? That's a surprise, and, I hope, a smoke screen. I would love to see Bo Outlaw, but I doubt it. Orlando wants to keep him, and MUST since they didn't land Duncan. Perhaps we'll take a misguided chance on Danny "you've got 6 fouls, use them all in the first quarter" Fortson.

    Everybody see now why rebuilding takes more than one or two years?

    Somebody needs to spell it out for me beacuse Im still confused. Doesnt Pippen, Rice, and Abdur Rahim play in the west, not the east. I mean I realize two used to play in the East, but Abdur-Rahim never did. Is this the Bizzaro NBA?

    Bo Outlaw plays 5 for Orlando? I had thought he clocked most of his minutes at the 3 and 4. Seeing that both Hill and MacGrady are both 3s and are both looking to sign with The Magic, I would think that Bo is putting on his walking shoes.

    No kidding... Adam Warlock... dude had a big blister on his forehead, didn't he? [​IMG]

    I still have those comics.... several Adam Warlock ones and Silver Surfer ones. Didn't Galactus make Thanos one of his ho's for a while where he rode around on an asteroid? Yeah, I remember... man... I gotta go back and look at my comic collection...

    Talk about off-topic... I need to say 12 Hail Mangos for this offense. Yeesh.

    Mango, I must admitt, your policing skillz deserve major props. You must be making life much easier for the Admins, as your doing what they have to do, without the prestige and reputation that comes with being an admin. Either your a very courageous guy, or just a little mentally challenged. [​IMG] (j/k, I hope I don't have to pay for that comment)

    Uhhh... guys, what have you been smoking and where can i get some of it?

    LOL

    They play in the WEST. The Rockets belong to the western conference.

    So... our SF would matchup with these guys most of the regular season.

    Are you following me?

    Okay. Now, what i said, is that Rashard would matchup better with the SF guys than Croshere would with the PF´s.


    Yes, Thanos is from the Adam Warlock series.

    Everybody understands they play in the west. We are not smoking anything, but you must be on crack to keep missing your mistake. You said, and it was quoted twice..."the EASTS--that is the word we are confused by...east- the easts SF's like Pippen, RIce, and Abdur-Rahim. Obviously you know they play in the west, but it is kinda funny weve pointed it out to you more than once and you think were the ones on crack..haha

    Thanos,

    I will quote somebody from this thread:


    "Nice points. But what about match-ups?
    wouldn´t you agree that lewis would matchup better with the easts SF´s like Pippen, Rice, Abdur-Rahim and so on than Croshere would match up with Webber, Garnett and Duncan?

    Just food for thought.

    ------------------
    "Never underestimate the heart of a champion"

    "

    That poster said east and that caused the confusion because the small forwards mentioned play in the West.

    That poster needs to use an edit to correct the mistake and not ridicule others for catching his mistake.

    Until you can handle what is going on here, forget the comic book stuff. It is preferred that you leave the comic books out completely.

    Or he has waaaaay too much free time on his hands.

    Seriously, i guess i blew it this time around, but the smoking line was just a snappy remark, don't take it too seriously.

    I shall behave in the proper manner in the future.

    Now if you excuse me, i have some Jim Starlin reading to do.

    By the way, Langhi and Collier don't look so hot NOW, do they?

    Sure i have faith in rudy, but let's not forget he brought bryce drew and matt baloney onboard...

    Aren't comic books a little off topic? When did Collier and Langhi have anything to do with the Rockets interest in Rashard Lewis?

    Carry on.
