    agree,
    disagree( find me 5 other players that is paid less than him and shoots 3s at >35% and in the NBA defense team at least once in their career),
    disagree, ( if they are scrubs, rox is a scrub team as they are in the main rotation )
    not too sure,
    fully agree.

    Wade will be 29 in 2010-2011 season and one year away from 30.... and has had one healthy season in the last couple of years...so the rockets will probley only have one or two years before he starts to decline.... are you really willing to give him a max contract just for a couple of good years...

    P.S. tmac was 24 years old when we traded for him. :(

    I think a great trade for the Rockets would be one to do with the New Orleans Hornets. The Hornets are in a financial crapshoot right now and are looking for an economically friendly deal. A deal involving Mcgrady, Yao, Brooks and a future first round draft pick for Paul and Chandler would be a great idea. Sign Artest and Gortat if possible and you have a lineup like this:

    Starters: Backups:
    Paul Lowry
    Battier Taylor
    Artest White
    Scola Landry
    Chandler Gortat

    The backups can definently run with the ball. The starting lineup is as good as it gets.

    I think people just like saying, "Rubio..."

    This guy is supposed to be an impact player? I don't think it's going to happen next season. The Rockets could easily be BETTER next season without Yao if they spend their money wisely on the free agent market, make one great trade, and don't re-sign Ron Artest.

    Why do everybody want Ricky Rubio!?!

    He hasn't proven that he can play in the NBA AllStar Level. The only thing this kid can do is sell seats and merchandise. I'm sure he's not at a NBA level. He's probably going to average only 7 points this year
