For those who may have wondered about him, I noticed in the NBDL Player Directory that Thomas Hamilton is playing with the Roanoke Dazzle. Let's trade Cato for Hamilton. At 360, Hamilton can play Shaq pound per pound.
This might be the forum where "<i>Hell, the slower people in the group can even talk about ex-Rocket Tracy Murray</i>," but dammit, if gordita talk is supposed to go in the hangout, so is talk of two sandwiches.
In his last game, big Thomas racked up 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks. http://www.nba.com/nbdl/games/20011120_ashroa_boxscore.html You may have a point though-- it would be hard to get worse than Cato!
Who you calling slow, Crispee? Just looking for bodies up front. By the way, did you hear Rudy's been having problems with Mario? And I hear there's been some tension between Clyde and Barkley, but I don't buy it.
Did you hear the rumor that Rockets PR came up with a JR Richard bloodclot scare to return fan favor to Dream after last year's money stand-off with Floyd Patterson?? I don't believe that one, either.
I can't believe they moved the Rockets to that po-dunk town Houston. Well, that fella Pat Riley looks exciting.
Personally, I think that the only thing standing in the way of Two Sandwiches having a great career is his weight and attitude. The natural talent is there.
Derrick Chevious was a steal at the #16 pick. I think he's gonna be better than Manning. In fact, I think he outplayed him in their college matchups. Horry over Minor? Oh boy. What is Rudy drinking.
Go two Sandwichs!! It was so much fun watching him play. He would beat on the poor, smaller, centers. i loved it.
I just saw my first game at the Summit last week. I love that place. I hope the Rockets stay there for many years and don't decide to build a new place like all of these other teams. Btw, have you seen that Vince Carter kid for Carolina? Man, he can jump. Old School
I was playing in this summer league and there was this kid TEARING the place up....His name was Bower....Bowey....Oh yeah, Sam Bowie....Man, for a teenager, that guy was TOP... The this little kid comes out says he can fly...Something Jordan, he called himself....Man, you should've SEEN Bowie ripping this big moth up... I think he's gonna add a new dimension when he joins the NBA in a few years when he's eligible... LOOK OUT NBA....I hope we have a high pick that year...*fingers crossed*
What's up with drafting that Tomjamovitch (sp?) fella at number 2? They should've let him go to the ABA. He'll never make it in this league, and I guarantee he won't see 1972 with the San Diego Rockets.
what the heck?!?...I can't get HSE!!! what happened? btw do you think this Cheivious fellow will pan out at the small forward position? I think he will solidify the position for years to come...
They list Hamilton as 7'1" / 345# on the Roanoke roster, The starting PF Lorenzo Coleman is listed at 7'1" & 300#. Coleman has college experience and was Roanoke's first supplemental draft pick. I wonder if there are any posters planning on attending a NBDL game? Roanoke will be on ESPN2 on Dec. 25th as well as Feb. 11th & Mar 4th of 2002. Maybe the NBDL is the solution for the Cato problem. It doesn't appear that the CBA prohibits the signing of NBDL players even if a team is over the cap. Denver signed Chris Andersen to a one year deal @ $291,704 and they are at $51.2m (RealGM).
I heard Lew Lloyd & Mitchell Wiggins were Lucas' best customers. I can't believe we're playing a bunch of crack addicts.
