Von Wafer mad about Rockets drafting two SG's via Twitter

Roster spots are earned not given. He needs to grow a pair.

 

Come on now... that's not nice

 

thats definitely not him

 

He seems motivated to continue playing hard and climbing up the depth chart even though he will get a decent contract this summer. I would love to keep him at a reasonable price.

 

Haha, I understand Von's response, but from a business standpoint Morey did the right thing as well.

Either Von mans up and uses this to motivate him to get better or lets it destroy his focus.

If it's the former I hope we resign him, maybe by Morey showing Von's tweet to other GMs around the league to drive down his price. If not, we could use his help, but we don't need him.

 

I doubt that's really him....

 

What a dumb, goofy thing to say...

I think you might be right...

 

forget wafer use the money to get a backup C... like Gortat, Zaza, WIlcox... or Rasheed Wallace (longshot)

 

im going to go out on a limb and say...

thats not von wafer's twitter, thats an impostor.

 

BWAHAHAHA! Yeah, I going to go out on a limb and say that's not really him either. I love Wafer and all but a starter?

 

I agree that has to be fake, wouldn't the Rockets have him as a follower like Ron Artest is. It's sad that someone is so bored that they have to make fake twitter accounts using celebrities, and I think Von is smart enough, that if he is upset about the situation, he would keep it to himself and not address it publicly.

 

OP prolly created that twitter account, haha.. It's always the usual suspect. Who else would make such random comments

 

Doesn't sound like him,but who knows?

 

I'd say he already earned one last season. His feelings are understandable, how would you feel if you went to work one day the month before you asked for a raise and your boss gleefully introduced you to two "interns" who will basically do the same thing as you?

Of course purely as a fan nothing would make me happier than to sign Von to a minimum deal for the next 10 years, but at the same time I think people need to get off their high horses here. These players are just like you and me, trying to their money to feed their family...

 

Even if it isn't him, this is a NATURAL response.

In fact when teams usually do this, they inform the current player "Hey, your spot is safe on this team. This just insurance...at the same time if they prove they are better, they will earn their minutes."

Von will know if they really want him when negotiations start.

 

I also believe it's a fake. It says he only has 41 followers and 0 friends

 

Gotta be a fake... So dumb.

 

That could have been posted by a 7 Year Old and no one here would know the difference.

 

I'm about to close this thread because I have no idea if this is Von's site or not. Do the Rockets have a list of valid player Twitter id's? I saw that the Suns had one.
