    He won't be specific about any deals I know this from past conversations. He will we are looking into possibilities etc etc but won't go into details if it involves another team. He is more giving with info when it comes to Rockets related moves (injury updates, development, rocket Free agents)

    And he probably wouldn't know about jerseys that is not his area that's more of a PR/marketing area

    May heaven (or something, somebody, even aliens from the Great Beyond) preserve us from that fate again!

    Moochie was actually pretty decent until he got rid of his hair.

    Orlando needs Gortat more than they need Von.

    Mooch was pretty decent until he got an absurd contract of rediculous length, causing him to coast while playing for the Rocks. I despise players that work for "that deal" they've been looking for their entire career and, upon getting it, feel like they've won the lottery and can kick back, instead of showing their gratitude by taking names and kicking a$$. The Mooch sat back and relished his good forture. The Rockets felt stabbed in the back. I sure as hell did. I really liked the guy. I really like Wafer, but I think He, and his agent, think he's worth far more than he's shown up until now, and we'd be crazy to repeat the mistakes of the past. He should take a contract commiserate with what he's shown us, and that includes showing us that he has severe limitations with his game, well documented, that need major, major work before getting a contract his agent, and some around here, believe he deserves right now.

    Second that. I'm not losing hope for Taylor though. Dude just recovered from hamstring injuries.
    I say we bring back Von within 2.5m per year. :cool:

    he might pick up courtney lee's minutes, but probably less b/c his defense isn't as good.

    had he stayed with us and mature, he most likely would get more minutes b/c we have a SG hole with the uncertainty of tracy and trade of ron. if i wanted to make a name for myself and "thrive," i would stay with right here.

    This just strikes me as odd. With his style of play, playing under a Van Gundy just seems like a career-killer.

    Real men are secure in their masculinity and don't need to say outwardly what is overwhelmingly evident.

    I am not sure if he would take Lee's minutes, with Hedo, the playmaker gone. Vince Carter, Rashard, and Von need alot of shots to be effective. Pietrus will suck up all the minutes, since he doesn't need the ball. Wafer might get 10-15 minutes as a spark.

    They just lost Lee and they probably want a similar young player to fill that role.

    I think they want a 'stretch the D 4; not a stretch the belt 4'. But I could be mistaken.

    Where did it say he is gone? And more to the serious point, the man needs to get paid. If some team will ante up then you can cry 'uncle' to his Rock career...
