Tracy McGrady, if I recall correctly, averaged close to 40ppg his first 5 games in 2007. He finished with 21.6 PPG, his lowest in seven years. Even a sup-par high-school education should teach you not to draw conclusions from a small sample size. But again, I'm not disputing his average this season. I'm disputing your opinion of the trade as a "fact."
What opinion? Fact is Rudy is realllllllllly good and Battier is role player at best. If not worse. Bad trade. Simple. Let me break it down simpler for the folks. Battier old, best days gone, no score, no defend anymore Gay good, score alot more, assists, rebounds well, has lot of years left in him, possible franchise player in breakout season. Gay traded for Battier not good. 0-5.
I'm sure you're proud of yourself, and I'd definitely be willing to give you a sympathy five. But I must ask, did you even read my post? The first thing I wrote: Also, I must ask, do you have any idea of what you're talking about? The definition of planet changed, and with it Pluto's classification. We didn't discover anything new about Pluto itself. The definition of flat/round never changed, we discovered something new about the planet which revealed that it wasn't flat. Again, not shocking that you can't grasp this fundamental difference. But it was cute, like watching an infant trying to debate.
So its not round? Well never was a planet for that reason also. Since scientists never knew it wasnt round before it never was a planet by the old definition either if a planet had to be round.
Ok you are talking about Earth now.. Well round flat was a discovery yes but Pluto is not a planet by their definition by research of what classifies certain objects now as planets and as large objects orbiting the Sun. That didnt change the fact that it changes Pluto through discovery of these things scientifically. Therefore through their new knowledge of the universe Pluto was never a planet. Thus the reason for their new classification of it.
why is Cuttino coming back to the nba less of a GARM article than what hat Gay wore once for an hour. I mean, why don't we have Damon Stoudamire threads then? or Richard Jeffersons? give it up, people. get over it.
:grin: They are loving, caring, sweet, opposites of their father. Thankfully in every way. Well except for stubbornness..
hindsight.......might as well say we should've kept batum as well instead of trading for daunt greene
Why don't you bring up the one useless extra win that would have netted use Brandon Roy too? How many of us were on the McGrady/Yao ready to bring a championship to Houston wagon? No one could have predicted all the injuries to both players. Management was in "win now" mode. God let is rest. PLEASE.
Please get the facts straight. I'm going to make this easy for you to remember. If Battier wasn't available: WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY! WE WOULDN'T HAVE DRAFTED RUDY GAY!
Well i've heard enough from the child, so can i hear from the mother now? As an adult she should have better reasoning skills.
Rudy Gay is a chucker who doesn't win. I'm not saying Battier is an all star, but Rudy Gay will never play a major role on a winner. We wouldn't have taken him anyway (because as i said he's a loser). And now Memphis is stuck paying him big money for the forseeable future, Battier's contract is up after this year. With him Memphis has assured themselves of mediocrity, at best. And we sure could use him, because that's just what we need, more scorers who don't play defense. If we had him we could lose 135-128 every night.
Rudy Gay is selfish one-sided player. He would never developed in that kind of scorer around T-Mac. I'm really glad that we traded rights to his pick.
