Wrong again. You really need to back away from the keyboard. We agreed on McGrady. You even said you thought i was a McGrady fan until I agreed with you on him. It's at the top of this page. You're having an e-meltdown bro. Just to clarify the points I've made: 1) Artest doesn't fit in our offense 2) I don't criticize Morey because it was a good gamble 3) I think we should use Artest in a sign and trade 4) Artest's game is clearly diminishing 5) Artest takes poor shots, can't dribble or create for his teammates 6) His defense is overrated 7) He was brought in to be a scorer as well as a defender 8) He just didn't step up when we needed him 9) He's not worth 21-24 million for 3 years 10) I want TMac gone and believe he already is 11) Good defense against LBJ and an Ok series against Portland doesn't validate your argument 12) Ron's a good enforcer not worth anymore then the MLE. 13) Just because people don't agree with you doesn't make them any less of a Rockets fan then you. 14) Your thread has two stars. Obviously, a lot of people disagree with your point of view. You're certainly entitled to it, but to condemn others because they don't agree on Artest is pretty narrow minded I think that covers it for now
I love Ron ron because he's willing to donate his entire salary to keep his coach and his teammate and even threaten to kill him if he didn't stay
I actually support Battier. He's a team player. That last statement is ignorant. I supported the Donte Greene for Artest trade. I still do. That doesn't mean want to sign Artest to an extention. You have a hard time grasping this don't you
You are the one who has a hard time grasping what the subject of this thread is. Can you tell me what it is? Is it: 1. Why do you love Ron Artest? or 2. Why do you want Ron Artest to sign an extension? Dude you need a discount coupon to Kaplan to help you on your PSATs? The subject of this thread is what? 1.contract 2.love
Already graduated. Thanks for the offer though. You're all over the place honestly. I answered your question. You still can't address any of my points. I gave you like 14. I'm not trying to hijack your thread. However, I seem to be the only one even remotely interested in it. I was hoping for an intelligent discussion from someone on the other side of the coin when it comes to Ron. Apparently, I should have looked elsewhere
you did hijack this thread, people were posting why they love Ron. Then you threw a beer on this thread from the stands. you can start your own thread. you know: why I want Ron Artest off the team now or how about Ron Artest sucks
That's why your thread has two stars right? Gotcha. I don't want to bring back Ron unless it's for the MLE. I never said Artest sucks. Keep dodging every point I make.
Battier signed a 6-year contract worth $36,800,000.00 on Jul 15, 2004. Will be a free Agent in 2011. This is for SHANES INTANGIBLES I think RON'S INTANGIBLES are just as important . . if not moreso I think as a Tandem they are great In todays market . . . Battier Would command 8 mill easily Rocket River
Every point you make is why you hate Ron Artest, last time I checked "Ron's defense is overrated" is not on that list of choices that I made. Ask LeBron James if Ron's defense is overrated.
I respectively disagree. I also don't think Battier would command 8 million per year in todays market. Probably just over the MLE. It's going to be a real wake up call for second tier FA's in the next two years
Next time I talk to LeBron I'll ask him, lol. I never said I "hate Ron Artest." Show me where I said that please. You keep making things up and just completely avoiding any points I've made. Since Rocket River has joined the debate, I think i can count on him for intelligent discussion.
Battier >>>> Artest..... He is smarter, plays just as tough and within the offense, and defensively he is better..... Ron is in decline and you just can not trust the guy.....I am sorry RR, but he is gonna want more money than he is worth.. Thank GOD Morey is in charge, he will look at him like he should....as an asset....that is better as a trading chip... The only thing I might do, is offer him a 1 year deal for $8 million, but anything more than that is nuts...he is just not worth it. DD
I've had about enough of this "no homo" stuff. If you say you "love" a player, no one on this board is gonna think that you've wallpapered your bedroom with glamour shots of said Rockets player and fantasize about him each night when you go to bed, like it's 1997 and you're a teenage girl who just saw Titanic for the first time. We'll just go ahead and operate on the assumption that if you say you "love" a member of the Rockets, it's platonic at most. And if it isn't... well, that's discussion fodder for another kind of message board entirely.
Folx think they have a recipe for a Championship just add water just get 7~8 guys shooting over 45 percent averaging over 6 assists per game Averaging 6~10 rebounds a game and commit no turnovers just add water. .or G[atorade] BOOM instant championship Rocket River
