Verajo is holding out and is probably available for trade

kurt thomas should have been signed to be a backup PF/C but I think a move for him mid season is still possible

Mike Bibby... Is that possible? what other PG's could be available?

There a championship caliver team falling short at PG and that needs just a little more depth at PF....they don't need a stud point guard... I'm just gonna have to hope they man up and make some moves

Doesn't Verajo want like 5years for 50mil or something though?

When he played 35+ mpg for the raptors he was putting up 20ppg/6apg.

Remember when Vin Baker was good, too? Yeah, me neither.

[ QUOTE ]
Last year he was only playing 25mpg and still getting 10/4.

[/ QUOTE ]

And why was he only playing 25 mpg? Oh yeah, because he was horrible and was losing his job on a horrendous team.

James is a backup. As a starter he's proved he's lol worthy.

[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Vyse, Im glad Ill be seeing more of you since its nba season now.

All Im saying is that I know what Alston can do on a nightly basis (nothing). How many Twolves games did you honestly watch last year? Im not saying James is a great player, but I think hes better than Alston. Id bet he'll be playing the most minutes at PG for the rockets (barring a PG trade) by mid season, JMO. Im sure youll quote this if Im wrong.

Maybe the season with the Raptors 2 years ago with the raptors was an abberation, but Alston has never put up those numbers.

Why the [censored] do the rockets want Varaejo anyways? We got Scola, might as well see if he pans out before way overpaying for a roleplayer? 5yrs/50mil is lol for him IMO.

Well I agree 100% Rafer Alston sucks hard. Either way you cut it you're going to have some suck on the floor. My post was simply meant to imply a straight split of 24/24 would be better because James is outclassed if his role grows too large, so if you just gave James the vast majority of Alston's minutes, you'd still run into a similar problem.

I think the Alston/James combo isn't as bad as people think. Also, I think everyone is forgetting they have Aaron Brooks on the bench who could, with time, be a good starter.

By april?

[onlinebeginner]

What about about that weird lookin alien guy who plays for the clippers?

sam cassel/mike james/luther head combo....raefer would probably have more value to the clippers and cassel more to the rockets

[Assani Fisher]

So I'm hearing the Rockets announcers for the first time ever that I can remember tonight....OMG they are huge homers when it comes to complaining about the refs. Almost ruins the game for me.

100,916 and counting

assani,

watch a celtics broadcast sometime.
