MARK BERMAN

HOUSTON - Free agent guard Von Wafer went from longshot to making the Houston Rockets roster last season to becoming what head coach Rick Adelman called, at one point, one of his most important offensive weapons coming off the bench.

I'M DISRESPECTFUL TO DIRT!! CAN YOU SEE THAT I AM SERIOUS?
GET OUT OF MY WAY, ALL OF YOU. THIS IS NO PLACE FOR LOAFERS. JOIN ME OR DIE. CAN YOU DO ANY LESS?

sadly, I agree

Von’s ego has gotten in the way of his long-term future.

NOMORE VON WAFER IN HOUSTON, DAMN WHATS GOING ON!!!!

I Know That Wafer Could Be Expendable, But You Just Let Him Go With No Consideration Not Even A MLE Or Nothing.
Now Come On !! This Is Why The Rockets Are In The Position They Are In At This Point.
Not Signing Enough Youth To Develope Into A True Team And Signing Old Broke Down Soap Horses That We As Fans Should As Soon Not Pay One Dollar To Watch Whats Coming. We Are About To Be The New L.A. Clippers Of The Southwest Division
And With No Center We Are The Laughing Talk Around The NBA .
Thats Why Alot Of Free Agents Turn Tail When They Hear The Rockets Are Calling
Von Wafer Had A Real Fan Base Here ,Now He’s Not Important Anymore.
Every Player We Lose Seems To Win Rings With Other Organizations.
Way To Go Rockets You Seem To Fuck Up Everytime When The People In This City Embraces The Young Talent That We Have And Support.
Only For You To Let Em Jump Ship And Come Clown Us In A New Team Uniform.
Iam Taking My Money To The NFL Because The NBA Really And Truly Sux…
Good Luck Von Wafer ,You Still Got Love From the People In This City Minus The Rockets.

Not to be rude

But what the hell was that diatribe about exactly? You say we’re signing old broke down soap horses, when we just signed a 24 year old up and comer. You say we’re going to be the new LA Clippers, whereas I’m fairly certain our current roster (sans Yao and Mcgrady) can and will beat the Clippers. You say because we have no center (our center is hurt just so you know) and then say that because of that we’re the “laughing talk” of the NBA. 1st of all, it’s laughing stock not laughing talk, and 2nd there are plenty of teams who don’t have a center. Besides why would we care if other teams think our lack of big men is laughable? Were the Blazers laughing when we only had Yao? Were the Lakers laughing when we lost Yao and we were starting Chuck Hayers? No they weren’t. I assume you’re a troll, but at least try not to come across quite this foolish next time.

All these boundaries - Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America - are set by men. But you don't have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man - at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader? -Hakeem Olajuwon

Low Tolerance

I just have a very low tolerance for idiocy. I couldn’t help it.

13 points in 39 seconds. Enough said.

Where will he go?

or rather, where do you NOT want him to go? I mean, wafer is a great offensive talent that needs to be cultured and controlled. And with morey and the coaching staff, they’ll be able to find some hidden talent everyone else missed…i mean, look at your bench, theres only 1 or 2 players that are unproductive.

Morey is very overrated

In one season Morey has let this team go down the shit hole.

by Dudeman on Jul 7, 2009 10:10 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I suppose

it’s Morey’s fault that our All Star Center’s foot isn’t healing? When you get lemons – make lemonaide.

As much as some people would like to think – Von Wafer is NOT a must sign player. He has terrible court vision, an injured back and (apparently) the ability to fly off the hinge and not listen to his coach.

hol on

“You say we’re going to be the new LA Clippers, whereas I’m fairly certain our current roster (sans Yao and Mcgrady) can and will beat the Clippers” Thats a bold one! I hope wat you say is true..But for some reason i think the Clips are gonna come out swingin. I want to see what A.I. is gonna do.
