A couple of new developments




Espn is reporting that the Nets have interest in Luis Scola. How could they not be after the way he destroyed them for 44 points on the road last season. I don't know what you guys think about this but, maybe a sign and trade? Aaron Brooks and Scola for Devin Harris and Terrence Williams? Maybe later on trade Battier for a second rounder to make room for Williams to play? I don't know I'm just throwing that out there. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/17818/the-nets-plan-b

Another thing I saw was a four team deal where we would rid ourselves of Jared Jeffries and get Tyson Chandlerhttp://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/17823/can-miami-pull-off-beasley-trade

First one is a bad trade in my opinion

Scola and Brooks fit in way more here in Houston than Harris and Williams

by Dream94 on Jul 8, 2010 1:20 PM CDT reply actions  

yeah...battier for a first rounder maybe....

the guy is still close to an allstar in my book. last season’s injuries aside the guy is great for team chemistry and identity, good spot shooter and defense.

defense baby defense, got to have it, is hard to find players willing to commit to playing it, got to have it

sign miller and do the trade for Chandler

awesome…if Chandler is expiring anyway it is MUCH better than Jefferies…
but i still think signing miller helps as well with Chandler:
Miller is cheap and knows aldeman and can spread the floor…perfect for hunting LA

ok so i screwed up with the Harris thing

my bad i stand corrected

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

i think i can handle him

we are the same size and we both from the hood so it would be a great match

Lowry?

i think he meant Landry!

ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Roxbybirth on Jul 8, 2010 2:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

no...I meant Lowry....but Landry is just as good

both tough as nails…but of course if you get crushed by Landry we could call you the ultimate insult: a Dirk type flopper

by John P on Jul 8, 2010 2:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

now Landry would kick my ass for sure

but i would give him the fight of his life. I will not back down just like our Rockets team

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

the rockets were not afraid of anyone of the elite teams

thats y we beat most of them. they dont know fear so i compared that to me. dont take it the wrong way

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

lol..the way you put it...

it sounded like the exact opposite of what you meant

ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am totally with you on the Scola-Brooks proposal but really no on Jefferies for Chandler.
Chandler is not the best center out there but he has decent D, shot blocking etc…and can at least dunk the ball easily around the rim…Jefferies give us good D but that is all…and this way we still have Ariza and Battier…both of which I hope we keep

by John P on Jul 8, 2010 4:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

we

better do the chandler deal cuz if we do are only weak position would be SF.. i dont like the first deal at all

by Zukywich08 on Jul 8, 2010 4:59 PM CDT reply actions  

weak position is SF?

that might be the weakest link on the team if that happens but it damn sure isnt a weak position.

by vikesfan4lyf on Jul 9, 2010 8:20 AM CDT up reply actions  

With Battier,Ariza, and Bud

we are deep at the three, not weak. They all fit in well with our team.

by since86rocketsfan on Jul 8, 2010 5:02 PM CDT reply actions  

i see

bud as more of a 2 than 3 and battier is only good on defense and can sometimes knock down the 3.. ariza is really are only threat at both ends of the court

by Zukywich08 on Jul 8, 2010 5:07 PM CDT reply actions  

Bud does not guard

shooting guards well enough to play the two, and Taylor is Martins backup. Thays why they fit our team so well cause thats all we need Battier and Ariza to do,play good d and hit the open shot.

by since86rocketsfan on Jul 8, 2010 5:35 PM CDT reply actions  

we really dont have backups we have rotations

on paper we have backups but in the actual game bud will come in for martin sometimes while ariza or battier are in. sometimes ariza and battier are in when martin and bud sit down.

by vikesfan4lyf on Jul 9, 2010 8:21 AM CDT up reply actions  

bud cant

guard 2 or 3s.. and your saying bud is gonna back up shane who is gonna be backing up ariza? i highly doubt that cuz if thats the case he will barely see any playing time.. the reason he got playing time last season is cuz he would come in when kmart was out resting..it might say taylor is backing up kmart right now but thats not tgonna be the case

by Zukywich08 on Jul 8, 2010 6:50 PM CDT reply actions  

I still believe

Battier or Ariza will be traded. And Martin arrived with less then two months left in the season, so Bud was not backing him up for the majority of the season. Taylor is improving, and they will give him a chance, because our owner did not spend that money too draft him,to not give him a good chance.

by since86rocketsfan on Jul 9, 2010 10:09 AM CDT up reply actions  

taylor

is gonna be are 3rd SG unless he proves it otherwise..

by Zukywich08 on Jul 8, 2010 6:52 PM CDT reply actions  

jared jefferies

is another one of our SF.. i doubt they would have 4 SF and only 2 SG but it makes more sense to have 3 of each

by Zukywich08 on Jul 8, 2010 6:54 PM CDT reply actions  

Daryl Morey made it clear

Scola isnt going anywhere

Pitch him a front-loaded offer sheet at your own peril, he said. We’ll tie you up for a week, and you’ll end up with nothing.

Net will definitely back off

by NVP on Jul 8, 2010 7:05 PM CDT reply actions  

the only

reason we played jefferies at PF last year is cuz we didnt have any size.. JJ natural position is SF

by Zukywich08 on Jul 9, 2010 10:46 AM CDT reply actions  

you cant

say hes “not a small forward, not one bit” cuz he played some SF for us last year lol

by Zukywich08 on Jul 9, 2010 10:47 AM CDT reply actions  

he's 6'11"

thats not a true SF’s height.

by Michael S. on Jul 9, 2010 11:57 AM CDT up reply actions  

Mgaic

was 6’9’’ and thats not true PG height

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

by batman713 on Jul 9, 2010 12:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah

there are exceptions to everything but jeffries isn’t one of them

by Michael S. on Jul 9, 2010 1:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

he doesn't play like a PF

and you are what you play like and he plays like a SF. He just has PF size. Lebron is 6’8 260 and if you saw his size on paper you would automatically think PF until you see his style of play and that ultimately determines your true position. That doesn’t mean one can’t have the versatility to play another position.

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

by batman713 on Jul 9, 2010 1:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

We have no room at SF

So Jeffries is basically forced to play PF because of his size. Even if he plays it like a SF.

by Michael S. on Jul 9, 2010 1:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

exactly

thanx for making my point

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

by batman713 on Jul 9, 2010 7:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

relax

if you read further down you’ll see I admitted to my mistake.

by Michael S. on Jul 9, 2010 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

i saw that

my bad man

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

by batman713 on Jul 9, 2010 10:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

your height

doesnt make you your position.. jefferies even played SF for the knicks.. hes not really strong as a PF is suppose to be but he is real versitile for his size

by Zukywich08 on Jul 9, 2010 3:01 PM CDT reply actions  

thank u man

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

by batman713 on Jul 9, 2010 7:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

and michael

you pretty much just proved what i said earlier

by Zukywich08 on Jul 9, 2010 3:05 PM CDT reply actions  

Yeah

I did some more research and found that I was wrong. My bad haha

by Michael S. on Jul 9, 2010 3:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

its cool man

we all make mistakes lol.. i just heard the bobcats signed tyrus thomas to a 5 year deal worth alot of money so they shouldnt be looking to go after luis scola anymore thats a plus

by Zukywich08 on Jul 9, 2010 3:58 PM CDT reply actions  

But the Nets will go after him...

so its gonna cost the Rockets at least 8 Million a year to keep Scola….

by Texas08 on Jul 9, 2010 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

yea

but whats the deal with Lowry? He’s been quiet.

GO ROCKETS, GO TEXANS, GO ASTROS (EVEN THOUGH THEY SUCK)!!!

by batman713 on Jul 9, 2010 7:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Scola and Brooks are the two best players in that trade.

Also, Battier is worth more to us than a 2nd round pick. You’re crazy.

Did you know Eric Berry was asexually produced by Chuck Norris?
