    That threads hilarious.They think T-mac is a somebody and Manu is a nobody. How T-mac is Kobe worthy in trade value.

    Didn't think there were so many blind Houston fans.

    Guess they run those Adidas commercials a little too often up there.

    Seriously, you would be surprised how many times the knuckleheads here in Houston bring up the TMac-Kobe trade scenario as if it were straight up both in talent and salary cap.

    Of course, these are the same guys who call the sports radio shows 20 times a day to discuss passionately how Stevie Franchise is the one who can right all the Rockets' wrong, just provided he got the PT. Because remember how good he was 5 years ago? Remember?

    Hahahah, sandman. We went out to dinner tonight with a friend who is a Rockets fan, and he took a similar line.

    To be fair - he's fairly knowledgeable about basketball, and his argument was that Stevie F. had to be better than Rafer Alston.

    But yeah. Heh.

    If you listen to fans calling in, he was The Franchise, The Messiah and Jesus Shuttleworth all rolled into one. Of course last year they rode Bonzi's nuts, so I think there is some Doghouse Player Turns Savior obsession in this town.

    As luck would have it, I work with a Clark grad so we get each other's back when our boss starts dropping Rocket smack. It gets weak when the only thing they can come with is that their washed up once-was is better than their struggling never-been.

    that isn't a steep climb. beno is better than rafer alston. sam cassel is better than rafer alston. heck, i could name 20 point guards better than rafer alston.

    Maybe someone could spread the rumor that the Spurs are trading Vaginis back to the Rockets so Kill Bill will go bother them.

    Of course. But are you going to convince anyone that the reason your team is barely .500 when they were expected to battle for the West is because Rafer is starting instead of Stevie? Because essentially, this is what the fans are pointing to as the reason for all the struggling. Sad, but true.

    And being the front-running town that it is, now Houston fans have gotten off of TMac's knob like they sucked off a scab or something. Things turn mighty ugly mighty quick around these parts.

    the thing with the rockets is that they have failed to take advantage of their strength which is yao in the middle and they don't have a point guard that could convince mcgrady to give up the ball. people outside of houston has this perception about francis that once he gets the ball, he's gonna want to chuck it up himself. mcgrady would be more effective playing off the ball but the guard rotation has failed to convince him of that. compound it with the fact that yao, despite his size, is a weak defender, that mcgrady is made of glass and their most consistent player is battier who isn't franchise-material.

    "Houston, we have a problem."

    the majority of the threads on that forum are mostly whining Rocket fans who earlier this season were trolling everywhere claiming that this was their championship year. When their fans realize that they're still 3rd best in Texas and stop making like they're real rivals to us, then maybe I'll take them seriously.
    And no to the trade.

    poor rocket fan.

    still living on the fumes of 1995.

    little pecker hard because the 4 time nba champion spurs broke them off an average big for $7 mil in cap relief.

    you.

    trading manu for mcgrady would be worse than trading manu for bryant. neither scenario makes any sense, unless you believe the spurs need to gain cred with the east coast media in order to win a nba championship.

    Imagine facing Ginobili in the playoffs!

    No thanks.

    Actually Bruce on Manu would be quite the spectacle.

    Here's a real gem from that thread...not about Manu for T-Mac, but it deserves classic idiocy status...

    Yao is the gold mine and i can assure you 100% that we won´t trade him even if we are offered Howard, Stoudemire or even TD or KG.

    for stoudamire, maybe. no defense.
    for TD and KG, i can understand. they're both 31 and yao is 26 or sumthin.

    but howard? he's fool.

    T-mac is : offen injured, has talent, but a marketing product ...

    Manu is : a winner, a slasher, a mental toughness you do not meet offen in the nba, and one of the best 2Meters players in the world...

    You just don't trade Manu... he just don't need to fullfill stats to prove his greatness...
