Rockets: has no shame

[Clipper Nation]

And this whole valued human beings bit is weak. It's not how it works in the corporate world. You are paid to produce. If you don't produce, you are fired. Doesn't matter how many kids you have to feed. The successful ones get the parties when they leave.

If you treat employees with options like , they will get fed up and not want to work for you anymore....

Why would any role player want to sign with Houston when they're going to be openly treated like used trash while overrated manchildren like Harden and Dwight are catered to?

[ambchang]

It is standard practice with every team in the NBA.

Every NBA team put up giant posters of free agents with jersey numbers of their current players? Could you give me one example for each and every team?

Scratch that, give me 16 teams (majority) that does this.

I have Houston, add 15 more.

I'm sure Lin will crying himself to sleep every night in his pool full of 15 million dollars next year. So much disrespect.

If begging is standard practice, why did you make fun of the Lakers for it when the Rockets do it more than anyone (Bosh, Dwight, Melo)?

[ambchang]

No, I was responding to the point that they treat their players like assets when they were more than ing loyal to often injured McGrady and Yao. It cannot be both ways.

What? TMac went to have surgery to botch a trade means the Rockets were loyal to their players? You really have to spell this thing out.

I will start this out for you:

The Rockets have shown that they were loyal to their players. One example was when they were planning to trade T-Mac for Carter, T-Mac announced that he was going to have surgery to botch the trade. This shows that the Rockets were loyal because .....

to play for Legend McHale

Lakers just did the same thing to Xavier Henry in their Carmelo presentation...

If the Rockets were actually contenders they'd be quite unlikable.

[POPownsJackson]

Aside from that hump Double A I like 'em.

Im glad we are getting rid of Lin, enough of the asian fanbase coddling. Canaan should have gotten his minutes as well as Troy Daniels

The Rockets are not the Lakers. The dont have 16 les. Houston is not LA. Lakers should just flaunt the trophies and never have to ask a player to come play there. It's not that hard to comprehend.

No. They were loyal to both of them by signing them to dumb extensions when neither proved they could stay healthy. Then when they had opportunities to trade them, they didn't even though they were still in suits.

Openly treated like trash? This isn't little league basketball. And it doesn't matter, the bottom line is whether or not one is productive.

This.

[Malik Hairston]

Apparently Lin was informed that they were going to use the number in the Carmelo presentation and he OK'd it, tbh..

I don't support Houston's begging or decision making, but I'm really tired of everybody defending/riding Lin at every moment..he's a ing 10th-15th man caliber player that has been built up because he's Asian..

[djohn2oo8]

Also, complaining about unprofessionalism in a billion dollar industry is lame as .

[Clipper Nation]

The Houston Beggars were disrespectfulPERIOD

Yet you defended The Decision which LeBron ted on an entire city on live tv. Pick a side.

Kang raised money for charity. The Beggars pissed off one of their players mid-begging.

Let us proceed....

LeBron didn't disrespect Cleveland? Since this whole topic is about disrespect, don't dodge the question.

[TDMVPDPOY]

gettin paid 15m, feels disrespected after fleecing that contract?

only wanker making it an issue are his fans....

[djohn2oo8]

Also, some of you were laughing hysterically when they gave Lin that contract. I guess they didn't respect him then either.

[RsxPiimp]

This.

Assuming that is true, it's an awful comparison. Henry is a FA, Lin is still on Houston's payroll
