Spliff 2 My Lou

If indeed the Rockets are “significantly worse next season” it ain’t gonna be cause they lost Ron. I mean come on Ron was valuable on D and “helped” on O, but it ain’t like he was the end all. If anything it’s going to be due to losing Yao.

I appreciate Ron’s hustle plays, defense, 15 to 17 points but I won’t miss his jacking threes and ignoring other players so he can “create” lol.

I ain’t saying Ariza is the answer by no means and I have already said he is a poor man’s Ron Artest but I think he will fit in fine. The main thing is figuring out how to replace Yao’s 20 points.

@Kobeef:
“The Wolves blow a lottery pick on a guy who won’t help the team for 2 more years and you think this is a good idea…”

Remember David Robinson? Drafted in ’87, showed up in ’89. Just saying, as bad as the Rubio thing could’ve worked out for Minnesota, him staying in Spain for two years isn’t the worst scenario.

Is Dime one of the infamous New York Rumor mill now? Do they really want Rubio in NY to let their guy (Flynn) to thrive in MN and make NY relevant again. Is dime throwing one stone to kill two birds here? Just my two cents

For the Lakers now, they must absolutely try their best to keep Lamar…

If they were then to be able to pull off another great Pau Gasol-like coup (well, they are the Lakers anyway…) on free agent, Shawn Marion, then it will definitely look like a Fantasy team on defense (P.Gasol (on C), Lamar (on PF), Marion (on SF), Artest (on SG), Kobe (on PG))… Plain nightmares… lol

What I would pay to see Ariza next season, during a 20 point lashing, with the Rockets 10 and 41, sitting on the bench, wearing a BITCH ASSNESS shirt, timeless….
