but the most important thing is he HUSTLES, not only that, he has a knack for where the ball is going to come down and he just outfights the other team for it.

He's better than Milsap already, IMO he could be an All Star one day.


I'd say they're pretty similar, in regards to Millsap. Landry uses his athleticism much to his advantage whereas Millsap is more of a bruiser. I'd say both teams are happy with their respective player :D Personally I'll go with the younger one who's currently producing a little more.

The guy still needs to learn how to stay out of foul trouble. But other then that he is already showing lots of veteran qualities. Probably not an All Star, but certainly a solid starter who will thrive next to Yao for years.

Rookie Carl Landry is a restricted free agent next year. The rockets only offered him a one year deal.(which they no doubt regret deeply now)

How much do you think Landry is going to get this summer? Half of MLE?

Rockets homers are in full force these days. Some team needs to bring them down from their high horse.

Well to be fair, a Magic fan started the thread, and most Rockets fans acknowledged he's played well, and far from the next "big thing."

Not to say your a Lakers fan (because I have absolutely no idea), but if you are...pots and kettles.
