Would the honorable fans of Houston make this trade w/OKC?

KD_Stan · Post #1 » by **KD_Stan** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 7:49 pm

Nick Collison
Earl Watson ($6 mill expiring after next season, and he can be a good backup PG)

for

Hayes or Landry
filler

BTW, which one of the two is better, landry or hayes? how do their games differ? Please educate me

Thanks in advance to you glorious fans of the rockets hailing from the elite city of Houston

Hayes got no offfensive game whatsoever
think of him as Ben Wallace without the blockshot

We got two good backup PGs at this moment, we don't need another one
I'll take Collison, but I don't think you guys are willing to take Hayes and Head for that

There is really no use for either players, due to Watson sucking and Collison won't get much minutes, or does he play C?

Well collison TECHNICALLY does play C, but at the end of the day he is just a slow PF masquerading as a C because OKC has no one else to play that position

Don't feel bad. 65% of the people here actually wanted to trade Alston for Watson 2 years ago.

actully watson is a pretty solid player

but, we have a bench full of solid players

KD_Stan · Post #10 » by **KD_Stan** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 10:00 pm

Actually he is far from solid. He truly does suck.

And LOL @ your sig

Morey probably would make this trade.

Collison has a bad contract, but he would give us a player with some size, unlike Hayes.

Watson can be traded

didn't Collison hurt Yao once during a game?

I would trade Hayes for Collison if his contract wasn't so bad..I wouldn't care about taking on Watson..just let him expire

But really, who's the filler gonna be? Hayes only makes around 1.7 mill/year. Rockets won't be able to work around the salaries without giving up a more significant player. Unless you guys want to take on Tmac and give us some more pieces back

PocketRockets · Post #17 » by **PocketRockets** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 6:55 am

Watson has that face that brings bad vibes...must be an asian superstition thing, but I detest players like that. Almost as much as players with low bball IQ like our boy wafer. I love the guy but damn....he needs to think a little sometimes, esp. with clock management and shot selection.

G-Heel · Post #18 » by **G-Heel** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 4:24 pm

If OKC need to get rid of Collison and Watson so bad.. maybe they can do a trade with T-Mac for Collison, Watson, and some fillers like Durant, Green, and Westbrook (works in trade checker). joking aside, I don't see anyone on Houston that OKC needs, which are young guys for their core. Looking at OKC roster, no wonder Durant can't get them any wins, beside Green and Westbrook, everyone else are scrubs.

G-Heel,

Not onnly is KD surrounded by filth, but our (OKC's) deep dark secret is this: though his image around the league is that he is an up and coming star, westbrook is I believe the biggest reason we suck. He is the worst starting PG in the league in terms of facilitating an offense and running a team. He is absolutely out of control. When you're a young team, the one area you have no room for such horrible play is at PG, and unfortunately thats what we're dealing with.
