He has been right before, he has also been wrong before, unless we do get Stephen Curry soon.

The rumors I had read had him not welcome back in Houston. Was that perception wrong and he'll be missed?

evil where in the world did you hear that?

The Rockets wanted him back for the minimum, but he didnt want the min. We got our MLE back and I guess they thought some of it was for them and I think the Rockets said no.

Could possibly be true. Morey didn't think he was worth more than the minimum. After that "incident" with coach Adelman, i was almost certain he's a goner. The guy is a headcase. Talented sure but a headcase.

Not a big lose there. Rockets need to make another move or two though just to make sure they make the playoffs. Especially with Suns looking better and better.

It's too bad he couldn't agree to a deal with Morey. But this is good for him. Playing alongside Nash in a high-paced offense might be the best fit for his game.

I wish him the best.

Totally agree. PHX is an excellent fit for him.

It's hard to find someone as exciting as him, but easy to find someone who can produce as much as he can.

P.S. "He's not a cookie He's not a cracker, He's a Waffer" Lmao

I hate that the Rockets are losing Von Wafer. I agree with most of the impressions shared here, but I think he's the kind of player a team needs coming off the bench. Given his relative youth and athleticism, I think he'll be missed.

Obviously, I can't say how much he's worth monetarily, but I wish he was staying with the Rockets.

They're remaking that?!?! You lie.... Are you serious? Who's gonna play Leroy? Yo that's my favorite movie of all time. When is it supposed to drop? Wow, Sam as the Shogun of Harlem.... Imagine the possibilities....

Yes sir!! I heard about this Months ago. The only confirmed actor is Samual L Jackson as the Shogun.. And there are rumblings of Rihanna as Vanity's character.. Who ever plays Leroy HAS TO DO HIS OWN MARTIAL ARTS thats what made the original so great. (one of the reasons) Micheal Jai White would be good simply because he can do stuff like that but he would have to loose alot of weight.. Probably a no name black martial artist as Leroy.. and what makes this even greater RZA is backing this movie! Afro samurai anyone.. anyone? this is going to be great..

I didn't mean to hijack the thread..

von filled in for tmac really good in january. his jumper is probably above average. good finisher and can rain 3s. he's not bad on defense too. i hate losing this guy.

but o well, in morey i trust and he bought 3 draft picks, 2 of them sgs, 3rd can play undersized sg. chase and taylor could end up being backup sg/sf.

with 70% tmac/shane ariza could play backup sg/sf all season, and maybe one of the rookies or white gets some minutes. ariza could be instant offense, especially if the lane isn't clogged w/ Yao and his defenders.

College Boy · Post #20 » by **College Boy** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:12 pm

Yeah he would have to lose a lot of weight. Plus he's not docile enough to play Leroy. Yo, shawty from vanity 6 was one of the baddest things moving at that time. This is gon be great! I need updates when you hear them.
