Decommissioned Rockets: The guys who used to be here!

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Mon Nov 5, 2012 3:22 am

Had a few requests for a topic like this. With a completely remade roster there are a ton of recent, former Rockets all over the NBA right now playing some nice ball!

Kyle Lowry, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, Carl Landry, Shane Battier, Chase Budinger, Chuck Hayes, Marcus Camby, Kevin Martin, etc.

Lots of guys we cheered for for years! I'm hoping that they all find success whenever they aren't playing the Rockets.

So far, Kyle seems to be beasting up in Canada!

No love for Aaron Brooks. It's almost like he never existed.

im the only one who still likes aaron brooks? he's my starting pg in 2k11 (will get 2k13 jan/feb) and a top 5 pg in that league. that ddue is a straiit up baller. representing for us short pple. a laker killer, 3pt drainer. im too tire and lazy to type everything, so w/e, but im disappointed in yall.

i remember his 2nd season. so effin relieved we gotta pg who could hit wide open shots. the season after got the nod for starting pg and he delivered. after that season manu ginobli put a screeching halt in his career. end of first half brooks goes for a half court shot, but manu thought it'd be a good idea to flop at halfcourt. what a **** ***. you sposed to contest the shot asswipe :angry:

Johnny Flynn is comin' to Australia!!!!!!!!

Really, i'm not that excited. I don't give a rats about the NBL. I'm like a jaded Sonics fan when it comes to Australian basketball.

I wonder what Kelvin Cato is doing right now, Moochie Norris........ But I think this thread is meant to be for former Rockets STILL in the NBA.

What can I say, Mandry is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!! Have I said that before?

noticed Dragic is spelling his name differently on his Suns jersey now with an accent mark on the c.

What a high maintenance guy. No wonder Morey dropped him.

^^ Nothing wrong with trying to spell the man's name right. cmon TMU

You guys mention Camby, Thabeet, Dalembert WTF what they do for us!

I see your Aaron Brooks and raise you a McGrady!

Hopefully we get to see Brooks torch the Lakers some more and McGrady gets what he wants most... media attention.

Also Lowry > All past Rockets, minus our legends

Cuttino had some heart issues and was forced to retire in 2009-2010.
Steve played for the CBA for about 12 minutes in 2010 and is occasionally seen attending Rockets games.

Lowry got hurt tonight. Sounds like it might be bad.

I hope that it is not too serious. Will always be a Lowry fan.

Thabeet & Martin doing work
Dragic & Scola doing well

Brooks & Hayes.... not so much
