wooooow.... Im liking the rockets these days... stro, tmac, yao, wesley.... if they get stoudamire Im gonna love em'
He is willing to take the minimum to play for them, so it is just an offer away, an offer that is expected within 3-4 days!
I wish I had the LSU 'inside' info, that I have for houston... My brother (in Houston) has a good friend who works for the team, so I get all the lowdown on them
Stro is good pickup for the rockets...but it still doesn't solve their real problem at the guard position. Until they get a true Point Guard or more productive Shooting Guard,they will continue to play third fiddle to the Spurs and Mavs... Also, I wouldn't be pumped about signing Sprewell or Stoudameire. Stoudameire is way, way past his prime and Sprewell is a cancer.
I'm a pretty big Yao fan since I moved to Houston, but you know what Shaq Diesel would say to that. . It's only because there are 50 billion chinese voting online.
He turned down 48 Million last year with the Grizzlies... it was a 6 year deal worth 8 Million I believe..
From the Houston Chronicle: "Stoudamire, who earned $12.5 million last season, is expected to receive offers considerably larger than the Rockets', particularly from the Cavaliers, a team under the cap and looking for a point guard." Therefore, I don't see Stoudamire finding a home in Houston unless he doesn't care about payday.
Someone at an NBA message board attributed this quote to Stromile. "LSU didn't make me, I made LSU." Anyone know if this is something he would say? I hope not, I've always liked the guy, but if he really said that he is delusional.
Good news indeed. Many here in Houston think he's a great fit here. Of course, I love having a Tiger on the team as well. He left more money on the table to come here, too. Always want guys who want to win first on your team.
I don't know either way. What I do know is that I wouldn't trust a quote off of an NBA message board...
