wow we traded our useless liables for a much needed backup center. Pike =too slow, griffin= fragile kneecaps , wilks=nbdl undersized pg. This is great news ..do u guys know how the twin towers won it for the spurs now the twin towers +tmac would bring the trophy back to the rockets again! Deke may be OLD but he's still a 7ft established shotblocker!
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Actually how old is the guy? I wanna see if we could keep him for another few seasons...Deke that is</div> He's listed at 38, but people say he's 44. He "lost" his birth certificate, so nobody really knows. I hope the Rockets dont give him an extension, until next year. We should keep feeding him 1 year deals, until he begins to be bad. I like the fact that he is in a contract year, he's gonna wanna push himself to do good.
I think when you grow up in Africa, it's very difficult to keep track of how old you are. Without calendars, or tv dates, you don't even know when your birthday will be. Does anybody know how they came up with the number 38? Mutombo played pretty well last season and handled the starting job, i think he'll fit even better as a backup, he'll have more energy and provide some good defense, rebounding, and shotblocking.
Does anybody also think that we should trade dik with a younger man while we still can since dik has a couple of productive years left in him and therefore next year dik wouldnt b tradable anymore..such as chandler,etc and we could add in lue and gaines into the trade. Nevertheless, I think our current team would go far into the playoffs
