    I just wanted to say that I'm glad we're not (at least I don't think) in the race to pick up all these old guys that want to make a comeback in the league.

    You know that if the old front office were here we'd be all over Allan Houston...

    Irrelevant. This thread is all about washed up old men.

    Atleast they could still walk. i'm still flabergasted how you didnt get banned for calling Rudy T a alcholic drunk. still amazes me. a cheap shot like that deserves a very sever response.

    I do not think it is irrelevant. These guys played for an actual NBA team 2 years ago and they were washed up players. It is just sad and that is what the poster is trying to say.

    no crap irrelevant...which is why i commented to the guy who made the comment about the guy who mentioned jvg.

    yet, you didnt replyu to him about irrelevants. :confused:


    I'm flabbergasted that stating a fact would be worthy of getting banned. It's ok to see someone as a human being that makes mistakes and has flaws, even though he happen to be coaching the rockets while they won their championships

    Donkey, his post -- JVG or not -- still talks 'bout washed up old men, whereas yours doesn't.

    Disparaging Rudy T is like spitting on the history and traditions held sacred in Rockets lore.

    DonkeyMagic, please remember that you don't need a wand to make an a$$ of yourself. If you don't believe this, then make like a tree and leaf.

    These guys have two things in common,they can shoot lights out...and are probably ready to be a role player on a contender for chump change.


    Remember...if you can do one thing well....

    Isn't Mutombo the oldest player in the NBA?

    And didn't we have Vin Baker on the Roster a while ago?

    Having one's head in the clouds is certainly better than sticking one's head in the dirt (entendre intended).
