- ihr größtes Talent ist ihre Erfahrung
- AD ist ebenfalls 30...also ein Schritt in die falschen Richtung , wenn man ihn verpflichten sollte
- das team ist ein Wrack, wenn man sich mal anschaut wieviel Verletzte es gibt
- die Rockets werden Not und Mühe haben im kommenden Jahr die Playoffs zu schaffen
-Teams wie Utah, Golden State, Clippers, Portland werden mit 7-meilestiefeln von hinten kommen
- was soll an Houston attraktiver sein, als in anderen Städten? die netten Öl-Raffenerien im Hafen, die fetten Menschen(hier leben die meisten dicken ammis laut statistik und das will schon was heissen!), ok es ist warm, aber das ist es in anderen Städten auch
- 10 Franchises die besser, talentierter sind: San Antonio, Detroit, Phoenix, Dallas, Denver, Chicago, Indiana, Miami, Sacramento, Seattle

Rockets director of player personnel Dennis Lindsey said on local 610 radio that the Rockets tried to move up, hinting it was to get local high school product Gerald Green.
"We were quite busy," said Lindsey. "We were aggressively trying to move up, offering multiple picks."
When asked who they were trying to acquire, Lindsey laughed.
"Well, there is a local guy who is pretty athletic," said Lindsey, referring to Green.
He also added that the selection of Luther Head at #24 will make more sense after the free agent period.
"You not only weigh in the draft who you can get in the draft, but you also weigh free agents and the trades you can make [afterwards]. We think as we move forward this move will make sense to the fans."
"Free agency is where we are going to make a major move. We have crystallized some of the things that we think we can do. The Head pick will make more sense as we piece our team together."
So A couple days ago, I was in Dallas, and at a local bar, I asked a man for directions. He gave them to me, a bit angrilly, and asked where I was from. I responded I was from Houston and he started to laugh... " too bad your team couldn't keep up... rockets had a chance but they were just sore loosers.. cry babies." At this I kinda tightened up and became a little angry. We startled to quarrel and the Dallas man said how "stupid" Mike James was for throwing that fit in game 7 (I do kinda agree with him here but I wasn't gonna let down...). The Dallas man said everyone who has bad tempers looses in life just like the Rockets did... and 3-4 minutes later the man took his drink and threw it right in my face... I kinda smiled and laughed and said "everyone who has bad tempers looses in life". I walked out.
Rockets drawing interest
High-priced free agents may visit with team

Beginning with the stroke of midnight, the Rockets found the offer of playing time in a frontcourt between Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady really would be viewed as attractive to free agents capable of earning more tangible rewards.
Forwards Antoine Walker, Stromile Swift and Bobby Simmons were interested in Houston as a possible free-agent destination, their agents said Friday, with each considering setting up visits to meet with Rockets officials next week.
Donyell Marshall also could be interested, but his agent Andy Miller said he had not discussed with Marshall the initial conversation with Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson and that as an 11-year veteran Marshall would likely not be making trips to visit interested teams.
Because the Rockets are over the salary cap, they can only offer the mid-level exception, expected to be worth roughly $5 million for the first season, barring a sign-and-trade arrangement. The free agents they initially reached out to could receive much larger offers, but each seemed open to considering the Rockets.
"Houston is a viable option," Miller said when asked about Marshall's and Swift's options. "Anytime you have a chance to be vying for a championship, you compare that to what the marketplace might bear."
Marshall plan
In 11 seasons, Marshall, 32, has averaged 12.4 points per game on 44-percent shooting, 35.4 percent from the 3-point arc. A 6-9 forward, he averaged 7.3 rebounds.
Swift, 25, has spent most of his five seasons with the Grizzlies playing behind Pau Gasol. He has averaged nine points on 46.8-percent shooting, and five rebounds in an average of 21 minutes per game.
Walker, 28, also seems likely to receive offers greater than the trade exception. He earned $14.6 million last season with the Hawks and Celtics.
Like Marshall, he would bring the shooting range to power forward that the Rockets have sought. In nine seasons, he has averaged 19.8 points on 41.5-percent shooting, 32.5 percent from the 3-point arc. He has averaged 8.6 rebounds.
"We talked in the middle of the night about Antoine," his agent Mark Bartelstein said.
"They could do a sign-and-trade. But I will say this, the Rockets are a great organization. They have a lot of great pieces. He sees Houston as a terrific young team with two great players. Antoine sees them as a championship-contending team, and he is looking for a chance to contend for championships. We may set something up next week."
Simmons improved
Though he is a small forward/shooting guard, the Rockets have shown interest in Simmons, voted the league's most improved player last season after averaging 16.4 points and 5.9 rebounds for the Clippers. Simmons made 46.6 percent of his shots and 43.5 percent of his 3-pointers. But he is a restricted free agent, allowing the Clippers to match offers and making a mid-level exception unlikely to be sufficient.
"We talked a couple times today, but there is a lot of interest in Bobby," Bartelstein said. "It would be tough (to get Simmons for the mid-level exception)."
Rockets show interest in Walker

On the first day of the NBA's free agent negotiating period, Houston emerged as a potential landing site for Antoine Walker [news].
According to sources, the Rockets contacted Walker's agent, Mark Bartelstein, and expressed interest in the power forward who returned to the Celtics in a trade this past February. Walker, in turn, showed interest in the Rockets and reportedly could be visiting Houston as early as next week.
Director of basketball operations Danny Ainge also contacted Bartelstein to reiterate the Celtics' interest in bringing back Walker. But assuming the Rockets are willing to spend their entire mid-level exception (approximately $5 million for one season), Walker could find Houston a more inviting option than the Celtics because of the Western Conference team's proximity to contending for a title.
