The Rockets Scrub Thread

[madmax]

I am beginning a list of Rockets scrubs:

1. David Wesley
2. Juwan Howard
3. Moochie Norris
4. Ryan Bowen
5. Luther Head
6. Stromile Swift

I only believe there are 3 scrubs on the Rockets team:

1. David Wesley
2. Juwan Howard
3. Stromile Swift

Juwan and Wesley are the two biggest scrubs on the team. Need to unload these two at the end of the season for sure.

I think this thread should be called: "Which players to unload for next season?"

Here are my thoughts...

1. David Wesley: He is getting old and obsolete. His erradict shooting and inconsistent play will only hurt this team. Trade or let him go.

2. Juwan Howard: Same reasons as Wesley. Rockets need consistent players not your good today and horrible for the rest of the week. Trade him.

3. Chuck Hayes, Brunson, Bowen.. Are you kidding me? These are pro ball players? My concept is if you cannot shoot the ball, you should not be in the NBA.

4. Swift: Trade him period. Yeah highlights here and there but inconsistent play hurts this team.

5. Rafer Alston: Here is a question mark. If he can learn how to shoot on a consistent basis in the summer, then keep him. He is a good point guard overall, just need to learn how to shoot the ball and make the basket! Otherwise, get rid of him.

6. Bogans: ?? Not enough time to evaluate him but if we can get a better player by trading him with the above players, then go ahead.

7. Luther Head, Yao Ming, McGrady: Only ones that should stay on this team. They have shown they belong here on a consistent basis. McGrady needs to get some feng shui advice, Yao needs to work on his jump, and Head needs to learn not to make dumb mistakes.

SO that is my opinion about this team. The key is getting good shooters, not because they were good shooters (ie Wesley). We do not need old, worn out, used to be good players anymore (ie Howard). We need mid-level talent, and who can shoot the ball day in and day out.

Oh yeah, Coach Van Gundy needs to work on new offensive sets or something. Most of the NBA teams and the world have figured out what the Rockets are going to do day in and day out. If not, then this coach needs to go. I am tired of watching a boring, slow, grind it down to the minute games.. Take a hint Rocket Owner Alexander, Dallas, Phoenix all can have a full season of sellout crowds.. because they play EXCITING basketball!
