Off topic but I can't' remember a time recently where Chuck ever mentions Scottie Pippen. The beef still going on?
Exactly so why do a buyout and give up an asset that we might need in the playoffs? Purely a $$$ saving move - let's try to win NOW. DD
Because he had the right to refuse the trade and now with a buyout he can sign with a team that he wants to play for.
I don't think he's going anywhere. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ty Lawson: “I like the city, I like my fans. I like my teammates. It’s a good fit.

Please be true. He doesn't seem like the kind to create any locker room problems or disrupt what little chemistry we may have. He's pretty much invisible it seems both on and off the court. Probably better that way until we actually need him which we will in the playoffs.
Well if he wants to be here his performance on the court needs to improve. He at least should be scoring 10 puts a game coming off the bench and running the offense when James needs a rest.

Pippin wasn't hated for his competitive drive. He was hated because he was full of crap. He came here, did less for the team than fat lazy Chuck, yet still threw his teammates under the bus when it was his play that was lacking. Add to that, after he left he claimed that he was the best guy on the Rockets and the only one who could really carry the team. That was when he was on the team with Hakeem Olajuwon. The hatred toward Pippen had nothing to do with a competitive attitude.
Come on man, as one of the 99ers here, it's my duty to fix your rockets history. Look at Clutch's tone here, usually Clutch is peaceful like the Buddha http://www.clutchfans.net/feature.cfm?FeatureID=27
JB rotations stink and hurt TY.... Ty is usually on the court with TJONES..BREWER...CAPELA...AND ARIZA or TERRY. thats just awful....Tjones = blackhole , Capela = Fumbles , Brewer = Slip and Slide ... TY works great when on court with combo of Dwight, Harrell, Ariza and Bev./ Terry He needs someone who can hit the corner 3....he needs big men who can catch his passes inside and finish.... that opens up his midrange and drives He also would do better if JB would play him more than 4 minutes at a time
Defend Barkley and hate Pippen all you want. Who was the one who ended up trashing this organization and all the cities he played for over and over again on national tv?
I feel bad for ty He was expecting a big 3 type thing but was given Brewer/thorton/jones/Capella We give him those players and expect him to still not drink
Dude, You weren't a Rockets fan at that time, you should listen to those who were. Barkley criticizing the organization on TV is not worse than paying a player the max salary to be your best player, then he forcing a trade after one year causing his trade value to be low and getting basically crap in return after getting owned in the first round of the playoffs if you truly believe that Barkley was a worse Rocket than Pippen, then I cannot call you a Rockets fan.
