What are the other teams saying??

Well, you could just go visit their boards, like dallas-mavs.com or spursreport.com or visit a national board like espn or realgm. I'm not a big fan of visiting another board unless we just made a trade with that team. So all I know is that the Spurs are split into "incredibly pissed" and "Houston aren't contenders with him anyway" groups in regards to the Scola trade.

 

Grapes from SA are incredibly sore anyways.
lets face it.

 

I'd like to post what I read from jazzfanz, but its mostly DaDakota.

 

alot of ppl on psd seem to think we are no better than denver or utah but most of them are upset laker fans

 

Spurs fans are haters,

When we got Scola, "Scola is a bust".

When we got SF , "negates all positives of Scola accquiration."

 

that was really funny.

 

Their nuts are sore from Morey's boot in their crotch. The grapes of Rockets wrath, as it were. Sour describes the mood of Spurs fans as they watch the great power rising from down I-10.

 

Just read this on Mavs forum.

That's a bold statement, we've been thinking like that about the Mavs for a few years now.

This makes me grin from cheek to cheek.

 

Hopefully that "deepness" people are talking about is deepness inside the playoffs.. deep bench won't do us good if we get knocked out like the Mavs last season.

 

nice ...wish the mavs feel free to become a constant good-never-achieve team .

Why do i hate them.....

 

You missed this one:

indeed.

 

i was teasing my Spurs friend about the VSpan trade when it went down, and here's what he had to say:

"We don't want VSpan, we don't want Scola... we just want roster spots for Ian Mahinmi and our other Euros. Scola is a problem-child waiting to happen - a real locker room pleasure from what I hear, so have fun while he tears your team apart."

 

That contradicts everything that I have read about Scola. Youre friend is just bitter or doesnt really know what he is talking about.

 

I dont see ANY of these recent moves as a bad one AT ALL.

Other fans say "Francis will ruin chemistry...too many point guards, Scola will be a bust, they took Butler's contract, it's just summer ball....Brooks will come up short 'pun intended' he's wack."

I'd agree with everything if we gave up Battier for Scola...if Butler wasn't 22.....if we signed Francis to the full MLE ...and if Brooks was selected at the 15th pick of the draft.

Ask ANY Spurs, Mavs, Laker, Jazz fan...

would you trade....
a retiring player, a 2nd rounder, and cash
for
argueably the best PF outside the NBA (Scola), young backup center (Butler), and the most feel-good story of the year (Francis)?

Tell those fans to keep in mind you might be able to get Haslem and Doleac or Jeff Foster for Rafer Alston and maybe Luther Head. Also, you can get an even BETTER 2nd rounder than the one you give up by trading Lucas III to New Orleans for their 2nd round pick.

I guarantee you, they'd be all over it.

To the media/fans that see the recent events as a negative, LOOK AT WHAT THE ROCKETS GAVE UP....
I would trade my current car and cash for a used ferrari without the CARFAX report any day of the week!

What is there to worry about? If all are busts, they're contracts are easily moveable. Not too mention how deep the Rockets are now.

 

Kings site, interesting read:

Those King fans are generally nice. Nice read and they know how good we are.

 

wow just looked at the kings boards. From what I saw, the kings have some very classy fans unlike some teams fans... cough...jazz....cough. (and Im not just saying that because they had positve things to say about the rockets)

 

Come on guys, lets be real. Those guys are nice because we have no great rivalry with them. What if the Lakers were making all these moves, you think they would be this nice?
