Five should not be let go players in Rockets
Monday, June 29th, 2009 
What all bosses of
NBA teams want is not the gold O’Brien Cup, but the great commercial value they
can get, so the players in team are like a mechine in hands of boss. Provided
the player had no potential value to the boss, he would fired heartlessly. While
Rockets is always making some unbelievable player changing, retrospect the
history of Rockets, the excellent players which has been let go from Rockets
are numerous. If there is no those stupid trade, maybe Rockets have got three
champion cup.
Robert Horry, a
important alternate in Rockets’ two victories, this is a
player borned for playoff games, he is the only player in history which can get
500 key pass, 200 blocking and 200 stealing in playoff games, he is also the record holder of 3
scores hit in Finals, no one knows how many power does this man have, because
he always gives a big shot to opponent in moment of truth, so “Mr.big
shot” becomes his another name. In 1996, Rockets made a decision which regret
for life. They used Horry and Cassel to exchange Charles Barkley. Afterwards, Horry’s every miracle performance
has no connection with Rockets at last, they only can watch his excellent
player gaining scores for other team, and after exchanging, Barkley doesn’t
contribute a lot.
Sam Cassell, his
appearance is as ugly as the famous movie star ET. Fans all call him ET, ET
gains two champion rings in Rockets in his beginning of NBA, which also piles
up precious playoff games experience, his precise jump shot, good key pass,
which is the same as his appearance has deadly shot. However, when the ET has
grow up in skills. Rockets using him and Horry and other four players to
exchange a Charles Barkley. Now ET is one of the three
hackbuteers in Bucks.
Richard Jefferson,
he is an important person in Nets, his dunk skill is not bad comparing with Carter.
The 2.01m height, Jefferson is famous for his super bounce ability. In the
talents selection of 2001, Eddie Griffin is got by Nets as the seventh new
star, Rockets sacrificed his Richard Jefferson, Lance Armstrong and Jason Collins to exchange Griffin. Even though Griffin’s performance is
almost ok, after the leaving of Jefferson, Rockets doesn’t train well Griffin,
which causes double lose for Rockets.
Rudy Gay, the
situation of Gay is nearly similar as Jefferson, the same mistake Rockets even
makes twice. With strong bounce and excellent shot in middle distance, Gay has
played well in this season, especially in the competition with Rockets.
James Posey,
another version of Battier, while Posey’s attack ability is more stronger. Posey
is exchanged to Rockets by using Kenny Thomas, but Rockets didn’t take full use
of him, and let him go at last. The fact now is verified to be wrong, after
entering Celtics, he is the alternate of Pierce, if he is staying at Rockets,
then the outer line will have a more stronger attack.
