Bonzi Wells To Houston

[PacersGM]

disagree watched him last year. his ass to ratio is pretty bad and he is holding the ball too long. yes he can drive and dish but he can´t set up the offense or control the tempo.

The rockets dont need a guy who can set up the offense and control the tempo.  (see Rafer Alston)

Yao can't create a good low post position down low, thats why he receive only limited touches. He needs a guy who can drive and dish for him in the painted area. Tmac can't do that as well as Rafer.

Yao can´t score in the low post? did you see his game before he broke his foot?
he was scoring with ease. Often scored over 30pts with smooth jumbers and hookshots. He absolut dominated for example the lakers even against double teams. I guess only 2 % of his points come from drive and dish sets.
IMO Yao should get the ball as often as possible. Not only is he shooting over 50% but also can pass the ball out of the double teams that normally is the only way to stop him.
And alston is possible the worst guy i ever saw as a PG controlling his team.

Kings you're giving me bad examples.....you cant compare Bonzi who is a fine player with Rasheed or Mutombo who're/where better and more important.

Sheed's what? The guy's been a role player all his life, what are you talking about?

And second, it's all about teams needs. Pistons needed someone down low to complement Ben and they had that in Sheed. Rockets have Yao but are weak on the perimeter with only Mcgrady who's capable of scoring from the outside or penetrating inside. Bonzi will give them just that. He's a great, great role player. You'll see...

you should be a real gm. what a fun that would be  . i can´t remember the last time a 20/10 guy was called a role player.

sheed was never considered a role player before he went to detroit. he was the go to guy for the blazers, was paid like a superstar, was an ALlstar because of his incredible talent.

Obviously, we're talking about 2 diferent guys cause Sheed NEVER averaged 20/10. Not even close. Actually he's pretty poor rebounder for a guy of his size (6.9 rpg through out his career and his finest season was in Portland 2001/02 when he barely averaged 8rpg). His numbers in 3 seasons in Detroit are 14ppg and 7rpg. You call that a superstar in Austria? Nice to know.

W.R.O.N.G. - He was never The Man or a big star. Even he himself said that. He never wanted to be the first option.

was paid like a superstar,

Um..so what? So was Allan Houston, Samuel Dalembert, Stephon Marbury and many others. You call them a superstars as well?

was an ALlstar because of his incredible talent.

Wow. So? You wanna say role players never made to the AS game? Brad Miller anyone?
