http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=115049 I was up at the gym today when I ran into an old basketball coach of mine who has worked for the Rockets org for the past 14 years. I had seen him at the draft party and asked him some questions that any clutchfans.net reader would. I first touched on the Battier trade and if there was any chance there's another aspect of the trade we the fans don't know about. He said that what is being rumored (Battier for Swift+Gay) is exactly how its going to turn out (I was bummed), but he did defend the move by saying that Battier is very solid, and that Gay probably wouldn't have contributed this year anyways . He also said the Rocks MUST win now because we "have to strike while there 's still an iron to strike" according to him. He then rambled on and mentioned that he thinks Mike James is a done deal and its only a matter of time before he's signed. On another note, he surprisingly said that hopefully Sura would be back next year. I was shocked; I told him everyone here thought Bobby was done. He said that Sura was rehabbing like crazy and that he's seen Sura really go at it in workouts with playing this season as his goal. Take this with a grain of salt, Sura is a professional athlete and isn't the type that would just give up and retire. Anyways, he said that if Sura was back, Rafer would definitely move to the bench. Ok, I know this is a long post, but he did have one more interesting tidbit he passed onto me. I asked him if the rumors that Les was going to sell the team was true. His kinda grimaced and said that there's no way that Les would sell: he loves his team and loves being the big dog. He always walks around and just talks bball with his employees. The reason everyone thinks he's going to sell is that he has a lot of disgruntled ex-employees who has ears in the media and tried to spin information that would lead to thinking Les was selling. Supposedly, Les is a cheap guy when it comes to his workers , always trying to replace them with cheap, just out of college grads. Whatever , he's a great owner in my book. I dont know how reliable this guy is, but it was just a convo at the gym so take it as you like. 有个叫Drew_Le 的网友碰到了体育馆的工作人员,打听到如下消息: 1.Swift+Gay换battier的交易已成定局. 球队认为battier相当稳定,交易做的没错. Gay今年无法为球队做出贡献,火箭队既然"有铁可打",那就要"趁热打铁." 2.MJ的交易基本敲定,来到火箭只是时间问题. 3.Sura恢复的很好,很有希望下赛季回归. 英雄充满斗志,不是那种一有伤痛就想着退 休的球员. 如果sura顺利回归,街球王必然会被挤板凳上. 4.亚历山大热爱火箭,当老板的感觉很好,绝对不会卖了球队.갊 --
