Valid point but crucially our four core players are all still young, which is what's important.

Glad to have DA, we've made a few bargain-basement deals lately, I'm sure he'll be a valuble contributor. Our team jelled real well last season on the fly, hope all our new additions can do it also this season. But as long as Deke's on the team, I'm sure it will be a tight group regardless

Re: We got DA

Well I don't think our 'old age' is an significant issue anymore. We've covered it up nicely now by adding younger/more athletic players at several positions. Stro was the key cog, no disrespect to Juwan at all, but also by adding DA we now a have a real prototypical 2guard to take some of that pressure off Mac for driving and slashing in for offensive rebounds, and leaking out on the break. All this cynic crap about him being 'washed up' is just ridiculous, spree is washed up but even he will play better in a better system like Detroit. DA will re-energize his career in Houston, TMac and DA will gel together nicely, Pippen and Jordan basically. I would hardly call just turning 31 an old player, and injuries, don't even think about that stuff. Injuries happen, and you deal with them, we just didn't have the personnel last year to deal with them. Now we will, if David W had not been playing 38-40 minutes last year he would've been fresher and more on point in the playoffs, this move cements us into at least the conf.finals, more likely the western conf.finals against San Antonio.

uh. pippen and jordan? if DA turns into pippen, the rockets are going to win the next 5 titles. but that isn't going to be happen. anderson is going to be a role player. i'm expecting a decent 20-25 minutes a game, not a star player stepping into a huge role.
