yeah but with already having gasol on the team would west have been smart enough to go with melo or wade over darko?? or do you think he would have tried to make the eurotwintowers?
The Houston Rockets, facing a potential $1 million fine for talking before July 12th about the draft day deal they have made with the Grizzlies, have remained mum, but Memphis president Jerry West has no problems answering any questions about the trade.
West, in a radio interview (listen online), made no bones about where the Rockets' first round draft pick will be playing.
"Rudy Gay, it's no secret by now he's our property," said West.
When asked if West felt that Gay could be a star in the NBA, he was clear.
"Absolutely, no question," said West. "He's got a 40.5 inch vertical jump, but he can shoot the ball, and he can shoot threes. If you get in any kind of area where there's room, he's going to dunk the ball and it's going to be over people. His coach, Jim Calhoun, absolutely raves about him."
"It's the second happiest night I've ever had as an executive with a team," added West, who brought in Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal when with the Lakers.
