Big Shot Horry: "Rockets made a mistake when they traded for Barkley"

[Lefty Gunz]

Maybe so, but they weren't getting a new core by adding a 33 year old Charles Barkley.

1996-97 was Barkley's 1st year with Houston.
But frankly it might not have mattered whether he was there or not.

That year the Bulls followed up a 72-win season with a 69-win season on their way to a 2nd title in a row............and they probably would have beaten anyone.

I said "New" core, not younger.

33 year old barkley (19 14 5) >>>> robert horry

Barkley was brought in to win a Championship. That didn't happen.

Jazz were the better team they went to back to back finals for a reason

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

When playing your role got you them championship rings, you can say any damn thing you want.



What's Charles going to say? Robert Horry is a turrible player?

Who cares, he's a trivia question. Nothing more.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

I agree they traded 4 players for 1. That's just too damn much to give up.

Reminds me of that Knicks Nuggets Melo trade

 

[Johnny Vulture]

Can't wait for the current players to retire and tell us their true feelings about one another.

 

[jadillac]

He's a 100% right. Chuck was finished at that point and Pippen was damn near finished when they got him.

Barkley has admitted he had nothing in the tank when he got to Houston.

Them Andalusia nikkas never change I see

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Role players talking shyt on superstar players

 

[GoonbergScandal]

Barkley was brought in to win a Championship. That didn't happen.

Only thing positive the Rockets got out of the Barkley trade was finally beating the SuperSonics in the play-offs. Rockets used to could never beat the Sonics. That Rockets/Sonics rivalry was insane back in the 80s/90s.

and you know Barkley dont give a fukk
Horry'll be pawning them rings and Chuck ass'll be riding by like 50 in that window shopper video

He was very good in 97, but afterwards, him dream and glide fell off a cliff

 

[MJ Truth]

Everybody's always right with hindsight on their side.

 

[mastermind]

Rockets used to could never beat the Sonics. That Rockets/Sonics rivalry was insane back in the 80s/90s.

not really that crazy, and if a team wins 5 out of 6 times, was it really a rivalry?

 

[Illin Degenerate]

it wasnt a terrible trade or a mistake, hakeem only had one year left as a 20-10 guy and drexler only had 2 years left period and had already fallen off dramatically from his play on the 2nd title team. if the 95-96 rockets team stayed intact and added kevin willis they wouldnt have gone as far as the barkley rockets. horry, cassell, and chucky brown were their only players under 30, its not like as hakeem was fading that they were going to build around that trio the next 5 years.
