Something Big for the Rockets?

Ron Artest will not take any crap from the Jazz. Dorsey and Artest and no more Mr. Nice guy Rockets. Let's hope the other "Ronnie" keeps his head on straight and this is a great deal. I am not concerned about giving up a 19 year old and a late #1, especially when Morey has shown the flair to manipulate the draft so far.

I might be on board for a mini-plan to secure playoff Rocket tickets. Woa boy. Calm down, no Rockets until after we are done with the Texans in January.. Hopefully.

uh...what are the "bird" rights?

not only will ron artest not be taking crap from the jazz, he's most likely not going to be taking crap from anybody including the rockets. hopefully this is the end of mcgrady's 7/26 shooting nights and hopefully mcgrady realizes this is the end of him shooting 26 shots per night.

i know it's still too early for green but good trades usually have to hurt a bit to get what you want. honestly i think i might've expected more to go the kings' way than as is. bobby jack is a nobody, an old one at that, daunte green is a nobody, yet young and full of promise and you're absolutely on target with morey's draft day prowess.

this one trade and picking dorsey have filled tremedous voids in our team this offseason. we've got another good ball-handler, a slasher, a scorer, another tenacious defender, a clutch shooter, some of that needed on-the-court attitude....all without giving away scola, landry, head, brooks or anybody that actually mattered. go rockets!!
