Something Big for the Rockets?

oh wow. that's cool but i'm not so sure les alexander wants another max contract on his hands....maybe winning that championship will loosen everybody up!!

i can't wait to see how adelman is going to play this team. there is a great balance of offense a defense, so i wonder if the lineups (particularly the starting and finishing lineups) will represent that fact. i could see starting/playing dorsey with yao as his own personal bodyguard to give out at least as many bruises as yao gets. maybe you end it with yao, battier, artest, mcgrady, alston? that's some tough mud for a 4th quarter. they have size from big to small, legitimate inside and outside shooters, lock-down as lock-down can get defenders and we're still trying to sign deke who continued to defy age until the last horn sounded. it's august and i'm pumped about basketball. first time for everything...

I had no idea that Artest qualified all the way up to a max deal. That's fantastic news, not because I think we'll have to give him that, but if it works out and he fits like I think he's going to, It's good to know that we have the power to match any offer that's thrown at him should he test the free agent waters.

yea, i'm not very adept at following how contracts and such work out...if i were i would probably want to get paid for it...but the bird rights on artest should give us an option worth having a look at.

Rockets preseason about to begin, so far everyone is saying the right things. looks like we got a lot of the right pieces and plenty to look forward to.
