    tiger, I am holding you accountable on this one. ;)

    It's indeed great news. What a steal!

    It seemed that we never got a long rebound last season. It certainly looks totally different with new additions this offseason. I always like Bonzi's skills. 3rd scorer, rebounding, size at the 2, you name it, those huge problems in last season, could be changed by him single-handedly. Given it's his contract year, he certainly will behave and play hard, at least I hope so. People are so thirsty here, no wonder this thread is growing so fast, even at 1 am EDT. I can't wait for the new season to begin.

    i think the 1 thing that makes me smile about this...the faces made, the thoughts and drunk ranting from other teams and their fans right now. "bonzi to houston? :eek: :mad: :eek: :confused: :eek: SH*T!"

    If he can get 12/7 for us on a CONSISTENT (that's where the difference between him and JHoward's stats would be folks), I'd be ecstatic.

    I am with you - need more confirmation before I go over board. But the news that he was coming back to talk to the Rockets is a bit more encouraging with this news. Maybe it was a phone call saying I will your deal and Tracy's "salary adjustment" to come play for a year, then we'll talk about the future :D

    Agreed. TMAC came up huge again! I think Yao also played a role in this. Seeing how TMAC has boosted his popularity in Asia ever since teaming up with Yao Ming, I am sure it would make Bonzi wonder what being on the same team with Yao would to his own marketing.. hell even Shane Battier got a shoe deal from China..

    Now imagine 4 all star starters from the Houston Rockets! ;)

    KillBill.

    Can't believe we've transformed the team so much. Lots of size, speed, defense, shooting, and rebounding in the backcourt. Options aplenty to give Tracy a blow. Still could use another 4/5, so we may not be done, but damn, I like what I see. :cool:
