Come on preseason! I want to see what all the analysts over at ESPN are going to rank the Rockets in their season predictions.
He shalt cast lvl 99 magic spell on all of the Rockets!
Dorsey, Artest, Hayes, Battier, and Mutombo are going to bring nightmares to other teams.
So all in all the deal was: Bobby Jackson, the 25th, cash for Ron Artest, 33rd pick, 42nd pick, 43rd pick, Memphis' 09 2nd. Great move by Morey.
At least the Rockets won't be hated on by the media now. :o
There's no way now without Jackson's contract, but I can dream. Iverson-McGrady-Artest-Scola-Yao :cool:
If Francis comes back in good shape and plays like vintage Stevie Franchise. PG:Francis-Alston-Brooks SG:McGrady-Barry-Head...
Bobby Jackson was a big time favorite with his 6th man awards during his stint with the Kings. They're pretty ecstatic about the guy; Jackson is...
Well, the problem is Rafer's weakness is his shooting and he had to shoot to be able to give the Rockets some scoring. Now with Artest, you can...
We have his bird rights so we can easily offer more than others, and I don't think he'd walk away from playing with his favorite coach and two...
Well to be fair, it was unexpected for both of them to flame out.
Yes, any player is traded with his bird rights. So we can easily re-sign him.
If they include Douby, which I doubt, I'd definitely keep him. Patrick Ewing Jr, I'd waive even though he has freakish athleticism.
Since Donte Greene signed his contract, the Rockets have to wait 30 days, August 14th is when the clause wears off, until they can trade him.
I'm going to assume Battier would be fine as a solid contributor off the bench ala Grizzlies playoffs. Battier/Artest on Kobe for 48 minutes. :eek:
Unless we get a good PG, that fits very well in Adelman's offense, I wouldn't trade Battier for now. I just want to see an Artest/Battier defense...
Thank you for letting us watch some decent basketball during the summer.
This means a player can obtain "Bird rights" by playing under three one-year contracts, a single contract of at least three years, or any...
Bird rights are traded with the player, so we do.
Thank you Mike James and Bonzi Wells for getting us Bobby Jackson Thank you Bobby Jackson and Donte Greene for getting us Artest.
