Battier to come off the bench?
Wow... if it's just crap for Artest, that one's a no-brainer then. I didn't like the deal for Scola, but for nobodies it's a steal.
Great job Donnie...you once again fail at your job. The rockets offer that garbage and get artest. You must be too busy helping Team China run the pick n roll.
As for Sacto, they went from asking for Josh howard to getting back trash...
Now the Alston and Battier for Iverson deal makes sense if it happens.
I don't know if it's even possible, but if both trades were to go down, the Rockets starting five would look like this: PG: Iverson, SG: McGrady, SF: Artest, PF: Scola, C: Yao.
Looks pretty good to me.
it's not possible. iverson makes far too much. that iverson rumor is dead now. i do think battier is a little redundant but he is a team guy and he can certainly handle coming off the bench. with all of our injuries we need the depth. a- ing-mazing trade by morey. he continues to amaze me with all the moves he makes. sells super high on greene and gets ron-ron back to his favorite coach in a contract year.
. When the do the Spurs get their chance at a lopsided deal?
Great trade for Houston. If he goes bananas again they only have to deal with him for one year.
Ah, well it was a nice thought anyways.![]()
Ugh.
AI makes 21 million in 2008-2009.
Alston + Battier make 10.9. They are nowhere near the salaries needed to make that deal work. Further, Denver is in lux tax and there is no way they trade their best player for two scrubs plus whatever else it would take to get it done, and Houston doesn't have enough expiring contracts to make it work (they would have with Bobby Jackson still on the roster).
Mitch Kupchack should have been done 3 seasons ago.
ya only reason why he still has a job is because of Grizz dumbass GM Chris Wallace
Yeah... I forgot about Iverson's crazy contract.![]()
If that happens give the Rockets the Western le next year. No doubt in my mind.
If they can stay healthy they are definitely up there, but that's a big if
lets not get carried away.
Over/under on how many regular games T-Mac, Yao, and Artest all play together: 39
Artest for the 28th pick this year, about the same next year and an expiring contract of a 36 year old PG.
YES !!!!
And now watch Battier + Alston go to Denver for Iverson.
DD
Yeah, if the salaries matched, which they won't
Rockets shoulda kept Bonzi.....for whatever reason Bonzi & Artest had great chemistry with the Sad Sac Kings.
He laughs at the Mavericks.
Then none of this would have happened (which then, I see your point).
as long as they are the last 39 games of the season and playoffs then i am fine with that!![]()
Great trade for the Rockets; esp the Adlemen/Artest factor
